The adoption of electric vehicles – BEVs, PHEVs and HEVs – is expected to increase in the mid to long term as the auto industry pursues carbon neutrality. Market demand for improved power efficiency is continuing to grow as a result, with motor generators, which play a critical role in extending driving range and improving the performance of electrified vehicles, increasingly required to operate at higher efficiency.
To meet these market needs, reducing power loss in motor generators is essential. Among various approaches, iron-based amorphous alloys – which can significantly reduce iron loss occurring in motor cores – are considered a promising material to realize high-efficiency motors.
In support of this, Denso has invested in Next Core Technologies (NCT) to co-develop advanced motor cores using amorphous alloy technology. The collaboration will combine NCT’s materials and processing expertise with Denso’s motor generator development capabilities, with the goal of enabling mass production of highly efficient motor cores for next-generation applications.
