Alumotor’s synchronous reluctance motor, free from rare earth metals, uses aluminum hairpin windings and is oil-cooled, generating 214kW with over 92% efficiency.

The Element transmission range is designed to reduce time and cost of product development for high-performance and specialised platforms across various sectors.

Ricardo is announcing a project to revolutionise long-distance heavy transport, with the aim of creating zero-emission, flexible vehicle platforms.

Leveraging Ricardo’s 100 year track record in engine development, the hydrogen engine could provide cost-effective, clean, trusted technology to decarbonise heavy duty vehicles which currently contribute a quarter of all on-highway transportation CO2 emissions across the European Union.

Ricardo is once again sponsoring the ATZ Live heavy-duty, on- and off highway engines event on 10-11 November – to be held online this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic – and will present papers on a range of technology themes of affecting the next generation of more efficient and less polluting heavy-duty vehicles.
