ZF has developed an electric motor which does not require magnets. In contrast to the magnet-free concepts of so-called separately excited synchronous motors (SESM) already available today, ZF’s I2SM (In-Rotor Inductive-Excited Synchronous Motor) transmits the energy for the magnetic field via an inductive exciter inside the rotor shaft. This makes the motor uniquely compact with… Continue reading ZF develops magnet-free compact electric motor

The wanton controversiality of the buck-toothed 4 Series, outlandish iX and wilfully challenging i7 gave the impression that the firm was eschewing mass appeal entirely in pursuit of heightened appeal in the more lucrative luxury market, among demographics who value polarisation over panache.
