DENSO Corporation has announced an investment in Next Core Technologies, Inc. (NCT) to accelerate the development of next-generation motor cores using iron-based amorphous alloys for electric vehicles.
Advancing efficiency in electric vehicle motors
As adoption of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) continues to grow, improving motor efficiency has become critical for:
- Extending driving range
- Enhancing vehicle performance
- Supporting carbon neutrality goals
Motor generators (MGs), the core propulsion units in electrified vehicles, play a key role in achieving these objectives.
Amorphous alloys reduce energy losses
Iron-based amorphous alloys are emerging as a promising material for motor cores due to their ability to significantly reduce iron loss, a major source of energy inefficiency in motors.
Key advantages include:
