Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM), part of Anglian Omega Group of companies, on Thursday announced its partnership with the Israeli start-up, EVR Motors, to manufacture electric motors in India.
The JV will work together to build a new lightweight, compact Trapezoidal Stator Radial Flux (TSRF) motor that can be used in a range of vehicles. Further, the motor will also be used in OSM’s current and future electric vehicles, a release from OSM said.
According to the press release, the new electric motor by EVR Motors will be manufactured by OSM at its facility in Faridabad and in Pune at its group company, Omega Bright Steel and Components’ facility.
The new motor is less than half the size of conventional motors. It is also significantly lighter than conventional Radial Flux Permanent Magnet (RFPM) motors with similar power output. With the new patented TSRF motor, OSM’s range of electric vehicles will benefit from improved power and uniform torque delivery while reducing production costs, the company said.
Further, this motor can be modified to fit in most mobility and industrial applications, ranging from two-wheelers, three-wheelers and to even buses and trucks, the company added.
Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman, Omega Seiki Mobility, said that the alliance will allow the company to add value in integrating its products, making them more efficient and cost-effective using EVR’s efficient yet compact motors. “We hope to have long and fruitful relations with EVR Motors to take on emerging transportation technologies which are clean and green post-gasoline age,” he added.
Opher Doron, CEO, EVR Motors, said, “EVR believes that reducing the cost, size and weight of electric motors will accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles and contribute to a healthier and more sustainable world.
