Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up to introduce what they call ...

GM is looking to Niron Magnetics to help it eliminate problematic rare earth materials from its permanent magnet EV motors. Niron's "Clean Earth" magnets are claimed to be the only rare-earth-free ...

Induction motors are environmentally friendly, cost-effective, but less efficient and noisier compared to permanent magnet motors.

As we’ve noted, rare earth materials aren’t particularly rare—they’re relatively abundant, but they’re highly dispersed, meaning that large volumes of material must be collected, from which the rare ...

A growing number of automakers and suppliers are working on electric vehicle (EV) motors that either do not contain rare earths or dramatically reduce the use of materials that are dominated by China.
