A new in-wheel motor for electric vehicles (EVs) delivers a massive amount of torque in a lightweight package, its developers say. The motor — which was made by YASA, a subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz ...

Less than two months after smashing its own (unofficial) record in power density with its proprietary axial flux motor, YASA has unveiled a real-world application of the technology as an in-wheel ...

The world of electric motor tech moves fast. Just months after YASA claimed an unofficial record for the most power-dense unit ever, the Mercedes-owned company specializing in axial-flux design motors ...

The axial flux electric motor pioneers at YASA are at it again. Just three months after sending tremors through the electric motor market with an unofficial world-record power density that absolutely ...

Right from the first turn of the ignition, director Potsy Ponciroli lets us know that the things we might expect of an action film set in ’70s Detroit are exactly the things he intends to deliver. A ...

What if a single innovation could save industries millions of dollars, slash carbon emissions, and redefine what we thought was possible in energy efficiency? Enter ABB’s new 56.2 MW brushless ...

A research team has developed a molecular motor which consists of only 16 atoms and rotates reliably in one direction. It could allow energy harvesting at the atomic level. The special feature of the ...

A new chapter in electric motor design may be underway, and it’s being written in the UK. Yasa Motors, based in Britain and owned by Mercedes, has developed a new electric motor that sets a new ...

BMW has a novel way to hold the magnets in place in an axial flux motor, with an eye toward efficiency and long-term durability. Being a central part of the motor core, rotor design is critical to ...

Engines need motor oil to run smoothly. It lubricates moving parts, reduces friction, minimizes wear, regulates engine temperature... it even helps keep the engine clean. That's why it's so important ...

Why EV manufacturers are working toward eliminating rare-earth materials from their motors. An introduction to the wound-rotor synchronous motor (WRSM) architecture, and some of its innovative ...

In today’s world, motors are ubiquitous, powering everything from household appliances to industrial machinery. The importance of optimizing motor control for energy efficiency cannot be overstated, ...
