Vitesco Technologies, a key player in drive technologies and electrification solutions, is set to supply its EMR3 integrated axle drive to Honda for the upcoming CR-V e:FCEV, scheduled for release in the U.S. and Japan later in 2024. This collaboration marks the first instance of Vitesco's drive system being incorporated into a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle, emphasizing mature technology, energy efficiency, and attractive driving dynamics. Additionally, Vitesco Technologies will provide the fuel cell stack bypass valve to regulate air flow within the vehicle's fuel cell stack, leveraging years of experience in managing combustion engine air flow. The CR-V e:FCEV stands out for its innovative features, combining the range and quick refueling of an electric vehicle with the efficiency of a fuel cell system. The vehicle also offers the capability to drive up to 60 kilometers solely on electric power from the high-voltage battery and includes a 110 V electric outlet for external device powering. Vitesco's EMR3 axle drive system, known for its compact design and high efficiency, will deliver 174 horsepower and 229 lb.-ft. peak torque for the CR-V e:FCEV, contributing to stress-free long-distance sustainable mobility. With manufacturing already underway in Tianjin, China, the EMR3 proves to be a pivotal component in Honda's pursuit of carbon neutrality, as highlighted by Thomas Stierle, a Vitesco Technologies executive.
