Alumotor: our sustainable, cost cutting electric machine
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.
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.

Vehicle control software
Ricardo’s vehicle control software essentially acts as the central intelligence system (the brain) in hybrid and electric vehicles (HEV / BEV), seamlessly integrating and optimising all vehicle systems which is crucial to maximise efficiency, performance and safety
Ricardo’s vehicle control software provides a flexible, scalable and compliant solution to develop high performance, safe and efficient electric and hybrid vehicles while significantly reducing development time and costs.

Understanding your sustainability impacts
Sustainability strategy and reporting are crucial for shaping the future of business operations and achieving zero-emission fleets. Ricardo will help you understand your current and future environmental impacts across the supply chain, meet the demands of regulators, investors, and customers, and grasp how these drivers are shaping the future of transportation and logistics operations.
The CSRD will affect many North American organizations with activities in the EU. The CSRD requires businesses to report on a broad range of ESG
matters, against 12 mandated European Sustainability Reporting
Standards (ESRS) that have been drafted by the European Financial
Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG)
Get a deeper understanding of the environmental and social impacts of your current and in-development fleet. LCA’s can provide robust data to back up green claims.
We conduct market assessments, map resources, advise on sustainable procurement options, facilitate supply chain engagement and offer sustainable packaging advice.
We help you to understand your direct operational emissions and value chain (Scope 3) emissions associated with existing and developmental products.
We advise policy makers and legislators around the world and use these insights to help organizations understand and increase adaptability to legislative challenges such as the Sustainable Batteries Regulation and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)
