Electric Vehicle Technology
The World's Most Efficient, High-Tech Low-Cost Electric Motor for Class 8 Trucks
Class 8 trucks move 70% of America's freight — but electrification faces critical barriers
Aside from California's required 40% zero-emission by 2030, the rest of the country lacks mandates. There was a time when seat belts were not mandatory.
90%+ of rare-earth materials from China. Price volatility and geopolitical exposure.
While trucks account for a single digit fraction of all on road vehicles, they account for 60% of NOx and 55% of PM's. Diesel exhaust is a significant cancer risk. (CARB)
OEMs employ diesel mechanics and need to acquire electric motor technology knowledge. Tesla Semi uses 3 motors, Windrose uses 4 motors.
Progressive Electric Motor Technology — OEM Truck Manufacturers lack advanced induction motor knowledge
One motor. Zero rare earth metals. World-record performance.
Single motor delivers 10,500-15,000 Nm max (approx 7,400-11,000 ft lbs) — competitors need 3-4 motors to achieve.
Zero rare-earth metals. Aluminum instead of copper. 100% domestically-sourceable materials.
97.5kg motor delivering 1MW. 7.25+ kW/kg — world record for room-temperature motor.
Aerodynamic cab (Cd 0.26). 5-minute battery swap. 1,000+ mile range.
Highway Efficiency
Patented innovations that eliminate rare-earth metal dependency
Electronic gear shifting without mechanical gears. 2-6x frequency reduction at highway speeds.
→ Better highway efficiency than permanent magnet motors
Enables solid aluminum conductors instead of copper. Variable cross-section wet coil.
→ Lighter, cheaper, 100% domestic sourcing
Variable field control with synchronous modulation. Peak efficiency at all conditions.
→ Peak efficiency at partial loads and high RPM
Semi-evaporative coolant doubles as insulation. Simpler construction, extended motor life.
→ Simpler construction, extended motor life
