The Saietta Group, a manufacturer of axial flux technology (AFT) electric motors, has announced a partnership agreement with Padmini VNA, an Indian Tier 1 automotive supplier.

As part of the agreement, the duo is to develop new opportunities within the rapidly expanding electric two-wheel market in India. Padmini brings to the collaboration its vast customer base that consists of several Indian two-wheeler OEMs such as the Hero MotorCorp, TVS, Bajaj Auto and Royal Enfield.

With Saietta AFT electric motors providing low-cost, low-voltage performance and durable characteristics, they are a perfect candidate for the ever-increasing zero emissions motorbike and scooter market in India. The AFT powertrain is capable of delivering the power and torque required by 100cc+ two-wheelers at 48V to 120V.

With a liquid cooling system, the powertrain is able to output a higher continuous power when compared with air-cooled e-motors being operated in the country’s hot temperatures. The fully sealed nature of the AFT motor also means that with minimal maintenance, it is capable of withstanding a wide range of weather elements.

Within the two-wheel sector alone, 21 million units were sold in 2019, with further growth expected in coming years. Expansion of the sector is expected as the Indian government puts an increased focus on zero-emissions mobility in crowded cities, following a study that showed the country to have six of the 10 most polluted cities in the world, with New Delhi the most polluted capital city in the world.

Due to the flexibility and modularity of Saietta’s AFT motors, they are also able to be used as a sustainable mobility solution for three- and four-wheel transportation, including trucks and buses.
