Saietta showcases in-wheel motor technology

The circular ‘pancake’ shape of Saietta’s AFT motors is an ideal fit to be placed fully in-wheel. Saietta’s lightweight and compact AFT electric motors are a good match when placed in-wheel for this relatively undemanding congested city centre usage. Located at the four corners of a platform, the AFT in-wheel electric motors provide excellent manoeuvrability, flexibility, modularity and four-wheel drive capability. Commenting on the in-wheel motor demonstration project, Wicher Kist, Chief Executive Officer at Saietta Group, said: “Saietta is all about high-tech, real-world, application-ready electric drive technology. “We are not intending to become a platform manufacturer and only developed a chassis to demonstrate the power of our in-wheel motor innovation.
