U.K.-based YASA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz, has developed a whole new type of electric motor. YASA's axial flux motor (AFM), in its second iteration, is an electric motor that weighs ...

Less than two months after smashing its own (unofficial) record in power density with its proprietary axial flux motor, YASA has unveiled a real-world application of the technology as an in-wheel ...

What if a single innovation could redefine how we think about electric motors, making them not just marginally better but insanely efficient? Imagine an electric vehicle (EV) that accelerates with ...

I’m parked at the back of the grid on Mount Panorama, awaiting the race start, and there are cars ahead of me literally facing backwards. This is not going to go well. As you’d expect, pandemonium ...

The world of electric motor tech moves fast. Just months after YASA claimed an unofficial record for the most power-dense unit ever, the Mercedes-owned company specializing in axial-flux design motors ...

The axial flux electric motor pioneers at YASA are at it again. Just three months after sending tremors through the electric motor market with an unofficial world-record power density that absolutely ...

Electric motors may not look like much, as they’re mostly lumps of metal and wires, but the right one can transform how a n EV feels, just like the right set of boring-looking tires can. And Yasa’s ...

A research team has developed a molecular motor which consists of only 16 atoms and rotates reliably in one direction. It could allow energy harvesting at the atomic level. The special feature of the ...

Last month, Mercedes-AMG touted the potential of YASA’s axial-flux electric motors with its AMG GT XX Concept car, but it seems that EV's powerplant was just the tip of the iceberg. YASA has just ...

A new innovation in electric motor technology is set to redefine the future of transportation. German automotive parts manufacturer Mahle has unveiled a rare earth metal-free electric motor that uses ...

In today’s world, motors are ubiquitous, powering everything from household appliances to industrial machinery. The importance of optimizing motor control for energy efficiency cannot be overstated, ...
