About SSRD

SSRD is a next-generation motor designed for passenger cars with integrated motors, power electronics and transmission to meet 2035 performance targets today. We designed our high performance SSRD to deliver market-leading performance in a cost-effective, lightweight and robust design.

It delivers sustainability for passenger cars by enabling a lower-cost electric powertrain system solution without the need for rare earth magnets or copper coils, making it fully recyclable.

Features

Ultra high-speed rotor design

Patented high-speed rotor design maximises torque density and achieves speeds of up to 30,000 rpm

Improved power density

Compressed aluminium windings replace traditional copper coils to improve power density and heat transfer capability with a reduced packing space

Reliable

Lightweight, robust design with high manufacturability and reliability

Wide speed range

Single speed, high reduction two-stage transmission gives a uniquely wide speed range

Technology

Applications

The great challenge for the passenger car market as it moves towards electrification is balancing performance with sustainability. SSRD is a flexible solution for a range of applications from passenger cars to aerospace that uniquely delivers both market-leading performance alongside greater sustainability, lower costs and a smaller footprint.

Options are also available for a dual-motor system and single-motor operation to extend the range of ultra-high efficiency across further applications.
