A 2021 PACE Award winner: Schaeffler’s P2 Hybrid Module
Schaeffler is also featuring its P2 Hybrid Module for rear-wheel-drive transmissions at AAPEX 2021. A recent winner of the 2021 Automotive News PACE Award, Schaeffler’s hybrid module is an achievement in design and packaging. The module houses an electric motor and disconnect clutch that is mounted between an engine and transmission. By integrating the electric motor with the torque converter, Schaeffler’s P2 Hybrid Module is so compact that it can fit a variety of vehicle platforms.
