IMPACT - Integrated Magsplit Powertrain with Advanced Control and Testing
Lead Participant:
MAGNOMATICS LIMITED
Abstract
Magnomatics’ innovative and proprietary magnetic CVT (MAGSPLIT) integrates a magnetic planetary gear
and a highly efficient control motor/generator to enable the realisation of more efficient and compact Hybrid
Electric Vehicle powertrain. A Vehicle Intent MAGSPLIT component has previously demonstrated high
efficiency and robustness in a compact package, showing the potential to reduce CO2 emissions from new cars
by 1.3Mtonnes p.a. by 2025. For this project, a rig based full powertrain demonstrator will be delivered, with a
major automotive OEM providing the vehicle specifications, packaging, prototype test engine and technical
steer. Magnomatics will design, build and test the MAGSPLIT based full powertrain, Romax Technology will
determine optimum HEV architecture and mechanical system, CMCL will provide engine and test analysis,
University of Sheffield will lead the delivery of the powertrain controller. A powertrain capability and benefits
assessment will enable the OEM to assess business case and market potential, enabling future UK and EEA
volume manufacturing of high value assemblies and components.
