90%

of electric vehicles today have permanent magnet (PM) motors.

The Problem

PM motors are problematic because there’s a supply shortage of Rare Earth Elements (REE). That’s why the industry is moving toward RE-free motors.

More For Less

Dynamic Motor Drive (DMD) removes reliance on REE and gives you more efficiency at a lower cost.

When torque requests are low, DMD pulses the magnetic field at optimal efficiency. A conventional motor running continuously can’t deliver as much efficiency.

With the move to electrification, RE magnet dependence, range anxiety and battery costs are still looming issues. DMD provides an affordable software efficiency solution, free from the environmental and cost impacts of RE metals.

What Makes DMD Different

Software Solution
Scalable, transparent, and straight forward integration
Affordable Efficiency
High efficiency solution at a lower cost than alternatives
Sustainable Solution
Accelerates transition to environmentally friendly RE-free motors

DMD Reduces System Losses

DMD makes systems more efficient by reducing core and inverter switching losses. Results? 25% reduction in energy loss.

Software Solution Boosts EV’s Evolution

DMD is a software solution that improves Externally Excited Synchromous Motors (EESMs) and other RE-free motors. DMD software completes existing systems, making EESMs as efficient at low speeds as they are at high speeds. Now you can get efficiency without RE.
