Renault and its suppliers Valeo and Valeo Siemens eAutomotive have signed a letter of intent for a strategic collaboration in the development of a new generation of electric motors for electric vehicles. The machines are to be designed, developed and manufactured in France from 2027. The focus will be on sustainability by eliminating the use of rare-earth materials.
More power despite lower energy consumption
The engine is to be produced at Renault’s Cléon plant in Normandy. The partners intend to use their joint expertise for the production of an electric drive system that offers more power while consuming less energy than current systems. Renault will develop and produce the rotor technology for the synchronous motor and will be responsible for the overall architecture of the all-in-one motor for the Renault Group.
Higher copper density in the stator
The development and production of the stator will be carried out jointly by Valeo and Valeo Siemens eAutomotive. Valeo’s expertise in copper wire assembly enables a higher copper density in the stator and thus higher performance with the same energy consumption.
