XAOS Motors Develops EV Platform
Processing EV Driving, Power Generation, and Charging Functions
with a Single Motor
Supporting DCU-Centric Fourth-Generation EV Platform

XAOS Motors has developed the electric vehicle platform 'TRIPLUX', which processes driving, power generation, and charging functions of electric vehicles with a single motor.
TRIPLUX integrates the major functions of electric vehicle powertrains into a single motor using electrical and electronic circuit digital technology, reducing motor size and weight (7kg or less) while significantly increasing output and regenerative braking system performance.

When the TRIPLUX platform is used in electric vehicle manufacturing, manufacturing costs can be reduced by approximately 25%, and it is developed with a domain-centric approach for transitioning to digital electric vehicles such as autonomous driving, supporting fourth-generation electric vehicle platforms centered on DCU (Domain Control Unit).

Additionally, the motor's regenerative braking energy efficiency reaches 85% (compared to the existing 30-40%), significantly extending the driving range of electric vehicles, and with precise control and simultaneous rapid acceleration/deceleration capability, it overcomes the limitations of electric vehicles such as delayed driving response time and regenerative braking range constraints.

Dr. Yoo Su-yeop, Chief Technology Officer of XAOS Motors, stated, "We developed the electric vehicle platform TRIPLUX considering the price competitiveness of electric vehicles," and "While integrating functions, motor output is possible up to a maximum of 15kW/kg, enabling application to high-performance electric vehicles with zero-to-100km/h acceleration in the 2-second range."

He continued, "The automotive industry currently reaches a market size of 3,000 trillion won as a high-value-added industry, but faces difficulties as R&D costs surge due to the transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles, and the engine vehicle parts market has begun declining. With strong growth expected in LV electronic components (over 50%) and HV battery components (over 25%) by 2025, TRIPLUX will contribute to global market expansion," adding that market research institutions predict the electric vehicle market will exceed 10% of the total automotive market by 2025, and as electric vehicle sales increase, subsidies provided for purchasing electric vehicles, which are more expensive than internal combustion engine vehicles, are expected to disappear.

Accordingly, automotive OEM manufacturers are expected to engage in efforts to lower electric vehicle manufacturing costs while simultaneously competing in electric vehicle energy efficiency ratings to reduce environmental burden.

Meanwhile, XAOS Motors plans to establish a U.S. subsidiary in Silicon Valley in 2020 for global supply of electric vehicle platforms utilizing TRIPLUX, and plans to unveil the brand's electric vehicle model E.T, which is being developed with the TRIPLUX electric vehicle platform applied, through CES in 2022.
