But Reinhard Fischer, … [continued]
Aviation’s huge carbon footprint could shrink significantly with electrification. To date, however, only small all-electric planes have gotten off the ground. Their electric motors generate hundreds of kilowatts of power. To electrify larger, heavier jets, such as commercial airliners, megawatt-scale motors are required. These would be propelled by hybrid or … [continued]
ZF has produced two million electric motors, a significant milestone. The tech firm offers a variety of electric motors to automobile manufacturers, including hybrid and electric axle drives for electric passenger cars and electric central drives for commercial vehicles. The two million units that were generated made a substantial dent … [continued]
The shape of the longest railroad bridge in South Korea has inspired University of New South Wales engineers to design a new high-speed motor. The prototype interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) has achieved speeds of 100,000 RPM, making it the world’s fastest interior permanent magnet synchronous motor. IPMSM motors … [continued]
The E-Core electric powertrain is a direct swap for the 50 cc engines in millions of scooters and mopeds in the world.
Koenigsegg has announced new high power, compact motors and powertrains for electric cars.
Depending on who you ask, Lordstown Motors is usually one of two things. It’s either the most credible of the many electric pickup startups out there and its use of in-wheel electric motors is an inspired plan to create more flexible, efficient assembly processes that truly free vehicle designers to design … [continued]
Volvo commits to developing its own hybrid & EV electric motors in-house in two new Chinese factories.
Rolls-Royce has decided that it wants to produce the fastest electric airplane in the sky. Furthermore, it’s beyond the concept or visualization phase. Rolls-Royce has tested the technology for this on what’s called an “ionBird,” which means “a full-scale replica of the plane’s core.”
