Electric Vehicle Technology
The World's Most Efficient High-Tech, Low Cost Electric Motor
Class 8 trucks move 70% of America's freight — but electrification faces critical barriers
EPA's toughest emission standards ever. California requires 40% zero-emission sales by 2030.
90%+ of rare-earth materials from China. Price volatility and geopolitical exposure.
Competitors use car motors not designed for heavy-duty. Requires 3+ motors, complex gearing.
OEMs adapt passenger car tech for freight trucks. Tesla Semi uses 3 Model S motors. Others use 2-4 adapted motors.
One motor. Zero rare earths. World-record performance.
Single motor delivers 12,500-15,000 Nm — what competitors need 3 motors to achieve.
Zero rare-earths. 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 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
Exceeds DoE Vehicle Technology Office initiative to eliminate permanent magnets
