L’accord verra les entreprises fournir conjointement la technologie d’entrainement à moyeu électrique intégré aux marchés des véhicules blindés militaires.
Texelis et QinetiQ ont conclu un partenariat stratégique pour fournir conjointement la technologie d’entraînement à moyeu électrique intégré aux véhicules blindés militaires.
Dans le cadre du partenariat stratégique, Texelis fabriquera la technologie Hub Drive à grande échelle pour répondre aux demandes du marché; tandis que QinetiQ apportera la technologie et l’expertise de base en électrification. L’approche conjointe tirera parti de l’expertise technique et technologique unique des deux organisations.
Jean Vandel, Managing Director for Defense, Texelis, commented: “This is a very important area of development, both for Texelis and the military vehicle market worldwide. The Electric Hub Drive enables enhanced power, system efficiency and the ability to operate silently using the battery as a source of power. This allows us to rethink the vehicle power architecture completely and discard conventional axle and driveshaft design constraints. This offers vehicle OEMs much greater freedom to design the best, most flexible vehicles for tomorrow’s battlefield.
“We are extremely pleased to join with QinetiQ under this strategic agreement to enable military customers to access this design.”
Mike Sewart, Chief Technology Officer at QinetiQ, commented: “We are very excited to be partnering with Texelis in this fundamental component of military platform modernisation. QinetiQ’s Electric Drive capability has been in research and development for many years. We’ve leveraged our insight into global platform mobility solutions and electrification, and designed a solution to be used in the most advanced of military scenarios. Through our strategic partnership with Texelis we will be enhancing and scaling this capability to deliver solutions for our customers at pace.”
