TOREV'S AXIAL FLUX MOTOR IS SMALLER, LIGHTER & CHEAPER – AUTOLINE EXCLUSIVES

EV Channels Review

This Autoline Exclusives segment introduces Torev, a startup revolutionizing electric motors with their "double axial flux" pancake design. The core innovation lies in maximizing conductor volume over permanent magnets, significantly reducing reliance on rare earth metals and mitigating supply chain issues. This approach yields motors that are approximately one-third the size and weight of traditional radial flux motors for equivalent power output, while also offering higher torque. Torev claims their motors can achieve cost parity with standard motors and are 20-25% cheaper than existing axial flux designs. The company has secured significant funding and is developing a 150kW flagship product, aiming for production within 12 months. The interview highlights the company's impressive traction, including interest from major automakers and a win at the GAMIC awards, positioning Torev as a key innovator in the EV powertrain space.
