Promoted content: Ricardo announces launch of Element modular transmission range for decarbonised propulsion systems

The modular range has been engineered to provide clients with a cost-effective solution to the development of bespoke drivelines for their advanced propulsion systems without compromising on performance or quality. First to be released in the range is a family of epicyclic reduction drives for electric, hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell platforms. 

Customers can select from a menu of baseline solutions available for rapid prototyping, or tailor their selection to their bespoke requirement with a variety pre-engineered torque outputs and gear ratio options.

The Element range has been engineered for sectors with high performance and specialised operational requirements including motorsport, performance automotive, defence, off highway, marine and industrial.

Steve Blevins, Head of Engineering for Ricardo’s Performance Products business unit, said: “Ricardo is well known for our highly bespoke gearboxes for premium motorsport and performance automotive but as product development cycles shorten and budgets are squeezed there is an increasing demand for cost-effective solutions without compromising on the quality and performance that a tailored solution brings to a programme. Element offers just that.”
