I don’t get what this does or what’s the benefit. There’s still a cv-joint there. Otherwise the wheels can’t turn

It replaces the cv joint. Watch the video.

The video shows how their gears go up down and side to side to perform the function of a cv joint. So whatever that cv looking thing is, it’s not a cv joint.

It’s a bit overcomplicated wheel reductor hub, used in some trucks and widespread in heavy equipement, but the input shaft can move a bit. And the artictle doesn’t mention anything about oil in it or how it is sealed.

The motor could move with the wheel, but there goes that space they saved.
