An electric motor that notably promises to eliminate rare earths.
A “next-gen” electric motor at Renault and Valeo
Renault, Valeo and Valeo Siemens eAutomotive are joining forces for the design, development and production of a new automotive electric motor. An engine that is more powerful, more energy efficient, and without the use of rare earths.
In fact, Renault will be responsible for developing and producing the EESM technology rotor (electrically excited synchronous motor), without rare earths, to improve energy efficiency. Valéo will develop the stator, with the aim of generating more power without the need to use more electrical energy.
“ Renault Group, Valeo and Valeo Siemens eAutomotive will thus be the first players to produce a 200 kW electric motor designed without rare earths on a large scale, starting in 2027. “, announce the two partners. The production of this new engine, for the automaker’s own needs, will be based at the Renault Group plant in Cléon in Normandy.
