Volkswagen's latest MEB platform has a series of design tweaks aimed at getting more power from fewer materials - Jesse Crosse takes a closer look
Intended for the next generation of the ID family, the new, rear-wheel-drive APP550 drivetrain generates 281bhp and 406lb ft of torque at the final drive, depending on the gear ratios in the single-speed reduction gearbox.
It’s also why you have to change down to climb hills. So VW’s quoted 406lb ft of torque is not to be confused with torque output from the motor shaft: it’s what is being sent to the driving wheels, having passed through the reduction gearbox. VW uses permanent magnet synchronous motors that follow the tried and trusted approach of a solid rotor with embedded magnets, surrounded by the windings that generate the rotating magnetic fields. The magnets in the rotor slavishly follow the fields and so the rotor spins. It also keeps pace with the fields so its speed is synchronised with them, hence the term synchronous.
