Read moreBentley exploring path to sustainable and recyclable electric motors
Bentley is launching a three-year project to determine the best way towards developing electric motors that would be recyclable and much more sustainable than the current powertrains on the market.
This new study called RaRE (Rare-earth Recycling for E-machines) is in line with Bentley’s objective to only offer hybrid and electric vehicles by 2026. The project will explore the use of rare-earth magnets in selected ancillary motors for the first time.
“As we accelerate our journey to electrification, offering only hybrid or electric vehicles by 2026, and full electric by 2030, it is important that we focus on every aspect of vehicle sustainability, including sustainable methods of sourcing materials and components”, Dr Matthias Rabe, member of the Board of Engineering, Bentley Motors, said.
“RaRE promises a step-change in electrical recyclability, providing a source of truly bespoke, low voltage motors for a number of different applications and we are confident the results will provide a basis for fully sustainable electric drives.”
