Please try againCompared to conventional radial flux designs, axial flux motors use less space, weigh less and deliver more power in a smaller package. Despite these advantages, manufacturing challenges have historically made axial flux motors more difficult and expensive to produce at scale, limiting broader adoption.Through Project SUPREME, Turntide will address these challenges by automating critical, labor-intensive production processes such as winding, tooling components and validating its products ready for volume manufacture. Turntide will also be registering and delivering breakthrough intellectual property at the early stages of this 18-month program extending through January 2028. Faster and more efficient manufacturing at scale will allow Turntide to better serve original equipment manufacturers across a wider range of applications and volumes globally.“Project SUPREME is an important step in scaling next-generation electric motor technology production in the U.K. for the global market,” said Steve Hornyak, CEO of Turntide Technologies. “By enabling high volume axial flux motor production through automation and overall cost reduction, we’re driving wider adoption of more efficient, lighter electric powertrains across automotive and industrial applications.”As part of the project, Turntide will expand the use of its Gateshead production and R&D campus while reestablishing a dedicated component and validation facility in Cramlington, Northumberland. The project will secure job growth within the North East England, while further enhancing workforce skills and development.About Turntide TechnologiesTurntide Technologies designs and manufactures best-in-class electric motors, power electronics, and energy storage for anything that moves.Turntide Technologies operates in North America, the U.K., and India and serves customers in global markets and industries including off highway automotive, commercial vehicles, rail, marine, light vehicles, and premium automotive.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.About the Advanced Propulsion Centre UKThe Advanced Propulsion Centre UK (APC) collaborates with the UK government, the automotive industry, and academia to facilitate driving research and investment in zero-emission vehicle manufacturing.
