Rolls-Royce has supplied offshore oil and gas shipping company Starnav Serviços Marítimos of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with 40 mtu 16V 4000 M33S engines to power ten new vessels for Brazilian energy company Petrobras. The engines, delivered in two phases, will […]
Research project EA 2.0 in Germany aims to further develop the electric drive to create sustainable and high-performance solutions for industry and the environment through more efficient manufacturing, reduced material and energy consumption as well as increased power density. Innovation in magnets and manufacturing process play key roles. Applications in hydrogen production and compression could be a beneficiary. […]
Since the 1960s, academic, commercial and military researchers have attempted to realize a novel form of maritime propulsion involving no moving parts – no propeller, no drive shaft, no seals – just magnets and an electric current that silently propel a boat or submarine through water. It has been an elusive goal but tests are being conducted at Navy facilities this summer with an aim toward developing a practical, workable system. […]
YASA, a global leader in the design, development, and supply of ultra-high-performance electric motors officially opened their fully upgraded manufacturing facility in Yarnton, near Oxford. The £12m investment boosts YASA’s manufacturing capacity, setting new benchmarks […]
Leonardo DRS announced February 24 that it has received a $45 million U.S. Navy Submarine Industrial Base investment commitment through contracts with Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (HII) Newport News Shipbuilding. The investment is expected to expand the […]
Tier-1 components manufacturer Hyundai Mobis is striding forward aggressively to build a leadership position in automotive electrification. New efforts unveiled in October include plans to build another major new electrification plant in Europe, plus a […]
Thinking about a hybrid-electric vehicle, most people probably envision a Toyota Prius but propulsion engineers at Rolls-Royce take a broader, heavier view. The company’s Power Systems division is expanding its mtu engine program for military land vehicles to include a hybrid powerpack for special tactical requirements and a 10-cylinder, over 1.100 kW power output, version of the mtu Series 199 which has been extremely successful with NATO forces. Both concepts were premiered at the Eurosatory defense trade fair in Paris in June. […]

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. […]
MAHLE SmartBike Systems, the e-bike company of automotive component supplier MAHLE, has launched its new X30 drive system. The highlight is a new permanent-magnet hub motor designed for high torque and light weight. The full […]
NXP Semiconductors and ZF Friedrichshafen plan to collaborate on next-generation SiC-based traction inverter solutions for electric vehicles. By leveraging NXP’s advanced GD316x high-voltage isolated gate drivers, the solutions are designed to accelerate the adoption of […]
