Selecting a motor for a specific application can be a challenging task. Many factors must be considered, including the application’s required voltage, maximum current and diameter, speed, efficiency, ...

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 ...

To visualize a radial flux motor, think of two iron cylinders. One is fitted with magnets set around its outside and an axle running through its center (the rotor). Surrounding this cylinder is a ...

Mercedes-Benz provided a flight from DC to San Diego and a return from Los Angeles, plus four nights’ hotels so we could meet the Vision One-Eleven as well as drive a new Mercedes-AMG plug-in hybrid ...

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 rise of axial-flux motors. Motor theory versus practice. Scalability of axial- and radial-flux motors. The future motor split. Many technologies have played a role in the electric-vehicle (EV) ...

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. What are ...

Mercedes-Benz is developing a new sports car platform for high-performance AMG electric models. To do that, instead of creating horsepower and torque, the electric vehicle formula required a new level ...

The Blacksheep One turns exotic axial-flux EV tech and billet aluminum into rolling mechanical art. But is it really worth ...

I’m loath to engage in hyper-Ecar histrionics, but the two-seat electric-powered Mercedes-Benz One-Eleven concept vehicle revealed at the company’s Carlsbad design studio in Southern California is ...

Evolito has new financial backing to advance its plans for the electric aviation sector, where it believes the superior power density of its electric propulsion units will be transformative in ...

Koenigsegg has just revealed the details on its new electric motor. Called the Quark, it’s an entirely new design for automotive motors, packing 335 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque in an amazingly compact ...
