Schaeffler tests emission-free wet lamella brake in DTM Innovation Taxi ahead of e-axle integration push
  • Schaeffler disclosed track-test results for a wet lamella brake aimed at series-production electric axles, targeting zero brake-dust emissions.
  • Testing at the Nürburgring focuses on functionality, service-life behavior, torque consistency, friction stability, low noise, corrosion resistance.
  • Prototype integrates the enclosed wet brake into the rear wheels of an Audi R8 LMS GT2 “Innovation Taxi” used at DTM events.
  • Thermal management system developed to handle high heat loads, using hydraulic pumps, suction pumps, multiple heat exchangers.
  • Long-term goal is an integrated e-axle unit combining brake, actuator, oil-cooling circuit, supporting brake-by-wire, future Euro 7 requirements.
