Electric drive units (EDUs) must operate reliably across a wide range of road grades and duty cycles, especially in commercial and off-road applications. For the iNetic rDA gearbox, a critical factor in maintaining consistent performance across inclines and declines is gearbox oil gradability, the ability of the gearbox to maintain optimal lubrication regardless of vehicle pitch.
The UK government’s upcoming changes to vehicle excise duty (VED), set to begin in April 2025, are making waves among drivers, particularly electric vehicle (EV) owners. These revisions mark a pivotal moment in the nation’s transition to cleaner transportation, aiming to balance the tax system while addressing the growing number of EVs on the road. While the changes bring new costs for drivers, they also hint at a more sustainable and equitable future for all. Let’s dive into the details and explore the bigger picture.
Morgan, the defender of string-backed driving gloves, has created the XP1, an electric three-wheeler case study. The XP1 is based on the same chassis and aluminium monocoque as the Ford-engined Super 3, and has been operational for three months.
The company uses electrical equipment from various manufacturers, including the 100kW iNetic motor and inverter. Both these equipment are vital assets to a Morgan, and iNetic did an excellent job manufacturing them. The motor and the inverter were made with great precision and craftsmanship that it affects the performance of Morgan to a great extent.
