Electric motor company YASA enters innovation agreement with global automotive manufacturer for hybrids and EVs

Green Car Congress

Compared to the complex, multiple slot windings of conventional motors, YASA motor’s segmented armature lends itself to low cost, serial production. YASA’s axial flux approach uses less materials such as copper, iron and permanent magnet than conventional motors, resulting in a significantly lower materials cost. Earlier post.).
