Yasa’s yokeless dual-rotor motor design with a threefold power-density gain, points toward lighter, more efficient drivetrains.

Mercedes is betting big on axial flux electric motors for its future electric AMG performance vehicles — but don’t expect the tech to be limited to low-production products from Affalterbach. First, a ...

An axial flux electric motor from Yasa set a new unofficial power density record. The working prototype weighs just 28 pounds but makes more power than two Tesla Model 3 Performance EVs combined. The ...

Comparing the axial-flux motor with the radial-flux motor for EVs. Advantages of the "yokeless" axial-flux motor. Details of the YASA axial-flux motor topology. If you find yourself wondering about an ...

Tesla was first to patent a primitive axial-flux electric motor—Nikola Tesla, that is, way back in 1889. It would be 126 years before the concept found its way to a car, the 1,500-horsepower (1,103 ...

Lamborghini has once again pushed the boundaries of automotive innovation with the Tamario, a hybrid supercar that integrates three innovative axial flux motors developed by Yasa. These motors, ...

Mercedes-Benz recently acquired British axial flux motor designer YASA. The company’s high-performance motor technology was on full display in the automaker’s new Vision One-Eleven electric vehicle ...

Electric vehicles are heavy, but have you heard they’re fast, too? Automakers are barking up the wrong tree when it comes to what enthusiasts want. Lightweight electric roadsters and sports cars just ...

To visualize a radial flux motor, think of two iron cylinders. One is fitted with magnets set around its outside and an axle running through its center (the rotor). Surrounding this cylinder is a ...

Electric motors are the beating heart of any electric vehicle, and thanks to a startup in Belgium, your next EV’s motor could be stronger, smaller and more efficient. Magnax is hard at work developing ...

Last year YASA, a British electric motor startup with a revolutionary “axial-flux” motor, was acquired by Mercedes-Benz to develop ultra-high-performance electric motors for Mercedes’s AMG.EA electric ...
