Raser Technologies exhibited and presented at the recent annual Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) Conference and Exposition in Orlando, Florida. As a member of the EDTA, Raser participated in this show because of the show's significance to hybrid and fuel cell car manufacturers. Raser exhibited its revolutionary AC pancake motor for HEV applications. Toyota, Ford, and GM presented four of their new hybrid models.

The revolutionary Symetron™ AC pancake motor for HEV applications.

Raser’s Symetron™ AC pancake motor can produce the torque of a permanent magnet motor without using costly PM materials. Symetron™ enhanced technology for AC induction motors can deliver a significant increase in performance for the same motor, or up to 30% smaller motor with the same performance.

“The combination of power and economy offered by Symetron™ technology are important factors for broad adaptation of hybrid technology in a wide range of vehicles from mild hybrids, to full hybrid cars, trucks and buses," said Timothy Fehr, Raser’s Chief Technology Officer. Mr. Fehr was a featured speaker and panelist on the topic From the Inside Out: Electric Drive Components. "We believe our technology also offers significant advantages for use in integrated starter alternators (ISAs) for military and commercial applications,” said Mr. Fehr.

Other representatives from some of the world's leading automotive manufacturers were present, including Honda, Daimler/Chrysler, Enova, and Ballard.
