2024 Agenda Sessions
The Electric Motor Value Chain and Technologies to Drive Performance
As the automotive industry continues on it’s path to a zero emission world, the electric motor supply chain is crucial. Alongside evolving supply chain dynamics, critical performance parameters such as power density and efficiency are essential to the wider electric vehicle system, particularly as the price of batteries is not falling as quickly as anticipated.
In this session we will explore the role of OEMs and suppliers in the market and emerging technologies they are using to achieve these performance gains.
- In-depth understanding of the entire eDrive unit value chain
- The impact of motor performance on the electric vehicle
- Technologies emerging to deliver performance
- Impact of material supply on the future of the electric motor
