Electrification continues to prove to be a major trend in the automotive sector, with vehicle manufacturers insisting on introducing cleaner technologies in order to reduce emissions.
According to a recent report by global professional services firm PwC, more than 55 percent of new cars sold could be electrified by 2030. The report states that the cars of the future will be electric, autonomous, shared, connected and updated annually, for what represents a new era of flexible mobility.
The trend toward electrification is not limited to the private car market. Construction and mining vehicles, city buses, and waste collection vehicles have all been developed with electric and hybrid powertrains as authorities tend to reduce pollution with the introduction of increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
However, technological progress does not happen overnight. The trend toward electrification should be considered an evolution, not a revolution, produced through the relentless refinement of the many on-board systems and components. Incremental advances enable the industry to produce greener vehicles without sacrificing, for example, performance and reliability.
High power density motor for traction applications
At Parker, our global teams of scientists and engineers are supporting these environmental efforts by designing and developing new systems capable of imparting speed to the electrification trend. For example, we recently expanded our range of permanent-magnet, high-power-density Global Vehicle Motor AC motors with the introduction of GVM310, which comes with a 310 mm square frame as standard. This new product is a traction solution for a wide range of on-road and off-road electric and hybrid vehicles.
Let us then look at some of the advantages that GVM310 brings to the market. First, when used in combination with Parker’s hydraulic pumps, the GVM range helps customers implement electrohydraulic pump solutions that enable the electrification of applications that were previously only hydraulic.
Superior performance motors for your electric or hybrid vehicles
A high-efficiency, energy-efficient engine helps the vehicle manufacturer meet stringent emerging energy regulations. It reduces CO2 emissions, is extremely quiet, and its high reliability means reduced maintenance and downtime for operators. Versions with peak power values ranging from 147 to 409 kW are available, with high power density; therefore, size and weight of complete solutions can be minimized facilitating design for the customer.
In addition to operating as a high-power motor, GVM310 can also operate as a generator, enabling effective battery management and ensuring longer duty cycles and energy savings of up to 30 percent compared with induction technologies. The availability of low-flow versions for high-speed applications or high-flow derivatives for high-torque applications enhances their versatility.
The GVM range also has a wide range of technical features that enhance its performance. These include a leaner lamination design capable of reducing leakage, a patented cooling system, and a clean, oil-free design.
The introduction of GVM310 is an example of how Parker is laying the foundation for electrification through the development of turnkey technologies that reduce not only time to market but also supply chain complexity. It does so by offering the industry an optimal solution for tomorrow’s hybrid and electric commercial vehicles, whether on-road or off-road.
