About Us
YASA Motors Limited is thriving young company based in Oxford, England who specialise in very high power and torque density axial flux motors. Trading since 2009, YASA Motors have already secured their first development and production contracts with major Automotive OEM's. The longer term goal is to supply multiple Automotive OEM's, Industrial, Aerospace and Marine businesses with the highest performance, lowest weight and smallest package electric motors on earth.
The YASA motor has a number of distinct advantages, including a very high specific torque (torque to weight ratio), a high efficiency (typically up to 95%) and the possibility for low cost manufacturing due to the very effective utilisation of the magnetic materials.
The YASA motor has been developed since 2005, and the company's first product, the YASA-750, has demonstrated the potential of the technology with a torque density of 30Nm/kg achieved (up to 40Nm/kg is possible). The motors have been installed in many different vehicle types with exceptional results for both track and road vehicles along with marine and industrial applications.
The company is committed to making its products suitable for high volume automotive use, and as such the YASA-750 has been put through a wide variety of automotive tests, including thermal endurance, salt spray and vibration tests equivalent to 150,000 miles. Further products are currently being developed with power densities of up to 10kW/kg being targeted.
