DESCRIPtION
The D1G1TAL DR1VE™ was conceived from the perspective of an EV manufacturer. It is a complete system of matched integrated components - including motor, inverter-controller, and cooling system - enclosed in a lightweight aluminum shell, allowing for unprecedented efficiency and compactness. The D1G1TAL DR1VE stands alone as the easiest and quickest solution for any manufacturer needing an electric drive system.
INtEgRatION
System integration of high performance components is our highest priority and the principal reason for creating the D1G1TAL DR1VE. Currently, electric drive systems comprise individual components which are wired together, requiring space for the components and wiring. Integration of the system into a vehicle requires complex engineering strategies. The D1G1TAL DR1VE matches and optimizes all the necessary components in a single elegant solution enclosed in a compact, durable shell for optimal space utilization.

Ease and speed of adaptation and installation for EV manufacturers are key advantages of the D1G1TAL DR1VE system. The D1G1TAL DR1VE allows manufacturers to dramatically reduce the design cycle and development budget necessary to incorporate a traditional system of individual components. The work has already been done for customers so they can receive a sophisticated, quality “plug and play” system. In addition to reduced installation and assembly time, the D1G1TAL DR1VE improves system durability and makes service and warranty work easier and less costly. For example, all the electronics are mounted on a single chassis allowing for complete replacement in less than 30 minutes. There is no sacrifice of power with the D1G1TAL DR1VE’s compact packaging. The D1G1TAL DR1VE is the smallest packaging solution available for an integrated electric drive system while producing up to 1150 N-m of torque. Finally, its integration provides the benefit of increased efficiency and safety.
aPPlICatIONS
There is a full range of D1G1TAL DR1VE models currently in different stages of testing and design to suit the specific needs of small commuting vehicles, larger luxury sedans, light/medium duty vans and trucks and extreme super cars. The first model of the D1G1TAL DR1VE, is targeted for compact electric vehicles and light duty vans and trucks.
