Traction tech handles increased torque demand

While governments across the world are devising harder targets for emissions reduction, many consumers continue a love affair with powerful internal combustion engines (ICEs). Improving vehicle fuel economy without compromising on power and performance is a challenge that faces powertrain engineers across the automotive industry, but some companies have been developing technologies that can tick both boxes.

Safely and efficiently handling engines with greater power outputs puts pressure on traction and torque management systems. According to Michael Zimpfer, Advanced Product Manager, Chassis Driveline Components, Eaton, “all these needs can be satisfied” with new technologies.
