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 ...

Axial flux electric motor developer YASA announced it has achieved what it believes to be the highest power density for an electric motor ever, hailing the feat as an unofficial world record. If you ...

The basic principle of the axial-flux motor was developed by the British electric motor specialist YASA, which has been a ...

With the arrival of the AMG GT 4-door, Mercedes officially has its foot in the door for high-performance electric vehicles.

Electric motors may not look like much, as they’re mostly lumps of metal and wires, but the right one can transform how a n EV feels, just like the right set of boring-looking tires can. And Yasa’s ...

Less than two months after smashing its own (unofficial) record in power density with its proprietary axial flux motor, YASA has unveiled a real-world application of the technology as an in-wheel ...

YASA is on a tear to demonstrate its technical prowess in flat, compact axial flux motor technology. As we've seen repeatedly in the past, good things happen when the British e-machine specialist sets ...

BMW has a novel way to hold the magnets in place in an axial flux motor, with an eye toward efficiency and long-term durability. Being a central part of the motor core, rotor design is critical to ...

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 ...
