OEM-LED PRESENTATION

As the industry pursues cheaper, high efficiency e-motors, every area of the production process is being assessed to see where companies can cut costs. With the recent surge of new manufacturing processes and techniques that improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce the cost of manufacturing and the overall cost of the motor, it’s important for companies to know which strategies to implement to reach their goal of cheaper e-motors.

Join this presentation and learn OEM strategies for lowering e-motor costs and improving manufacturing efficiency:

Discuss manufacturing techniques and technologies that improve cycle times and lower manufacturing costs

Evaluate different areas in manufacturing that can be targeted for cost cutting

Assess the efficiency of new manufacturing techniques and technologies and the domino effect of implementing these on the overall cost of the motor

In the pursuit of greater efficiency and optimal motor performance, Exro Technologies introduces a significant paradigm shift – coil switching technology, poised to revolutionize the electric powertrain landscape. Embedded within our Coil Driver™ traction inverter product, coil switching enables two operating modes in a single electric motor. This significantly impacts the electric powertrain in three aspects: performance, efficiency and use of rare earth content.

Performance: Coil Driver increases the performance for a given electric motor or enables reaching the same performance with a smaller electric motor.

Efficiency: Coil Driver increases the efficiency which translates to longer range or smaller battery pack required for a given range.

Rare earth content: via use of electric gearing, Coil Driver enables use of rare earth free or magnet free electric motors to meet or exceed performance requirements.  

Network with your peers and colleagues in the e-motor industry during lunch before we come back for further discussion.

As the industry continues to pursue low cost, high efficiency motors, the right design strategies for these motors are

imperative for OEMs and Tier 1s looking to design motors.

This presentation will cover different e-motor design choices that can lower cost and produce higher efficiency:

Discuss which design strategies are proven to reduce e-motor cost

Assess strategies for reducing cost through design, manufacturing, and materials and how these areas interact

and affect the overall cost of the system

Learn how to prioritise efficiency in design for low-cost e-motors

UNDERSTAND WHAT IS NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THE SWEET SPOT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE

The sweet spot is the exact place where the system operates to attain best possible efficiency. However, achieving the

sweet spot depends on several factors including temperature, operating conditions, climatic conditions etc. Thermal

management is key to increasing or decreasing the temperature of components so that the battery finds itself in the

sweet spot as fast as possible.

Join this distinguished speaker as he/she takes us on a journey and shares real world experience on how to optimise all

variables including cost, efficiency, range, and performance, and find the sweet spot as quickly as possible.

Understand the reasoning behind the chosen methodology

The level of integration with other parts of the system, including overall vehicle-level thermal/ energy control

The extent to which leading edge technical solutions and AI played a role in achieving the best thermal management

Strategies and policies to attain system efficiency
