Innovation From GEM Motors Sets New Milestones in Electric Drive

Online, August 23, 2013 (Newswire.com) - An innovative approach to technical design has resulted in the construction of a new integrated drive where the electric motor and controller are integrated within the drive wheel. It's a simple and economical solution of an electric drive, suitable for both two- and four-wheel electric vehicles and the company has already filed a patent claim for it. With a fully working prototypes GEM motors Ltd. is already looking for business partners that will help establish the new electric drive in the international market.

Today's solutions in the field of electric mobility are in high demand as they are becoming more practical for end users. Distinguished by high efficiency, electric motors and the vehicles in which they are installed are still most limited by the amount of available energy provided by the battery. GEM motors Ltd. has developed an in-wheel solution in which the controller itself is integrated in the electric motor and both of which are then fitted inside the drive wheel. Smart design has many advantages, the biggest of them being a simple construction with new modular and compact design of the motor enabling a cost-effective manufacturing. Such electric drive offers high power and torque figures besides high efficiency - the current electric motors from GEM motors Ltd. deliver from 4 to 15 kW of power with 30 kW being the next step and already in development. The efficiency of current GEM motors solutions surpasses the competing solutions in the field of electric motors by up to 20 per cent. In-wheel electric solutions are suitable for easy installation in virtually all two- and lighter four-wheel vehicles. The modular design allows for a quiet and safe operation of the electric motor even at low voltage, with built-in energy recovery when braking (regenerative braking) further increasing the range of such vehicle.

Goals of GEM motors Ltd. are to supply the market of electric vehicles with energy-efficient and eco-friendly electric drives which will prove very effective for the people that use them. Already developed products have huge market potential as innovative design allows for rapid development of various in-wheel motors for both two-wheel vehicles (scooters, mopeds, motorcycles) as well as the four-wheeled vehicles (light and small urban vehicles). GEM motors Ltd. plans to gain around 5 per cent market share in the global market of electric vehicles and 10 per cent market share in the market of electric two-wheelers in the next five years. This way the company would realize its potential and achieve an annual turnover of around billion euros.
