Nissan unveiled its new approach to electrified powertrain development, which it calls “X-in1”. Core EV and e-POWER powertrain components will be shared and modularized, resulting in a 30% reduction, compared to 2019, in development and […]
The demand for electric vehicle power electronics will increase dramatically in the next ten years, primarily driven by rapid growth in the battery EV car market, where market analyst IDTechEx of Cambridge, UK, predicts a 15% CAGR globally over the next decade. Currently, the weighted-average battery capacity of BEV cars is increasing in all regions, piling pressure on battery supply chains, and creating uncertainty. The result is that drive cycle efficiency must come to the forefront of powertrain design, meaning the time has come for high voltage wide bandgap power electronics. […]
With its acquisition of FEMAG in Switzerland and earlier purchase of PowerForge, software company Gamma Technologies has been significantly bolstering its portfolio of multi-physics simulation capabilities for the design of electric machines, fuel cell systems […]
ENGIE Solutions, Siemens Energy, Centrax, Arttic, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and four European universities, together forming the Hyflexpower consortium, have successfully completed the first stage of an innovative research project on renewable energy. Located at the Smurfit Kappa Saillat Paper Mill in Saillat-sur-Vienne in France, the program becomes the first industrial facility in the world to introduce an integrated hydrogen demonstrator. The first testing was completed in February, the next set of trials is set for summer of 2023. […]
Stellantis announced today from its headquarters in Amsterdam that it will invest a total of $155 million in three Kokomo, Indiana, plants to produce new electric drive modules that will help power future electric vehicles assembled in North America and support the goal of 50% battery electric sales in the U.S. by 2030. […]
Niron Magnetics, the company pioneering the development of iron nitride magnets that are high-performance permanent magnets free of rare earths, is scaling up to evolve its company to become a significant player on the magnet market. One of its latest steps has been to appoint Jonathan Rowntree as new CEO. The leadership change and other key appointments represent a planned evolution of the company as it advances from a focus on development towards scaling, commercialization, and productization of its patented Clean Earth Magnet technology. […]
MP Materials and Sumitomo Corporation have forged a rare earths supply agreement which they say will diversify and strengthen rare earth supplies in Japan. Under the agreement, announced February 21, Sumitomo will serve as the exclusive distributor of NdPr oxide produced by MP Materials to Japanese customers. Further, the companies will collaborate on the supply of rare earth metals and other products. […]
Dutch automotive company Stellantis is aggressively advancing its e-mobility pursuits with new stakes in an eVTOL aviation venture and in fuel cell developer Symbio. Archer Aviation of Santa Clara, California and Stellantis have agreed to […]
Leveraging the roots of electrical steel laminations company Tempel Steel, acquired by Worthington Industries a year and a half ago, plans are in the works at Worthington to spin off a new separate steel processing […]
Accurate motor position sensors are required to ensure the efficient and reliable control of electric machines. Various technical solutions are available but, despite the widespread use of magneto-sensitive sensors in end-of-shaft configurations, such a technology […]
