[2] The first generation PE system used a discrete traction motor and power inverter electronic module, connected with an orange three-phase cable.

In 2017, Hyundai confirmed reports that it was developing a dedicated platform for electric vehicles; at the time, only a few manufacturers had done so.

[3][4] The third-generation PE System consists of a compact, integrated powertrain module, including traction motor, reduction gear transmission, and power inverter.

The PE System has also been installed into the Hyundai Vision FK concept, an eco-friendly hydrogen electric vehicle.

Their chassis are derived from the front-wheel-drive Hyundai-Kia K3 and N3 platforms, with body structures redesigned for the battery electric vehicles.

The E-GMP platform is an 800 V architecture with scalable wheelbase length, and supports batteries from multiple manufacturers.

[14] SiC is used for the rear (main) motor to minimize conversion losses and to facilitate its use in high-voltage and high-current circuits.

[8] In 2022, Hyundai announced that it will switch to SiC for the front motor inverter also, improving efficiency and range by approximately 5%.

The front and rear crumple zones are designed to absorb and dissipate the energy of a potential impact, and high strength steel is used to protect the battery and passenger compartment.
