Magna has announced a new production milestone as it reached a total of 100,000 eDrive gearboxes for Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers.

The milestone was reached as part of Magna’s joint venture with Jiangling Motors to support the growing electric vehicle market in China.

He added,

“Magna’s competitive advantage is attributed to our flexible approach to this growing market by offering both complete systems as well as e-components to our customers.”

Magna continues to deliver comprehensive electrification solutions from mild hybrid to battery electric vehicles as the industry progresses toward a cleaner future.
