Elaphe In-wheel electronic propulsion technology

At a Glance

In-wheel applications need high torque and power to mass ratios and with Elaphe™ motors we deliver just that.

We designed our innovative winding topology to achieve high filling factors and short end-winding, thus enhancing the efficiency.

Low weight, standard materials and simple construction of our motors provide a great starting point for cost reduction.

In-house developed analytical optimization tool enables fast development cycles.

…solves the unsprung mass problem and boosts the performance of the vehicle.

Elaphe™ in-wheel motor has been specially developed by our team of experts in physics and engineering, and makes use of innovative electromagnetic solutions to provide your vehicle with high torque and power, while remaining light and easy to produce.

 
 
 

Energy efficiency

…is a must have

Renewable energy as the prefered power source for our vehicles

Our Direct Drive technology eliminates transmission losses that can add up to 15 %, which combined with Elaphe™ in-wheel electric motor efficiency, gives up to 90% of available power to the wheels. Electric propulsion by itself produces no emissions, and together with improved efficiency reduces overall environmental impact of the vehicle.

…using in-wheel motors has more freedom to it.



In-wheel motors we develop, give the electric vehicle designers freedom to design a vehicle that the modern society needs. Direct drive technology has advantages over classic propulsion architectures, enabling a complete vehicle reinvention. More focus can now be put on:

As an alternative to in-wheel architecture other direct drive concepts, like near-wheel drive, are possible with our technology. All of these advantages make possible a wide variety of applications.

Development cycles

…are short and reliable, thanks to our in-house developed analytical optimization tool.

We use an integral approach, covering the vehicle specifications, driving cycles, working conditions and customer wishes, all integrated into one easy-to-use tool.
This fast and reliable software is unique to our electromagnetic topology, and makes time consuming numerical optimization redundant. However, final analytical results are double checked with numerical tools before the prototype phase, for final detail optimization.

Elaphe™ in-wheel motors give your vehicle an edge, wheather you seek performance, efficiency or flexibility. Power to the wheels!
