High torque density for compact automotive motor designs

Without high torque an electric vehicle can feel sluggish, despite the motor’s inherent ability to respond instantly. For engineers looking to achieve greater power output or generator current supply, whilst maintaining efficiency, our iCARe® Torque electrical steels have been created to support high torque density in compact electric vehicle motor designs. They have also been designed with driver experience in mind, where faster acceleration and ‘fun-to-drive’ are often indistinguishable.
