Powershift Transmission
Furthermore the LS2000, a power shift transmission for an electric drive Train, was developed. The transmission provides two gears with a spread of 2,5 and maximal input turning speed of 6000 rpm. The power shift clutches are designed to synchronize electric motors with a high moment of inertia. Optionally, the gearbox is available with a control unit which performs the switching functions on request on request of the vehicle control via CAN bus.
