Learn more on the current journey to recyclable e-motors! Automotive IQ speaks with Dr Jill Miscandlon - Senior Manufacturing Engineer, National Manufacturing Institute Scotland, University of Strathclyde to find out where e-motor design strategists currently stand with recycling, and where it sits on the economy hierarchy. Jill discusses how we can ensure every part of the motor is optimally processed after its first life cycle.

Jill will be speaking at the 10th Annual International Conference Advanced E-Motor Technology 2023, Germany, February 21 - 23, 2023.

The industry is now at a stage where e-motor designs are efficient at a high level, with the next phase being to improve the e-motor, which requires the application of different manufacturing techniques. This involves evaluating manufacturing and the way it interplays with design and how this can help to optimise e-motors.

Automotive IQ spoke to Roberto J. Almeida e Silva, Head of R&D Automotive Drive Systems, on examining advanced manufacturing techniques and how they interplay with design.

Learn from Richard Burke, UK Engineering Director at Protean Electric, on the techniques Protean use to tailor the inverter to reduce noise in the e-motor. Noise Vibration Harshness can certainly be reduced, but it's easier said than done and can it be completely reduced to nothing? Get your copy of this exclusive interview to see how Richard references Star Wars to describe the noise of the e-motor. 

Richard will be presenting at the 10th Annual International Conference, Advanced E-Motor Technology 2023. 

Download your copy of this exclusive interview to learn how the industry is no longer viewing the e-motor in isolation and is considering it in relation to the rest of the drivetrain. Gabriel Domingues Olavarría, Senior Staff Engineer at BorgWarner extensively details the optimization of the complete powertrain, focusing on the challenges and solutions that are being found at BorgWarner, as well as explaining the changes to e-motors in recent years.
