Magnet-free motor solution
ALUMOTOR is an electric motor solution designed for applications where supply chain security and robustness are critical.
The aluminium-wound design is permanent magnet free and low copper, enabling a more robust and sustainable supply chain and removing up to 60% of the cost of a standard electric motor.
It includes hairpin winding configuration and innovative cooling technology, enabling increased operating efficiency whilst keeping costs low.
ALUMOTOR is best suited to light commercial vehicle, off-highway and specialised vehicle applications requiring a robust, low-cost and more sustainable solution for their electric vehicle portfolios.
Key Benefits
- Runs on standard power electronics at 800V
- Robust design
- Low cost
- More sustainable materials
- Designed with supply chain security in mind
- Scalable to a variety of applications
