Webinar: Why axial flux motors are powering the hybrid shift

This transformation is occurring globally, and axial flux technology is the answer. Across on-highway, off-highway, marine, and industrial equipment sectors, the path to decarbonization is rarely linear. Real-world duty cycles, infrastructure limitations, cost pressures, and regulatory diversity mean that a single powertrain solution cannot meet every operational need. Hybrid systems have emerged not as an… Read more »

Arteco expands low-conductivity coolant options for EV indirect cooling systems

Arteco has added two patented coolants to its Freecor EV Milli range—Freecor EV Milli 20 (Si-OAT) and Freecor EV Milli 30 (P-OAT)—completing a three-product lineup of low-electrical-conductivity (LECC) formulations for indirect cooling systems in battery electric vehicles. The existing Freecor® EV Milli 10 uses standard OAT technology; the two additions bring silicate-OAT and phosphate-OAT variants…. Read more »

Investor groups press freight industry to reduce fleet emissions

The ongoing process of transport electrification sometimes resembles a tug of war: forward-looking companies, environmental and consumer advocates, and (sometimes) government agencies pressure industries to electrify, while automakers, freight haulers and their trade groups pull in the other direction, trying to preserve the fossil fuel-dependent status quo as long as possible. Arguably, the only pressure… Read more »
