Driveline & Transmission
Friction is the product here, not a defect — an automatic transmission needs a precisely shaped friction curve, not simply a low one. Electrification has not removed this segment; it has moved it. An EV reduction gearbox still needs gear protection, copper compatibility with hairpin windings, and thermal stability.
