FIRST EV PowerModule development
A STEINBAUER engineering milestone
The world's first EV PowerModule.
STEINBAUER's Smart Electric Drive development marked the world's first EV PowerModule and an early step in bringing application-specific performance electronics to electric vehicles.
The Smart application combined improved response and acceleration with enhanced regenerative braking characteristics. The same engineering-led approach continues across selected EV applications today.
Historic EV development milestone referenced by STEINBAUER Engineering. Current availability remains application-specific.
Smart Electric Drive
The EV application that started the story.
STEINBAUER developed an EV PowerModule for the Smart Electric Drive with a focus on stronger response, improved acceleration feel and enhanced recuperation.
Up to 15% more torque*
Application-specific increase over standard settings.
Improved response
Sharper acceleration feel from the electric drivetrain.
Enhanced recuperation
Improved regenerative braking feel where supported.
Fast installation
Vehicle-specific fitting with dedicated guidance.
*Compared with standard vehicle settings. Actual results can vary with vehicle specification, software version and operating conditions.
Choose your EV solution
Power enhancement, increased recuperation—or recuperation only.
STEINBAUER EV products are available in different application-specific configurations, depending on the vehicle and the required result.
Increased recuperation without additional power.
This option increases recuperation—regenerative energy recovery—on compatible vehicles while retaining the vehicle's standard power output.
Product type, availability and operating characteristics depend on the exact vehicle, model and powertrain. Compatibility must be confirmed before ordering or installation.
Why choose STEINBAUER?
Specialist performance for selected electric cars.
Electric vehicle compatibility is application-specific. STEINBAUER UK can confirm the correct system for the exact vehicle, model and powertrain.
Vehicle-specific development
Each compatible application is selected for the particular vehicle and electric powertrain.
Flexible fitting options
Self-fit where suitable, or fitting by a competent mechanic or automotive electrician.
UK technical support
Assistance with compatibility, installation, documentation and aftercare.
Original systems retained
The solution works with the vehicle's original control systems rather than replacing them.
Electric vehicle compatibility
Confirm the exact application before ordering.
Electric vehicles differ significantly in their motor, inverter, battery and control architecture. Compatibility must therefore be confirmed against the exact model, version and powertrain.
- Application-specific compatibility checks
- Vehicle and powertrain identification
- Application-specific fitting guidance
- Technical documentation where available
- UK support before and after installation
Application process
From vehicle identification to correct fitting.
Because electric platforms vary widely, the correct system is confirmed before supply or fitting.
