Powering innovation for a sustainable future
Thank you for joining Ricardo at the Innovate UK manufacturing and materials showcase. We are thrilled to showcase our latest advancements in sustainable engineering, electrification, and advanced materials, while engaging with industry leaders and innovators to shape the future of UK manufacturing.
Alumotor: Our sustainable, high-performance electric motor
Ricardo’s Alumotor is an innovative electric motor designed to enhance sustainability and supply chain security by eliminating rare-earth magnets and reducing copper usage. Utilising synchronous reluctance architecture with aluminum windings, the motor offers high efficiency while minimising environmental impact.
Advanced oil cooling techniques further improve performance, making it a cost-effective and durable solution for light commercial vehicles and off-highway equipment.
Robust, powerful, lightweight
With a rated power of 120 kW and peak power of 195 kW, the Alumotor delivers robust performance while maintaining a lightweight design at just 80 kg. Its 2 kW/kg power density ensures an optimal balance between efficiency and power output.
By prioritising sustainable materials and innovative engineering, Ricardo has developed an environmentally friendly e-motor that meets the evolving demands of electrified mobility.
