Comparison, Induction Vs. PM Motors for EVs

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.

Revolutionising Aerial Work Platforms

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.

Redefining Electric Motor Design for Next-Generation Powertrains

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.

Gearbox Gradability: Ensuring Performance on Every Slope

Electric drive units (EDUs) must operate reliably across a wide range of road grades and duty cycles, especially in commercial and off-road applications. For the iNetic rDA gearbox, a critical factor in maintaining consistent performance across inclines and declines is gearbox oil gradability, the ability of the gearbox to maintain optimal lubrication regardless of vehicle pitch.

Driving the Future: Cost Savings with EVs and iNetic’s rDA Platform

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.

UK Road Tax Changes: What You Need to Know for April 2025

The UK government’s upcoming changes to vehicle excise duty (VED), set to begin in April 2025, are making waves among drivers, particularly electric vehicle (EV) owners. These revisions mark a pivotal moment in the nation’s transition to cleaner transportation, aiming to balance the tax system while addressing the growing number of EVs on the road. While the changes bring new costs for drivers, they also hint at a more sustainable and equitable future for all. Let’s dive into the details and explore the bigger picture.

What’s Behind the US Push for Electric Cars?

The United States has recently made headlines with its ambitious push for electric vehicles (EVs), signaling a transformative shift in the nation’s transportation and energy sectors. This move, while applauded by environmental advocates, has sparked debates over its economic, environmental, and societal implications. But what exactly is driving this agenda?

The Evolution of Marine Electrification

Marine electrification represents a pivotal shift towards sustainability in maritime operations, providing robust, eco-friendly alternatives to conventional fuel-powered engines. This technology not only enhances performance but also minimizes environmental impact, offering a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient boating experience. Explore how these advancements are reshaping the future of the marine industry.

The Future of Electric Vehicles

Imagine a world where your car runs silently, emits zero tailpipe emissions, and charges up as quickly as a coffee break. This future is closer than you think, thanks to the rapid advancements in electric vehicle (EV) technology.

Electric vehicles have come a long way in recent years. Initially dismissed as a niche market, they are now gaining significant traction and reshaping the automotive industry. However, the current state of the EV market is just the beginning of a larger, more sustainable revolution.
