"A new axial flux electric motor made by UK-based Yasa just set a new unofficial power density record, outperforming the previous record holderalso made by Yasaby an impressive 40%. The company's new, fully functional prototype was recently put to the test on a dynamometer, where it hit a staggering peak of 750 kilowatts (1,005 horsepower), all while weighing just 28 pounds (12.7 kilograms). That's an unprecedented power density of 59 kW/kg."
"Photo by: YASA By comparison, the previous record holder from Yasa weighed 28.8 lbs (13.1 kg) and achieved a peak power of 550 kW (737 hp), corresponding to a power density of 42 kW/kg. What's more, the new, more powerful and slimmer axial flux motor is almost eight times more potent than the rear electric motor fitted to the newly introduced Tesla Model Y Standard, which is rated at 200 kW (268 hp) in Europe."
Yasa developed an axial flux electric motor prototype that produces a peak 750 kW (1,005 hp) while weighing 12.7 kg, yielding a power density of 59 kW/kg. The prototype exceeds the previous Yasa record by 40% and surpasses the earlier motor's 550 kW and 13.1 kg (42 kW/kg). The motor delivers 350–400 kW continuous power and surpasses the Tesla Model Y Standard rear motor rating by nearly eight times. The design avoids exotic materials, is scalable for mass production, and represents a threefold performance density increase over leading radial flux motors.
