- EsDesign to reveal the simplest, & best, EV driveline by end of 2018 - Australian owned EsDesign™ Co, located in Chonburi Province, Thailand, will disclose its patent pending EV driveline before the end of 2018. Using a radical rotor topology, the EsDrive Driveline provides the least friction, least weight and lowest parts count; handling, packaging and NVH are also greatly improved. Driveline friction will be close to halved, weight even more, with an extremely low unsprung weight possible. There are no limitations to size, weight or torque capacity of the basic design; from personal scooters, right up to military behemoths, when designed to the application. Initially, it will be used for city cars and commercial vehicles; development for performance vehicles will follow. The EsDesign Driveline will greatly reduce the cost of EVs, finally making them more economical to purchase than equivalent ‘ICE’ (internal combustion engine) vehicles; running costs will also be considerably less. Reduced friction and weight will provide a greater range with a given battery, or the same range, with a smaller / lighter / more economical battery. ................................... EsDesign was founded by automotive engineer & industrial designer Stuart Saunders, who studied at UNSW on a traineeship with Leyland Australia. One of his first automotive inventions was a progressive & programmable rate suspension system for the rear of the Mini, with only one moving part for 2 wheels. Some of his later inventions were a number of 4WD systems, a no friction limited slip differential, and a 6W/°C CPU cooler. Others; tinyurl.com/ssinventor. For anyone interested in Electric Vehicles, EsDesign holds the IP on the most important development in EV drives for many years. Stuart Saunders 20 / 8 / 2018 EsDesign Co., Ltd. P.O.
