The rare-earths-free rotor technology will be shrinking its carbon footprint by 30%. This third-generation motor will also help shorten battery charging times as the system will be built for 800 volts instead of 400 volts, the standard today. Renault and Valeo look at 2027 for mass production.

Thanks to their modular concept, the new ZF e-drives support automotive manufacturers in customizing the further electrification of their entire model range. For end customers, the new technologies offer higher efficiency, more power, and shorter charging times.

In view of globally increasing volumes and the high demand for electric powertrain technology, the next production milestone will be reached soon. "Our order books are well filled, the next two million units of electric motors will probably be produced in less than two years," explained Roland Hintr...

The e-axle is designed to equip new electric light commercial trucks ranging up to 7.5 tons as well as conversions of existing ICE powered fleets of city center delivery vehicles.

Gehring Technologies, a German player covering the prototypical construction of so-called "truck-e-fied" e-motors as well as the further development and testing of innovative production processes, will partner with Daimler Truck. Gehring will also supply equipment for Daimler Truck's technical cente...

The system is called externally excited synchronous electric machine (EESM) and is an alternative to permanently excited synchronous machines (PSM), currently a standard in vehicle electrification.
