FLASH has strengthened its electric vehicle [EV] competencies and portfolio with a new technological collaboration with GEM motors, specialising in developing high-tech electric motors for electric vehicles. Under this new partnership, both brands will manufacture hub motors for various EV segments in the range of 1 kW to 15 kW. With the flexible and modular motor design, FLASH can provide motors with customization in a faster turnaround time, which is best suited for customers’ requirements and pressing project deadlines. FLASH will also get access to 20 global patents of GEM Motors and will also become a global manufacturing hub.
Speaking on the technological collaboration, Sanjeev Vasdev, Managing Director, FLASH, said: “We look forward to manufacturing GEM motors’ patented, modular multiphase motor technology in India and catering to EV OEMs across the world. The partnership will accelerate the shift to sustainable mobility with innovation-driven differentiation for our customer’s mobility requirements. In addition to being highly strategic and exclusive for the Indian market, this partnership aligns with our commitment to being a one-stop solution provider for EV motors globally.”
FLASH has been successfully collaborating with leading international players to become the first company in India to have an extensive and robust range from 1 kW to 540 kW, catering to a comprehensive range of electric segments – a smaller electric two-wheeler to a larger electric bus. This technological collaboration is the second international partnership, with leading global players, in three months. These strategic partnerships will allow the transfer of advanced technologies, proficiencies, and access to newer markets to bring major cost savings for the company’s esteemed customers.
GEM motors’ modular multiphase motor technology integrates all components of an electric drive system into a compact solution and simplifies the electrification of vehicles, while minimizing their weight and transmission costs, thereby being cost-effective. The portfolio boasts advanced features such as enhanced safety and reliability, modular design that increases redundancy, and a fully integrated in-wheel drive that significantly shrinks the weight and maximizes the efficiency of the overall drive system.
Simon Madelj, PhD, CEO, GEM motors, said: “Our solutions are innovative designs with a low number of parts which effectively optimize the space to drive simplicity and superior performance. We are delighted to have a strong partner like FLASH and their strong focus on production and quality in manufacturing will enable us to reach newer heights in the global market.”
