VOLTCAR: reinventing the electric motor for a sustainable future

VOLTCAR: reinventing the electric motor for a sustainable future The EU-funded VOLTCAR project develops next-generation electric traction motors with reduced rare earth dependence, high power density and improved energy efficiency. Using advanced ecodesign, life cycle analyses, digital twins and X-in-the-loop testing, VOLTCAR creates recyclable, cost-efficient 50 kW and 120 kW prototypes. The project strengthens Europe’s automotive competitiveness, fosters sustainability and advances circular, low-carbon electromobility.
