Auto Transmission in EV

▶ EV industry has made continuous efforts to reduce production cost by increasing driving efficiency such as increasing energy density,
      decreasing weight of vehicle and increasing motor/inverter efficiency. Nowadays, auto transmission emerges as the most powerful solution
      for increasing driving range for EV.
▶ Porsche adopted two speed auto transmission for new Taycan. Ford and KYMCO (Chinese Taipei, EV2W) introduced 6-speed manual
      transmission for their vehicles.
      • Compact sized auto transmission to satisfy preconditions for EV has not been developed so far in EV industry.
▶ Multi-speed transmission to provide higher efficiency will be the key for EV competitiveness.

NH7AT will be game changer of EV.
※ EU decided stiffer penalties for ICE vehicles from 2021.

New ICE production is not permitted soonest.

In-house PCU Development

▶ PCU(Powertrain Control Unit)

MCU(Motor Control Unit) + TCU(Transmission Control Unit)

▶ Sophisticated and state-of-the-art TCU is developed by in-house technology to make “Zero Shift Time-lag”.
Independent and core powertrain (PCU+Motor+Transmission) system is constructed.

Competitive Edge of NH7AT

Performance effect
▶ Efficiency (km/kWh) improved by 50% comparing to same spec (refer test report)

Battery capacity from 60kWh to 40kWh
▶ Production cost is radically cut.

Mass production
▶ Total parts are reduced 1/10 than conventional transmission, which is easy to be assembled.
• Compact design and less parts to delete hydraulic (or other substitutes), clutches (torque converter), satellite gears, ring gear and
hydraulics-controlled parts. multi-plate clutched, brake, valve bod, etc.

Mounting
▶ Mounted on chassis without current EV platform change
      • Total size combined motor and transmission is smaller and lighter than conventional transmission including reducer.
▶ NH7AT is to be mounted on ICE.
      • Efficiency will increase by over 10%. Production costs and weight will decrease by over 70%.
      • Gear is automatically transferred to neutral when vehicle speed is under constant speed (about 5km/h) at brake “ON” mode.

At brake “OFF” mode, it is automatically transferred to first gear.
• It could be applied to heavy-duty EV2W as well as EV4W

Exclusive compact sized auto transmission for heavy-duty EV2W

COST
▶ With Bygen’s innovation, it radically cut production costs as well as efficiency improvement.
▶ Unique and exclusive solution to apparently cut EV Cost.

AS-IS vs. TO-BE

Based on EV4W (as for EV2W, Refer to Test Data)

Items	Single Speed EV (AS-IS)	NH7AT EV (TO-BE)	Remarks
Efficiency (km/kWh)	-	Increase by 50%	1/3 battery capacity (60kWh 40kWh)
Driving System	Vehicle speed totally depends on motor speed.	Multi gears control torque and rpm while electric motor runs within rated range.
Cooling System	Fluid cooling system indispensable	No cooling system	No over-temperature due to motor operating within rated range.
Motor	IPMSM	IPMSM	IPMSM and BLDC Motor are almost same.
Control System	Expensive inverter to use field weakening control	PCU(Powertrain Control Unit) MCU(Motor Control Unit) + TCU(Transmission Control Unit)	Size of price of PCU decrease by 50%.
Transmission	1st gear reduction by reducer	Weight is less than 20kg including reducer and shock absorber.	Total size of motor and transmission is smaller than conventional motor including reducer.
Durability		Little possibility to early repair parts due to no load on shifting and maintaining gears.	see ‘NH7AT Shifting Mechanism'
Vehicle weight		Smaller battery, No cooling system.	Realization of lightweight
Torque-RPM	Narrow torque-rpm combination	Wider range of torque-rpm range	4 times stronger output torque than single speed motor
Powertrain Costs (controller + motor + Transmission)	Expensive inverter and motor	Total cost including transmission is lower than single speed EV.	• PCU costs 1/3 lower than inverter. • No cooling system (motor and inverter)
Total cost	• Expensive battery cost • Cooling system cost • High frequency noise blocking cost • Expensive powertrain	• Reducing (1/3) battery cost • No cooling system(motor & controller) • No high frequency noise • Reducing (1/2) controller cost	Prominent cost-down for EV
