Nissan’s EV Motor Development Strategy and History: Vison of Motor Development Strengthening with JMAG.
Mr. Shunji Oki,
Deputy General Manager, EV and HEV Component Engineering Dep. Motor Engineering Group,
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.

This presentation will introduce Nissan’s EV strategy with technology trends and market conditions. It will also cover the “Nissan Intelligent Mobility” initiative whose objective is the realization of a safe and sustainable society for people around the world.
As an example of this, we will report on the NOTE e-POWER that was released in November last year, and the future direction that motor development for vehicles will take.
Additionally, we will showcase the history of NISSAN’s motor development for electrified vehicles, the role JMAG has played in it, and our hopes for the future.

Current Challenges and Future Solutions in Traction Motor Design for EVs
Mr. Bernd Cebulski,
Team Manager, Advance Development,
IAV GmbH

Electric Drives have been around more than 120 years and they are now the workhorses in industry consuming almost 40% of all worldwide electrical energy. However, their use as automotive traction drive in high volume production is still new and puts some additional demands to performance figures and package. Due to limited space and difficult environmental conditions there is room for improvements and new ideas. Moreover, industrialization together with the high number of produced parts requires highly automatized manufacturing and therefore influences the electrical and mechanical design.
The market nowadays shows a variety of solutions depending on manufacturer and their specific approach of solving the integration problems into automotive system environment. Finite element simulation is one of the key factors in predicting performance and optimization of the numerous parameter combinations and find suitable design solutions.
