Electric motors are “all-rounders”, said Jörg Kerner, Head of Development - Electrical Drive. Unlike internal combustion engines, electric motors yield their maximum torque at extremely low rpms, practically from the starting position. The diameters of these motors are smaller than in the torque-optimized electric motors.
