Electric vehicles command a cost premium and so there have been further developments to lower cost, size and weight, as well as raising efficiency and performance. But new motor concepts are increasingly emerging that claim to offer a step-change from conventional permanent magnet synchronous machines. In this session, you will learn more about how

• Designs reducing rare-earth materials are being developed to limit cost
• Motor integration with power electronics and drivetrains into e-axles enable cost, size and weight reduction
• Enhancements in motor cooling, stator windings and being driven at 800 Volts have been made to raise motor performance
• New motor concepts are being developed to raise efficiency and performance over the conventional permanent magnet synchronous motors
