Yasa’s yokeless dual-rotor motor design with a threefold power-density gain, points toward lighter, more efficient drivetrains.

In the everything old is new again folder, [Lesics] has a good overview of axial flux motors. These are promising for electric vehicles, especially aircraft, since the motors should have high torque ...

Mercedes is betting big on axial flux electric motors for its future electric AMG performance vehicles — but don’t expect the tech to be limited to low-production products from Affalterbach. First, a ...

Tesla was first to patent a primitive axial-flux electric motor—Nikola Tesla, that is, way back in 1889. It would be 126 years before the concept found its way to a car, the 1,500-horsepower (1,103 ...

Compact axial-flux electric motors are poised to be the next big thing in EV propulsion. These devices are commonly called "pancake" motors because they are flat, thin, and circular, like a pancake or ...

Electric vehicles are heavy, but have you heard they’re fast, too? Automakers are barking up the wrong tree when it comes to what enthusiasts want. Lightweight electric roadsters and sports cars just ...

After nearly a decade in development, Belgian startup Magnax claims it has developed an ultra-high power, lightweight, compact axial flux electric motor with performance figures that blow away ...

Mercedes-Benz recently acquired British axial flux motor designer YASA. The company’s high-performance motor technology was on full display in the automaker’s new Vision One-Eleven electric vehicle ...

The market for high-efficiency motors (>IE4 or equivalent) continues to grow at a faster pace than the broader low voltage AC ...

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 ...
