Nissan's Twin-Motor All-Wheel-Control Technology Is A Force To Be Reckoned With

e-4ORCE expands electric vehicle performance capability

The 'e' represents Nissan's technologies enabled by a 100% electric motor drive system. '4ORCE,' pronounced 'force,' evokes physical power and energy with '4' standing for the all-wheel control driving capability.

'The e-4ORCE twin-motor all-wheel control technology offers precise handling and stability, which gives drivers greater confidence and even more excitement than ever before,' said Takao Asami, Nissan's senior vice president of research and advanced engineering. 'This technology enables excellent cornering performance and traction on slippery surfaces and comfortable ride for all passengers.'

The technology was born from lessons learned in the development of the Nissan GT-R's ATTESA E-TS torque split system and the Nissan Patrol's intelligent 4X4 system. Engineers developed the e-4ORCE technology to specifically manage electric vehicle power output and braking performance to be smooth and stable.

Unparalleled ride comfort is the result of the e-4ORCE technology's ability to minimize vehicle pitch and dive. This is accomplished by employing regenerative braking from both front and rear motors, making city stop-and-go traffic less jostling. Similarly, on rough, bumpy roads and when accelerating, motor control is optimized to maintain ride comfort by minimizing irregular movement.

Nissan will be displaying its zero-emission crossover Ariya Concept — which features e-4ORCE — at its CES booth but the company is also showcasing the technology on a twin-motor, all-wheel-drive technology test car in Las Vegas during CES.

CES 2020 runs from Jan. 7-10 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Nissan welcomes all attendees to its display (6306) in the North Hall.
