Wheel cover E-traction
Request
We are e-Traction. Part of one of the Fortune Global 500 companies. We develop and produce electrically-driven wheel axles. We are looking for a suitable wheel cover. The axles are fitted to newly built buses, but we also convert diesel buses into electric vehicles. We call this “retrofitting”.
Our advice
In consultation with e-Traction, we adapted the design of the wheel cover, so that we can manufacture the product with as few process steps as possible. The basic tool costs are already low. This fits perfectly with the “small” quantities in this start-up phase. To prevent “balance” in the wheel cover while driving, the brackets at the rear (for mounting) have been cleverly positioned.
Advantage
The wheel cover is “tailor made”. This was necessary in view of the innovative technology present in the electric wheel axles. The cover also meets all functional requirements, at an extremely competitive price. This applies to the start-up phase, but also when quantities increase to medium-sized series!
