Commercial Vehicles
With customers all over the world, our HDSRM products offer the most cost-effective, robust and sustainable solutions whatever your needs.
Easy to integrate
Operating with off-the-shelf power electronics while reducing system complexity for cooling and fail-safe control.
Efficient where it counts
A wider efficiency curve and modular design delivering the equivalent of cylinder deactivation means more miles per kWh.
Robust & reliable
implified geometry and manufacturing processes combine with purposeful design and rigorous testing to ensues a product build to last.
Plug & Play compatibility
Patented control hardware enables our motors to operate with standard off the shelf power electronic solutions from all major suppliers.
Patented Gear Design
Our patented gear design and manufacturing process deliver a lightweight, high strength and efficient transmission.
Modular Design
Modular design allowing up to three motors to operate in unison, combined with the ability to be truly ‘off’ enable our motors to deliver highly efficient systems with as much power as you need.
Both a Generator and Traction Machine
Able to act as both a generator and a traction machine, our common design offers system redundancy and common spares across the whole powertrain system.

Case Study
Sector Challenge
Since 1990, truck and lorry vehicle emissions have increased by 25%, at the current pace, logistics emissions are set to double by 2050. The commercial vehicle sector has significantly higher vehicle utilisation than passenger cars operating at peak performance for long duty cycles.
Solution
The HDSRM family is the culmination of six years of research to deliver a magnet free commercial vehicle traction motor. This key innovation means that HDSRM™ offers key advantages, including no permanent magnets, simplified system design and reduced manufacturing cost.
Advantages
Because permanent magnets are no longer required, the system level improvements continue to deliver real world benefits. When HDSRM is not being driven it is truly off, acting as a freely rotating mass which does not generate current or torque. Our patented multi-motor design allows one or more motors to be turned on or off depending on load enabling the system to be operated at peak efficiency across a much broader part of the vehicle drive cycle.
Partnership
Collaboration is at the heart of the development of HDSRM, driving and focusing its design and accelerating its route to market. The development process has seen the concept improved through partnerships coordinated by the AEM team. The final phase of commercialisation began in 2017 when AEM, in working with Tevva, developed a programme to deliver a highly efficient and cost effective complete commercial vehicle focused powertrain solution for both Electrified and Range Extended Commercial Vehicles.
Where we are today
Our first motor is now available to the market ‘off the shelf’ as HDSRM300 and is already creating interest in the Commercial Vehicle sector and beyond, with the current design being evaluated for applications in six different sectors across four continents.
We work with you
