As Peter Donaldson discusses on page 58 (PS), the change in the way people choose their vehicle has strong impact on the system design and production. This change is also key to motor production as volume grows, as highlighted by James Edwards, chief engineer at Helix with a scalable motor design on page 16 and our e-motor production technology insight on page 44, which explores innovative ways to reduce end-of-line test times to keep lowering production costs. The push toward smaller, more flexible motors is also driven by new topologies, particularly for the windings. The latest research into hairpin technology is discussed in the focus article on page 30. Innovations in the design and production of these hairpins are reducing the size and weight of the motors and enhancing the cooling to boost performance. All of these elements are part of convergence, driving smaller, lighter powertrains with semiconductors operating at ever-higher temperatures (see The Grid, page 6) to give buyers more choice and developers lower costs.
