Sector challenge

Electrification of heavy-duty commercial vehicles is the next frontier in delivering sustainable manufacturing supply chains across the globe. Truck and lorry vehicle emissions have increased by 25% since 1990 in Europe alone. At the current pace, logistics emissions are set to double by 2050. Recent legislative changes will also put pressure on manufacturers to remove all fossil-fuelled engines within vehicles.

Solution

A suitable solution for the commercial vehicle sector must meet the demands of higher utilisation and reliability in the commercial sector. The HDRM motor is the culmination of years of research to deliver a magnet-free commercial vehicle traction motor.

HDRM delivers a simplified system design and reduced manufacturing costs without the use of permanent magnets. HDRM has the flexibility to operate beyond a motor traction machine as a solution that can meet multiple, wider challenges such as use in regenerative braking systems and trailer solutions.

HDRM 300

Advantages

As permanent magnets are no longer required, system level improvements deliver real world benefits. When HDRM is not being driven, it acts as a freely rotating mass that doesn’t generate current or torque.

Our multi-motor design allows motors to be switched on or off depending on load, enabling the system to operate at peak efficiency across a much broader part of the vehicle drive cycle.
