VOLTCAR advances a high-speed, circular traction motor for future EVs

VOLTCAR advances a high-speed, circular traction motor for future EVs The EU-funded VOLTCAR project develops next-generation electric traction motors with reduced rare earth depend-ence, 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 electromo-bility.
