APRIL 20239both globally as well as in India. Furthermore, the increase in demand for automotive electric motors due to increasing fuel prices and stringent regulations followed towards decreasing air pollution levels across the country is anticipated to drive the market growth. Also, the FAME II scheme - which is launched to drive increased adoption of Electric Vehicles in the country, is anticipated to be one of the major reasons boosting the demand for the electric motors in India. Other significant initiatives such as the Make in India program, with an aim of making India a global manufacturing hub, Smart City Mission, AMRUT, affordable housing are anticipated to promote the electric motor market growth in the future.Revision in the FAME (II) Policy Electric 2-wheeler makers on June 12th, 2021, termed as 'a phenomenal move' by the Indian government to raise the subsidy for such EVs by 50 percent under the Fame-II scheme. They stated that it will be a game-changer in the adoption of an eco-friendly vehicle. "The revision in the FAME (II) policy, increasing the subsidy by 50 percent per KWh is a phenomenal move. Sales of electric two-wheelers have grown despite the pandemic and with this additional subsidy, we expect electric two-wheeler sales to disrupt the market, and clock six million-plus units by 2025", Ather Energy Co-Founder & CEO Tarun Mehta said in a statement. "The government's continued support to drive adoption of EVs, with a keen focus on locally built electric two-wheelers will make India the manufacturing hub of EVs", he added. Tesla's New Electric MotorElon Reeve Musk, the Founder, Chief Operating Officer, and Engineer at SpaceX and Product architect of Tesla has provided information regarding the details of Tesla's new electric motor ­ the Plaid carbon wrapped motor. He has also teased the higher RPM version coming to the new Roadster. Elon explained about a brand-new battery pack without getting into the details of it and he unveiled Tesla's new Plaid carbon-wrapped motor. Elon talked about the new technology and provided some information regarding the same. He stated that this technology allows for smaller, but more powerful and efficient motors. In a new series of tweets yesterday, the CEO elaborated on that machine, "Fiber is wound over rotor at high tension load. The machine to do this was made by Tesla Automation. Carbon sleeve must put the copper rotor in compression or it loosens at low temp due to differential thermal expansion. Preload is also helpful for maintaining the precise gap to the stator", the Tesla CEO said. Elon also elaborated about the merits of the new motor, comparing its predecessors. "Main advantage of this is a much stronger EM field compared with a rotor that is held together by metal (usually high strength steel). Another advantage is that rotor can go to higher RPM, as carbon sleeve (mostly) stops copper rotor from expanding due to radial acceleration", Musk said. In short, this new carbon-wrapped rotor facilitates Tesla to take its new motors to a greater and higher performance level. Revolutionizing the Sustainability of Electric Motors Bentley Motors ­ a British manufacturer and marketer of luxury cars has recently made an announcement regarding a 3-year research study that is intended to revolutionize the sustainability of electric motors. Owing to Bentley's commitment to providing only hybrid/ EVs (electric vehicles) by 2026, the result is anticipated to set recycled rare-earth magnets that are implemented only in selected ancillary motors for the very first time. Titled `RaRE (Rare-earth Recycling for E-machines)' this study aims to develop further or build on work completed at the University of Birmingham. This is with regards to the devising methods to extract magnets from waste electronics. Moreover, this project is anticipated to scale up the process and repurpose the extracted magnetic material into new recyclable magnets, so that they can be made use within be spoke ancillary motors. Commenting on Bentley's research ambitions, Dr. Matthias Rabe, member of the board for engineering, Bentley Motors, said, "As we accelerate our journey to electrification, offering only hybrid or electric vehicles by 2026, and full electric by 2030, it is important that we focus on every aspect of vehicle sustainability, including sustainable method of sourcing materials & components."RaRE promises a step-change in electrical recyclability, providing a source of truly bespoke, low voltage motors for several different applications and we are confident the results will provide a basis for fully sustainable electric drives". Electric motors have created an impact in almost every aspect of today's modern living &are used in the process of almost all imaginable products which are manufactured in modern factories, these days
