According to the latest report from overseas automotive media "electrek", Yasa, a motor company owned by Mercedes-Benz, has launched a new motor prototype.Increasing power output to 59kW (79 horsepower)/kg is expected to revolutionize the performance of electric vehicles. Unlike traditional radial motors, Yasa's design uses a thinner disc-type rotor, which can provide higher torque and power at the same mass.
This motor only weighs 12.7kg, but it can reach a peak power of 750kW in a short time, equivalent to 1020 horsepower, and can continuously output 350-400kW (475-543 horsepower).
If four in-wheel motors are combined, the theoretical power of the vehicle will be close to 4,000 horsepower, which not only exceeds the limits of existing electric vehicles, but even reaches the category of aviation-grade power.
This value is significantly higher than the power that a traditional single motor can output. More importantly, the weight of the entire machine has not increased much.
This record-breaking electric motor is not a concept model in a laboratory.Rather, it is a real working prototype that is currently undergoing power output on a test bench..
It uses scalable manufacturing technology and does not use any special materials. The company plans to apply these electric motors to next-generation models such as the AMG Super Sedan.
In order to match this powerful motor, YASA has also developed a new generation of dual inverters that weighs 15 kg, has a power of 1500kW and a power density of 100 kW/kg, far exceeding the industry benchmark of 50-70 kW/kg.
