Technology | Oxford Yasa Motors
The 500Nm YASA™ motor has been developed specifically for electric and hybrid vehicles. The motors are compact (34cm in diameter and 7cm wide), and fit within the space of the front or rear differential of a typical vehicle (the differential is no longer required). The motors output 500Nm per 'slice', with a peak power of around 75kW. This means 2 motor slices are enough for most vehicles. Four slices may be used for sports car type performance, such as the Delta coupe, which aims for a 0-60 time of less than 5s.
