What’s Happening: hofer powertrain is expanding its ULTEVATE platform with the addition of next-generation electric drive units, an all-new dual engine torque vectoring primary drive unit, a single-engine secondary axle, an HV battery system, and a vehicle control unit. These additions aim to support the rapid development and implementation of new electrified vehicles with a modular, adaptable, and scalable platform concept.
Why It Matters: The growing demands for higher performance, improved efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in electric and hybrid vehicles have resulted in increasingly complex powertrain systems. The ULTEVATE platform with its new upgrades optimizes package and power density, charging time, and costs, providing customers with customized and robust solutions for fast series developments. With this, hofer powertrain supports its customers in the holistic implementation of their individual solutions based exclusively on the ULTEVATE platform or incorporating other customer components and systems altogether up to the SOP and beyond.
