Electronic differential

The classical automobile drivetrain is composed by a single Internal combustion engine providing torque to one or more driving wheels.

These systems, usually with one motor per driving wheel, need an additional top level controller which performs the same task as a mechanical differential.

The application range is wide and includes the huge T 282B[2] from Liebherr which is considered the world largest truck.

These motors providing a maximum power of 2700 kW are controlled in order to adjust their speeds when cornering, thus increasing traction and reducing tire wear.

The Eliica is also equipped with electronic differential; this eight-wheeled electric vehicle is capable of driving up to 370 km/h whilst maintaining perfect torque control on each wheel.
