Electric vehicles (EVs) rely on two main types of motors for propulsion: AC induction motors and permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motors. Each technology has distinct operating principles and performance characteristics that influence vehicle efficiency, torque output, cost, and design decisions. Below we explore how each motor works, compare their performance metrics (efficiency, torque density, cost, maintenance, scalability), and provide guidance on choosing the right motor for an EV application.

At iNetic, we believe that electrification isn’t just about replacing diesel engines — it’s about rethinking how machines deliver power, control, and efficiency. That philosophy is at the heart of our latest project: integrating our fully integrated electro-hydraulic drive system — the iPA — into a Mobile Elevated Work Platform (MEWP). This initiative is part of a collaborative effort alongside our partners EV Parts and Quattro Group, bringing together advanced engineering, deep system knowledge, and real-world fleet expertise.

The path to electrification is no longer optional—it’s essential. But across industries, one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work. OEMs need electric powertrains that can flex with their platforms, scale with their production, and deliver performance without compromise. That’s where iNetic stands apart.

By introducing the rDA platform, iNetic is driving the next generation of high-efficiency electric propulsion solutions, helping to lower costs, increase range, and improve overall EV performance. This innovation aligns perfectly with the findings of the CODE Report, reinforcing that EVs are not only viable but also the most financially advantageous choice for the majority of drivers today.
