Electric Axle Drive System eBeam™ Mid
Structure oriented design to support high payload vehicles with matching power for continuous duty usage.
Trucks work hard, both for your family and at the job site. An electric truck has to be equally capable, and Magna’s eDS HV eBeam electric axle makes that possible. Innovative engineering means no compromises in towing, payload, or off-road capabilities, and no expensive re-engineering of the truck’s architecture. Magna’s eBeam uses the OEMs’ suspension and brake systems, and is scalable so that it can be used in any solid rear axle truck platform- including light commercial vehicles. Available in several variants, including: single motor/single speed, single motor/two speed, and a twin motor variant. Options include ePark Lock, electric locking differential, with power ranges up to 250kW per motor.

Highest flexibility for multiple applications
Usually in hybrid architectures, to enable boosting and recuperation, an e-machine must be added to the transmission or engine. However, this also leads to a critical cost-benefit question. With the new Dedicated Hybrid Drives (DHD) we simplified our existing hybrid concepts and utilized our long-term development experience with hybridized dual-clutch transmissions. We added a strong e-machine, shifted the dynamic operation towards it while standardizing the engine operation, and reduced the number of gears.
DHD offer best-in-class electric performance and efficiency, outstanding convenience and adaptability to real-world requirements in different vehicle segments and markets. Magna is looking at a complete systems approach to both conventional and electric platforms.

Dedicated Hybrid Drive DHD Duo
The Dedicated Hybrid Drive DHD Duo is a two e-motor suitable for HEV applications, delivering outstanding performance with high drivability and comfort even when driving in congested traffic. DHD Duo is developed in a platform approach, scalable in power and in number of gears to meet B to E vehicle segment requirements.
It enables a flexible architecture switch between P1 + P3, P2 + P3 and Range Extender (REEV). Within the standard P1+P3 hybrid architecture. the P1 e-motor acts as a generator to start the ICE and charge the battery at any time. The P3 traction e-motor is responsible for all-electric starting and reversing and drives the front wheels in serial mode. In parallel mode, both ICE and traction e-motor will cope with each other to deliver as much torque to the wheels as possible to ensure strong acceleration. With this architecture, DHD Duo ensures very smooth and comfortable driving in all driving conditions supported by electric, serial and parallel driving modes.
Being part of Magna’s modular and scalable building blocks, the mature common parts, including e.g., the shift system and park lock system, would be re-utilized. In addition, the usage of dog clutches generates even further package and cost benefits to our global customers.
Dedicated Hybrid Drive DHD Eco
DHD Eco – the next-generation hybrid drive
The DHD Eco is consequently designed for dominant electric operation. Therefore, the electric drive is the functional core and the 120 kW e-motor handles the most dynamic driving situations in hybrid mode. In turn, the combustion engine can be operated more consistently resulting in less fuel use and reduced GHG.
Furthermore, the e-motor handles launch and reverse driving. This is beneficial because e-motors can be controlled more exactly and precisely than typical clutches or torque converters. As a result, the DHD Eco offers better traction and launch acceleration. Stop-and-go operation is also more comfortable due to the absence of the clutch and shift operation.
Given its much-reduced mechanical complexity, the DHD Eco is the most cost-efficient plug-in hybrid drive on the market. Best-in-class efficiency and small packaging are further benefits. Its compactness even allows for B segment applications. It enables a new generation of plug-in hybrid drives, which allow for a new level of efficiency and performance in both electric and hybrid driving modes.
Scalable and modular building blocks
The DHD Eco with its electric drive components is part of the Magna kit of modular and scalable building blocks. These core components include e-motors, inverters, shift elements, and clutches, as well as the software itself. This allows for parameters like performance and range to adapt to real-world requirements in different vehicle segments and markets.
Dedicated Hybrid Drive DHD Plus
The DHD Plus is part of the 400 family and uses smart modular scalability approach for high torque, high voltage (HV) applications.
The DHD Plus is reduced to 5 gears (acting as a dedicated hybrid transmission) with eLaunch, eReverse and two gears in electric driving; full powershift capability in all modes.
