Romax consulting and software support GKN Driveline to design low-noise high-efficiency eDrive gearboxes

GKN Driveline is the world’s leading manufacturer of automotive driveline components: 24,000 employees at 45 manufacturing facilities and three product development centres in 22 countries.

An approximately 10 year old (Japan since 2004 and Europe since 2010) relationship with Romax, using RomaxDESIGNER software and consulting expertise for advanced modelling, simulation and analysis of geared systems provides one of the best-in-class ‘whole system’ approaches for faster and more effective right-first-time design of low-noise gearboxes for hybrids and EVs; tests showed a 2% gain in overall gearbox efficiency without compromising on durability or N&V.
