Leading Japan-based motor manufacturer Nidec is relentlessly pursuing future topologies for e-propulsion along with mass production capabilities for its growing lineup of e-axles. The progress was evident in its forward-leaning display at Techno-Frontier 2025 motor […]
Engineering company Ricardo has developed a prototype electric propulsion module, called Alumotor, that is an innovative rare earth metal free synchronous reluctance motor. The motor was delivered within a consortium project it led that was […]
Conifer, a Silicon Valley startup, has secured $20 million in seed funding to commercialize its magnet-agnostic electric motors and powertrains that are coupled with a software-driven manufacturing approach. Founded by repeat entrepreneurs and ex-Apple Special Projects Group and Lucid engineers, the company has spent the last two years developing and validating its technology with customers. It announced the successful funding in April. […]
Celadyne Technologies has been awarded $1 million for further development of high-performing membranes for fuel cells and electrolyzers. From the DOE’s Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies Office and coordinated by its new Critical Materials Collaborative, the grant was announced December 10. It is part of a package of 14 awards spanning an assortment of areas including rare earths recycling, hydrogen fuel cells, magnetic technologies and materials processing to improve America’s domestic supply chain of critical materials. […]
The BMW Startup Garage and Munich-based company DeepDrive are set to road-test a revolutionary permanent-magnet electric motor. The concept features dual rotor technology and is expected to enable super-efficient, powerful drives that offer plenty of […]
e-VAC Magnetics, part of Vacuumschmelze, has been awarded a $111.9 million Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Tax Credit to advance the construction of its first USA magnet manufacturing facility in Sumter, South Carolina. The facility was […]
Holding big new orders from automakers for permanent magnets and planning to build a globally integrated enterprise for magnet and motor component manufacturing, Korean steelmaker Posco International announced on March 18 that it has successfully […]
Featuring powerful new motors of a permanent magnet synchronous design, Swedish automaker Polestar is rapidly expanding its production of electric vehicle models with high power output and speedy performance. Begun as an auto racing engineering enterprise, the company’s approach is to focus on exceptional design for high performance while conducting manufacturing through the facilities of others and focusing on overall sustainability — including use of recycled magnets. […]
ZF has developed an electric motor which does not require magnets. In contrast to the magnet-free concepts of so-called separately excited synchronous motors (SESM) already available today, ZF’s I2SM (In-Rotor Inductive-Excited Synchronous Motor) transmits the energy for the magnetic field via an inductive exciter inside the rotor shaft. This makes the motor uniquely compact with maximum power and torque density. […]
Among its ambitions for furthering e-mobility technology on multiple platforms, top-tier automotive supplier Valeo Group is planning to develop in collaboration with Renault a powerful rare earth-free motor for electric automobiles by 2027, while also achieving impressive success with its new 48V technology for e-bikes.
