ZF presents new e-drives for passenger cars and commercial vehicles

Green Car Congress

A new cooling concept and a new winding technology play the decisive role here. Due to the new cooling concept, ZF allows oil to flow directly around the copper rods—exactly at the point where most heat is generated during operation. E-Motor Stator with new braided winding. Integrated differential gear.

Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV makes its debut along with AMG version

Green Car Congress

The magnets—and thus the rotor—follow the rotating alternating current field in the stator windings. In the EQE SUV, Mercedes-Benz uses a pull-in winding for a particularly strong magnetic field. The motor on the rear axle is very powerful due to the six-phase design: it has two windings with three phases each.

ARPA-E releases $10M for 6 projects developing electrical systems for fully-electric aviation applications

Green Car Congress

The proposed 10 MW cable system is expected to achieve ten times greater power density than conventional technology without degradation by partial discharge and is fire safe and oil resistant. Under normal operation, the SMCI conducts a DC load current through a high-temperature superconducting winding of a pulse transformer.
