Vitesco Technologies is set to deliver its EMR3 integrated axle drive to Honda for the upcoming launch of the CR-V e:FCEV in the US and Japan. This marks the first integration of Vitesco's drive system into a hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV). The CR-V e:FCEV will also feature Vitesco's fuel cell stack bypass valve for efficient air flow control within the fuel-cell system. With a focus on innovation, the vehicle offers a unique combination of a long driving range and quick refueling, along with the ability to drive purely electric for up to 60 kilometers using its high-voltage battery. Additionally, the car includes a 110 V electric outlet, allowing it to function as a clean power source in emergencies or outdoor activities. The EMR3 axle drive system, known for its compact design and high efficiency, has seen significant success in the market with over 900,000 units delivered globally by March 2024. The collaboration between Vitesco engineers in Europe, China, and Japan has resulted in a powerful 174 horsepower system for the CR-V e:FCEV, offering a range of over 600 kilometers with a full hydrogen tank. Honda's history in hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles goes back to 2002, and the CR-V e:FCEV continues this legacy with improvements in durability, efficiency, and cost. This model is manufactured in Ohio and stands out as the sole fuel-cell electric passenger vehicle produced in the US, showcasing Honda's dedication to sustainable transportation.
