Auto parts main Sona Comstar on Thursday stated it has partnered with US-based start-up C-Motive Technologies to develop electrostatic drive motors for electrical automobile purposes.The serial manufacturing of the electrostatic drive motors is predicted to start out in 2026, the corporate stated in a press release.
Under the partnership, Sona Comstar may also take part in C-Motive’s newest financing spherical, the corporate stated with out disclosing the main points.
C-Motive is a expertise start-up that’s utilizing electrostatic forces to construct a motor by a collection of multiplicative positive aspects in mechanical, electrical, and electrochemical improvements, Sona Comstar Group CTO Kiran M Deshmukh stated.
“With the development of technologically superior and commercially competitive products compared to the existing electromagnetic motors, there will be a large market opportunity in the fast-growing e-mobility market,” Deshmukh stated, including Sona Comstar would proceed to supply leading edge applied sciences and play a number one position in driving sooner adoption of electrical mobility in India and globally.
Commenting on the partnership, C-Motive Technologies, CEO Matthew MAROON stated, “we share Sona Comstar’s vision of the mobility markets of the future and believe that their technical capabilities, global reach, and high-quality manufacturing operations are an ideal match for C-Motive’s next-generation motor technology.”
Sona Comstar stated C-Motive’s electrostatic machine expertise might be scaled from a single kilowatt to tens of megawatts.
These machines might be designed for diverse functions: small, modular torque motors for stationary purposes to giant, rugged machines for e-mobility drivetrains and multi-megawatt turbines for wind generators.
“By limiting the use of copper and removing the need for permanent magnets, C-Motive’s technology can deliver a machine that is less price volatile and more efficient at the same time, reducing embodied carbon and carbon emissions along the way,” the assertion stated.
