Research and Development for Future
Electric Vehicle Project
Kazuhiro Ohyama, Professor
Development of an electric vehicle with SR motors
SR motors do not use rare earth and is less expensive. In addition, they are robust. Our electric vehicle project is working on the development of an electrical vehicle with SR motors.
Sophisticated designing and control are required
SR motors are less expensive and robust. However, compared with permanent magnetic synchronous motors commercially used in hybrid vehicles, SR motors are inferior in terms of efficiency. Our target is to make SR motors as effective as magnetic synchronous motors by changing designs and control methods of SR motors.
