Meanwhile, in November, the pot of government funds rose
dramatically with the new pledge of nearly £500 million to be
allocated over the next four years to accelerate the road to zero
emission vehicles. New motors using novel magnetic designs
and advanced manufacturing capabilities will likely continue to
be key elements of the effort.

P161 Traction Motor from Magtec

Another British motor
developer that has been a
participant in the APC programs is Magtec. Its P161
traction motor, designed for
use in delivery vehicle and
taxi applications. Available
with 40kW to 80kW output
power, it can be supplied
with transverse gearbox
and differential and is
suitable for front wheel
drive vehicles from 1.5 to
3.5 tonnes gross vehicle
weight.

Certainly not new to e-mobility engineering, the company,
formally known as Magnetic Systems Technology Ltd, designs
and manufactures electric drive systems and components for
a wide range of vehicle types including off-road multi-wheeled
and tracked military vehicles. Established in 1992, it is the
UK's largest supplier of hybrid and electric drive systems, the
company says. With a specialty of design and manufacture of
drive systems for commercial vehicles, at its base in Sheffield
the company designs and manufactures an extensive range of
high-performance permanent magnet traction motors, complete
e-powertrains and permanent magnet generator systems

The funding is helping LEVC develop manufacturing technologies for electric vehicles at its new advanced manufacturing
facility at Ansty, Coventry. Now into mass production of the company's newly launched delivery van, shown at top, as well as its
e-taxis, the plant is the only dedicated EV manufacturing facility
in the country.

Tape Wound Toroidal & Cut Cores
That Outperform
Transformer Laminations

Vehicle OEMs, too, have become beneficiaries of the APC
funding. A notable example is London Electric Vehicle Company
(LEVC) as it makes an impressive scale-up to mass production
of its e-taxis and e-delivery vans.
