Proterial and FEV Design EV Traction Motor Eliminating Heavy Rare Earths
Materials specialist Proterial and engineering firm FEV have successfully simulated a novel electric vehicle traction motor that functions without heavy rare earth elements. The concept combines amorphous alloy stator cores with heavy-rare-earth-free neodymium magnets to optimize efficiency and withstand high temperatures. The breakthrough aims to lower production costs and reduce automotive reliance on constrained rare earth mineral supply chains.
