Hyundai and Kia introduce revolutionary Uni Wheel Drive System
Hyunda’s Motor Company and Kia Corporation unveiled the groundbreaking universal wheel drive system, named "Uni Wheel," at Uni Wheel Tech Day in Seoul, Korea.
This innovative wheel drive system aims to redefine the design of electric vehicles (EVs) by significantly enhancing interior space and paving the way for new mobility possibilities.
Functionally integrated within the space inside an electric vehicle improves space by moving the main drive system components to the vacant space within the wheel hub.
“We are pleased to show innovative ideas that could become game-changers in the future mobility market,” said Jongsool Park, senior fellow at the Institute of Advanced Technology Development of the Hyundai Motor Group. “We will perfect the technology so that customers can experience mobility in a completely different and new way.”
“By moving the reduction gear to the wheel hub, Uni Wheel’s high reduction ratio delivers a significant torque output and allows for a more compact electric motor.”
