With increasing electrification, the automotive industry is increasingly faced with the challenge of combining vehicle performance and versatility. DHD REX aims to meet this need with a multi-mode design that supports electric driving mode, a generator mode for efficient range extension and an optional parallel hybrid mode. This increases the range while ensuring consistently good ride quality. "Magna's approach to electrification aims to provide flexible development opportunities," explains Diba Ilunga, President Magna Powertrain.

Integration Options in Various Markets

As a complementary solution to the supplier's DHD Duo, the dual-e-motor hybrid system already in series production, DHD REX is designed from the ground up to offer scalable efficiency and flexible integration for carmakers in different regions. The single-motor design reduces system cost and complexity, while providing smoother and more predictable handling in all driving situations.

Advantages At A Glance
