BOSTON—More and more electric traction motors are being integrated with the inverter and transmission, while new technology concepts, such as axial flux and switched reluctance are being explored, according to a new report from Strategy Analytics Inc.
"As automakers adjust their businesses to become all-electric, they are increasingly looking into integrating their motors with other components to form e-axles to raise production efficiency and lower production cost, which enables them to use new flexible and modular vehicle platforms,” says Kevin Mak, principal analyst in the global automotive practice at Strategy Analytics.
