Platforming Study
Requirement:
Customer, started their electrification journey with a clean sheet of paper with the aspiration to achieve a modular platform approach for their electric drivetrain solution
Services provided:
Romax conducted a concept architecture study which quickly rationalised their options from many millions to a favoured few with priceable options for their future OXO chart. Easily scalable modular architecture was defined while still demonstrating cost, weight, NVH and efficiency benefits
Business case development
Requirement:
Customer, reviewing the viability for their return on investment needed a fully costed investment bill of material and start up business case
Services provided:
Romax conducted a sourcing study with make v. buy in EU, UK and China region to derive a full cost model for the complete EDU. We worked with production and assembly partners to derive takt time, labour, tooling and facility requirements for the in-house operations and budget 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
Case Studies
Customer entering electrification market with a new product range, required engineering design support.
Romax designed electric drivetrain from architecture first principles with high-volume production in mind from the outset i.e. straight to casting.
Romax using Nexus toolset eliminated the proof of concept mule development hardware phase, significantly reducing the project time and budget.
Customer, started their electrification journey with a clean sheet of paper intending to design a modular platform for their electric drivetrain solution.
Having completed a platform study to span all their applications and duty cycles, Romax developed a bespoke gearbox, electric motor, electric shift actuation and TCU hardware with an ISO26262 safety case in anticipation for a fleet trial.
Romax delivered the hardware with our suppliers and managed the testing.
We delivered both 2:1 integrated gearbox-motor and 3:1 applications complete with chassis, cooling and EDS integration ready to commence series production program.
Luxury passenger car EV development of new EDU and powertrain control system for China market.
Romax developed a bespoke gearbox, electric motor, electric park lock and electric shift actuation meeting the customer’s high spec and futured requirements. We delivered 2:1 integrated gearbox-motor, application ready integrated power electronics hardware and shift control strategy. Romax supported the OEM through the entire design lifecycle including procurement, manufacturing and testing.
Customer, had a proven track record in building industrial gearboxes and were looking to expand their portfolio with supplying hardware for wind turbines.
Having secured an order with a turbine supplier they employed Romax Design Team to provide a complete solution and support the manufacturing and testing stages to achieve GL A-DA certification.
At each stage in the process, Romax engineers provided knowledge transfer so that the customer could develop in-house skills for designing their own products.
Romax consultancy have supplied WTG solutions with traditional layouts and others of high technical challenging designs to achieve compact, light-weight designs.
