Corner module for vehicle

A corner module for a vehicle, comprising:

• a front-wheel corner module configured to drive a front wheel of the vehicle, the front-wheel corner module including a front-wheel inwheel motor installed on the front wheel and configured to generate a driving force on the front wheel, and a friction braking device configured to generate a braking force on the front wheel;
• a rear-wheel corner module configured to drive a rear wheel, and including a rear-wheel inwheel motor installed on the rear wheel and configured to generate a driving force on the rear wheel;
• a driving information detector configured to detect driving information of the vehicle;
• and
• an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to control the front-wheel corner module to form a friction braking force by using the driving information and to control the rear-wheel corner module to form a regenerative braking force,
• wherein the front-wheel corner module uses the front-wheel inwheel motor that is provided with a lower specification than the rear-wheel inwheel motor,
• the rear-wheel corner module has no friction braking device installed so that the rear-wheel inwheel motor is undamaged by heat,
• the front-wheel inwheel motor is disposed inside a rim of the front wheel and lower than a central axis of the front wheel, the front-wheel corner module not having any other inwheel motor in an area above the central axis of the front wheel,
• the friction braking device comprises one or more calipers that supply a braking force to a brake disc,
• the one or more calipers are disposed above the central axis of the front wheel and disposed on an opposite side of the front-wheel inwheel motor,
• the rear-wheel inwheel motor is disposed inside a rim of the rear wheel and has the same central axis as the rear wheel, and is disposed between the rear wheel and a lower end of a suspension, and
• respective locations of the front-wheel and rear-wheel inwheel motors with respect to the central axes of the front and rear wheels are different from each other.
