Next Generation of E-Motors

This panel discussion will bring together e-motor experts from various companies who will share their views on the next generation of e-Motors, discuss industry trends and how new tools and approaches like numerical simulation and optimization contribute to the development of innovative and highly efficient electric powertrains.

With the fast move into vehicle electrification, automotive OEMs and traction motor suppliers are pushing the limits of electric machine design. Due to the increasing demand that comes with the trend towards e-mobility, e-motors must be more efficient and be brought to market faster and at less costs. Therefore, the best compromise between performance, manufacturability, and cost must be found for each electric drive.

Getting more power density and using less rare-earth magnets to decrease risks in the supply chain, increase sustainability and to reduce overall costs are only two of the typical challenges motor designers must face. Numerical approaches such as shape or topology optimization are becoming state of the art to address those challenges. New motor structures and manufacturing technologies incl. additive manufacturing or disruptive cooling concepts are also playing an increasingly important role in developing and building the next generation of e-motors.
