MAGNA HAS DEVELOPED SOME INCREDIBLE EV POWERTRAIN TECH! OFF-ROAD DEEP DIVE

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth look at Magna's advanced electric powertrain technologies, showcased through off-road demonstrations of their EtelligentForce pickup (based on a GMC Sierra) and an electric-swapped Jeep Gladiator. The reviewer highlights Magna's significant engineering efforts in electrification, particularly their development of solid e-beam axles with integrated electric motors. Key features discussed include the dual permanent magnet motor system, an automatic front axle disconnect for efficiency, and advanced motor control for precise low-speed crawling. The Jeep Gladiator's "intelligent low range" mode, which mimics traditional low-range gearing through software, is praised for its exceptional control and smooth power delivery, even surpassing the EtelligentForce in refinement. While both vehicles impress with their off-road capability and quiet operation, the Gladiator's powertrain integration is noted as a step forward. Magna's commitment to developing sustainable solutions, including reducing reliance on rare earth magnets, is also mentioned.
