Characteristics of the 3-in-1 and 5-in-1
3-in-1: Electric powertrain for EVs
Electric powertrain that integrates 3 components: a motor, an inverter, and a reducer
5-in-1: Electrified powertrain for e-POWER
Electrified powertrain that integrates 5 components: an electric generator and an increaser in addition to the 3 components of the 3-in-1
