YASA to develop two axial flux motor designs with less or no rare earth

YASA to develop two axial flux motor designs with less or no rare earth

🌍✨ YASA to develop two axial flux motor designs with less or no rare earth

Why we’re watching: YASA will develop two axial flux motor designs that reduce or eliminate rare-earth magnet content, under a UK government-funded program called Project Resilience.

The grant comes through the DRIVE35 Demonstrate competition, and the work will be delivered from YASA's UK engineering and development facilities. 💚

Heavy-rare-earth-free permanent-magnet designs are the route for high-performance battery-electric and hybrid vehicles, YASA says, and are intended to maintain power density without increasing motor mass or package size.
