Volektra, a leader in innovative electric motor technology, has announced a strategic partnership with Jendamark, a precision manufacturing company, to scale production of magnet-free electric motors. This collaboration aims to accelerate the development and commercial availability of sustainable electric vehicle (EV) motors.
The partnership focuses on Volektra’s proprietary magnet-free motor design, which eliminates the need for rare-earth magnets commonly used in traditional EV motors. This technology offers benefits including reduced reliance on scarce materials, lower costs, and improved supply chain stability.
Jendamark will contribute its expertise in advanced manufacturing processes to enable large-scale production of the motors. The company’s precision engineering capabilities are expected to help optimize efficiency and quality during the manufacturing phase.
Both companies highlighted the environmental advantages of the magnet-free motors. By removing rare-earth magnets, the motors reduce environmental impact related to mining and processing these materials, aligning with global efforts to produce greener vehicles.
The collaboration also seeks to support automakers in meeting growing demand for electric vehicles worldwide. With supply chain challenges affecting the availability of key components, Volektra and Jendamark’s partnership could provide a critical solution for the EV industry.
The companies plan to begin scaling up production later this year and anticipate their magnet-free motors will be ready for integration into commercial EV models soon. They emphasized that this partnership represents a significant step toward sustainable, cost-effective electric mobility.
