Advanced Integrated and Cooled Electric Drive - ACeDrive
Lead Participant:
GKN HYBRID POWER LIMITED
Abstract
The ACeDrive project aims to develop a 2030 generation eDrive power train but for production by 2023, in so
doing it will hasten the displacement of the internal combustion engine, enable manufactures both to gain
greater range and performance from their vehicles and lower the cost to the consumer.
Project ACeDrive consortium is comprised of GKN Innovation Centre, part of GKN Driveline, the foremost
global eDrive gearbox supplier, Drive System Design (DSD) renowned SME automotive engineering
consultancy and University of Nottingham (UoN), the UK hub and centre of excellence for electric drive
development. ACeDrive builds on the consortium knowhow from previously funded projects in high-speed
electric machines and will develop genuinely globally important IP for the UK and grow our capability in the
design and manufacture of high volume power electronics and electric motors.
