What We Do
Services
TORVEC provides specialist driveline and powertrain engineering services. We take a system-level approach to the design and optimization of drive systems, their sub-systems and components.
Transmission & Driveline Architecture
We develop complete driveline system architectures for conventional powertrains, spanning concept through to manufacture. Our work covers the full torque path — from input shaft to wheel end.
- Manual, automated manual and automatic transmission development
- Dual and triple clutch (DCT / TCT) systems
- CVT and power-split transmission architectures
- Transfer cases, PTOs and differentials
- Axles and final drives
- Torque distribution and driveline optimization
Electrified Drivetrain Systems
We engineer electrified driveline systems optimized for mass, efficiency, NVH and durability. From single-speed EV transmissions to dedicated hybrid architectures and integrated motor-gearbox systems, we bring mechanical depth to the electrification challenge.
- Single and multi-speed EV transmissions
- Series hybrid architectures
- Parallel hybrid architectures
- Series-Parallel (Power-Split) hybrid architectures
- Mechanical motor design and integration
Specialist & High-Performance Drive Systems
We develop mechanical drive systems for demanding applications where standard solutions fall short — high speed, extreme environment, tight packaging or unusual duty cycles. Our experience spans aerospace and marine propulsion through to mining equipment, robotic systems and more.
- Aerospace accessory and ancillary drive systems (AMAD / AGB)
- Industrial and mining equipment drive systems
- Robotic actuation and precision motion drives
- High-speed reduction and rotor drive gearboxes
- Marine propulsion, reversing and auxiliary drives
- Heavy-duty cross-drive and powershift transmissions
- Highly flexible, custom test rig gearboxes
Geartrain Design & Optimization
We provide in-depth geartrain engineering from macro and micro geometry definition through to full geartrain optimization. We design gears in the context of the system around them.
- Gear macro and micro geometry design
- Tooth contact analysis and load distribution
- Geartrain efficiency and loss optimization
- NVH prediction, diagnosis and refinement
- Lubrication and thermal management
Driveline Component Design & Analysis
We deliver detailed design and analysis of driveline components and sub-assemblies, providing the engineering depth that complex problems demand. We take a pragmatic approach to design and analysis, ensuring manufacturability throughout.
- Housing, casing and structural component design
- Disconnect, park-lock and torque vectoring systems
- Shaft, gear and bearing system analysis
- Stress and thermal FEA
- Fatigue and durability assessment
- Vibration and noise analysis
