Platforming Study
Requirement:
Tier 1 Customer required a scalable electrified powertrain solution to support their modular drivetrain platform approach.
Services provided:
Romax conducted a powertrain architecture study which rapidly rationalised several thousand technical options to a handful of optimised solutions which delivered a well-balanced price-performance point. This scalable and modular architecture was successfully developed into detailed design and production, demonstrating cost, weight, NVH and efficiency benefits over previously available solutions.
Business Case Development
Requirement:
Customer, reviewing the viability for their return on investment, needed a fully costed investment bill of materials and credible start-up business case.
Services provided:
Romax conducted a sourcing study with make vs. buy in EU, UK and China regions to derive a fully costed model for the complete electric drive unit. We worked with production and assembly partners to derive production and integration time, labour, tooling and facility requirements for all in-house operations and thus provided a full budget requirement for capital equipment.
Strategy Consulting
Requirement:
Customer, reviewing their technology landscape for electrification, needed an independent full assessment of Hybrid drive market potential and routes to market before committing to major investment
Services provided:
Romax a conducted a comprehensive pre-study to advise the Customer and provide a basis for their strategic decision making. Rationale for a portfolio approach was developed, considering IP opportunities, competitive landscape.
