Workshop Outcome Highlights: Shaping Motors for a Zero Carbon Economy. Accelerating Sustainability in Motors: Designing the Future of Zero Carbon Technology

This session will present the topline conclusions of the multi-faceted approach to sustainability in the motor industry discussed on the Workshop “Shaping Motors for a Zero Carbon Economy”.

It will cover the key regulatory developments shaping energy performance, the use of low-carbon materials in manufacturing, and strategies for extending motor life through repair and recycling. With contributions from motor manufacturers, suppliers the panel will debate the next steps toward achieving high-efficiency motors and a circular economy

  • EU Policy Context: Overview of Ecodesign regulation, Fit for 55, and critical raw materials assessment, and their implications for the motor sector.
  • Energy Performance: How ongoing regulation revisions may raise minimum efficiency requirements, and applications already demanding higher efficiency than current regulations.
  • Sustainable Manufacturing: The shift to low-carbon materials, supply chain sustainability, and the recycling of manufacturing scrap to reduce environmental impact.
  • End-of-Life & Circular Economy: Strategies to extend motor life through maintenance, repair, and innovative business models for recycling and reusing materials at the end-of-life phase.
