This is how we do it
From prototype to series -
we cover the entire development process
How it works
4QT combines the design advantages of electric motors with the economics and time proven reliability of traditional engines.
4 Quadrant transmission describes the operating capabilities of an ideal gearbox. It can inject and recuperate energy at just the right time so that mobility becomes both efficient and low emissions.
4QT works like an automatic gearbox. The optimal gear ratio is calculated by an onboard computer, based on the input from the driver. The gear ratio is created by controlling the electromagnets in the gearbox. Local emission targets can be adapted to on-the-fly. While excess and recuperated energy is stored in the battery so that it can be used later on in the journey.
Functional Prototype
The 4QT technology comprises both physical components that are embedded into the vehicle as well as software that controls the operating modes. This functional prototype gives a glimpse of the inside of the "Magic Box" – the physical parts of the 4QT.
4QT Energy Monitoring
The 4QT has a range of different operating modes to switch between. Depending on the situation, the 4QT always activates the appropriate mode to optimally use, generate or store the energy. The animation below shows the different modes for passenger cars and for construction machines.
