Beyond the Drivetrain: Motor Innovation in Electrified Off-Highway Machinery

Electrification of compact off-highway machinery is accelerating, but OEMs continue to face constraints around efficiency, packaging, and total system cost.

This keynote explores how motor technology has become a critical system driver in electric work functions. It compares traditional AC induction motors with Synchronous Reluctance Assisted Permanent Magnet (SRPM) technology, highlighting how SRPM enables higher efficiency, greater torque density, and improved machine integration in next-generation equipment.

  • Why AC induction motors are increasingly limiting electrified off-highway system performance
  • How SRPM motor architecture improves efficiency, torque density, and thermal behavior at system level
  • The impact of motor choice on battery sizing, machine runtime, and hydraulic performance
  • Practical validation of SRPM benefits using a compact off-highway application exampl
