Zeroshift develops clutchless multi-speed transmission to extend electric vehicles'range and improve performance

Transmission specialist Zeroshift has devised a multi-speed gearbox for electric vehicles (EVs) that needs no clutch - a damper inside the gear hubs and electronic control of the motor make ratio changes seamless. Having more than one gear ratio and the ability to shift without interrupting torque means the motor runs at higher efficiency, extending range and batteries' life expectancy by up to 10 percent.
