/0 Comments/in /by

Our project partner Ideas & Motion has communicated a great step ahead, have a read as follows:

Reaching a key milestone in the EM-TECH project! 💪At Ideas & Motion, we are ready to share a major achievement in the development of next-generation e-mobility solutions. As part of the EM-TECH project, we have successfully completed a crucial phase: testing control algorithms and fine-tuning parameters using the baseline samples of the TRAXIAL axial flux motor and the Ideas & Motion DDM400V640A1 inverter.We will now hand over our results to the University of Surrey, where the next phase of testing on the complete driveline will take place. Each step brings us closer to a future of more efficient, reliable and sustainable electric propulsion systems. A big thank you to our team and project partners for their collaboration and commitment!

We can only agree and thank all project participants involved!

/in , /by

In case you missed this year RTR2025 – the conference organizers got you covered. Please find here the recording of the session 8 “Innovative components for more efficient EVs”, where Martin Weinzerl, AVL has presented EM-TECH. This session also gives you an overview on the sister projects

MAXIMA – Modular AXIal flux Motor for Automotive
HEFT – Novel concept of a low cost, high power density and highly efficient recyclable motor for next generation mass produced electric vehicles
VOLTCAR – Design, manufacturing, and validation of ecocycle electric traction motor
CliMAFlux – Circular design and manufacturing techniques for next generation highly-efficient integrated axial flux motor drives for electric vehicles

Thanks a lot to all organizers, the moderators Joao Carrilho Miranda (CINEA) and Damian Backes (ika RWTH-Aachen) for the great exchange.

We’re kindly inviting you to further explore this edition and to further participate to our RTR presentation on February 12 (all details in the newsletter).

EM-TECH @ ECO Mobility 2024

/in /by


In November 20204, the “19th A3PS – Austrian Association for Advanced Propulsion Systems Conference Eco-Mobility 20204 – Sustainable Energy Carriers and Innovative Propulsion Systems in a Circular Economy” took place in Vienna.

Alejandro Robles Martin from UrbanGold and METTOP GmbH presented the approach for a new end-of-life scenario for in-wheel motors; based on the following key considerations:

🔹 Urge for a directly applicable solution
🔹Lack of standardization
🔹Challenges in the non-destructive extraction
🔹Reduction in rare earths content
🔹Expansion of the primary production industry
