YASA and Lamborghini Unveil High-Performance E-Propulsion Technology 

February 3, 2025 admin 0

Automobili Lamborghini has unveiled the Temerario, the legendary Italian marque’s new twin-turbo V8 hybrid super sports car. Core to the performance are permanent-magnet axial flux motors built with short copper windings optimized to deliver high torque that is as much four times that of other EV motors. 

Succeeding the Huracán, the Temerario sets a new benchmark for the super sports car segment with a total power output of 920 CV, reaching a top speed of more than 210 mph (over 340 km/h) and accelerating from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 2.7 seconds. The Temerario is the second Lamborghini high-performance electrified vehicle and third step in the electrification strategy for the company, completing the hybridization of the entire Lamborghini lineup following the Revuelto and the Urus SE. 

The Temerario replaces the Lamborghini Huracán, which debuted in 2014 and has been the greatest-selling super sports car in the history of the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based carmaker. As stated by Stephan Winkelmann, chairman and CEO, “Every new Lamborghini must surpass its forerunners in performance terms.” With the Temerario, the new hybrid plug-in reaches a new paradigm in terms of performance, sportiness and driving pleasure. The Temerario is the first and only production super sports car engine able to reach 10,000 rpm: a feat typically only achieved in motorsports. […]

National Fusion Facility Achieves Milestone 

December 12, 2024 admin 0

The DIII-D National Fusion Facility in San Diego, home of the largest magnetic fusion research machine in the U.S., recently surpassed its 200,000th experimental cycle since it began operations, marking an important milestone in the development of clean fusion energy. Referred to as “shots,” each of these tests and discharges have advanced the U.S. fusion research program’s collective understanding of how to create, shape, and confine plasmas to support the development of fusion as a source of base-load energy in the future.  […]

Ontario Emerging as Technology Center for Next-Gen e-Power 

August 6, 2024 admin 0

Radiating from brainpower of the Automotive Excellence Centre at McMaster University, startup motor developer Enedym in collaboration with industrial neighbors Toyota Tsusho, a manufacturer of industrial trucks, and JFE Shoji Power Canada, a manufacturer of transformer cores and electrical steel products, are transforming their locale in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada into a center for next generation e-power technology. The place has roots. More than a hundred years ago, George Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla hung out there.

Tech Tips: From desktop simulation to motor drive testing 

July 15, 2024 admin 0

By Dr.-Ing. Christoph Hahn, Head of Technical Marketing, Speedgoat GmbH

Designing electric motor controls and testing embedded controllers for motor drives is time-consuming, and tests with rotating components and under high-voltage conditions are potentially dangerous. Testing intelligently using digital twins allows for a safe testing environment that not only prevents equipment damage but also personal injury. Furthermore, it provides a continuous workflow across all test phases within a single platform. Development thus becomes faster and more innovative, and errors can be detected early on. […]
