Figure: Compact, powerful, and efficient: Valeo Axial Flux 2-in-1 generator delivers up to 50% size and weight reduction and 97% efficiency.
The new 2-in-1 generator seamlessly integrates the motor and inverter into a highly compact and scalable solution, making it ideal for all types of electric vehicles, particularly Extended Range Electric Vehicles. This collaboration leverages PanGood’s expertise in axial flux architecture and Valeo’s leadership in inverters, power electronics, and system integration.
Key Features and Benefits:
Compact and Lightweight: The Axial Flux Generator delivers up to 50% size and weight reduction compared to traditional systems, enabling more efficient packaging and integration.
High Efficiency: Achieving up to 97% efficiency in the main usage speed range, the system ensures optimized energy use during the driving cycle.
Simplified System: The direct drive between the internal combustion engine (ICE) and the generator eliminates the need for a reducer, offering a plug-and-play solution with the integrated inverter.
