Eaton’s innovative heavy-duty four-speed electric vehicle (EV) transmission received the prestigious “2023 Top 100 Players of China’s New Automotive Supply Chain” award from leading Chinese publication, Gasgoo.
“This award from Gasgoo is a significant honor for our team,” said Bo Yang, president of Eaton Mobility Group APAC. “It underscores the impact our EV technology is having on the industry.”
The Gasgoo Awards recognize outstanding companies and technologies driving the automotive industry forward. Eaton’s transmission was selected over numerous competitors, highlighting its potential to transform the EV landscape.
The key benefit of Eaton’s technology is its ability to address the limitations of single-speed drive commercial EVs, which struggle to balance efficiency at high speeds with torque at lower speeds.
“Adding an EV transmission extends battery range, allowing vehicles to perform well on hills and cruise efficiently on highways,” explains Yang. “This solution even allows for smaller, less expensive motors, making it a compelling option for commercial EV operators.”
By easing the strain on batteries and motors, multi-speed transmissions improve performance and range, while maximizing component lifespan.
Eaton’s heavy-duty four-speed EV transmission is part of the company’s broader commitment to electrification and sustainability. As a global leader in power management solutions, Eaton is dedicated to helping customers transition to renewable energy and address pressing environmental challenges.
