Electric Truck Motors Driving the Green Transformation of Commercial Transport
2026-01-09
Under the global push for carbon neutrality and sustainable mobility, electric trucks are rapidly emerging as the future of commercial transportation. At the core of this transformation, motors play a pivotal role in ensuring both performance and efficiency, while enabling greener and more reliable operations.
Unlike passenger vehicles, electric trucks demand motors that can withstand far more challenging conditions. They must deliver powerful and sustained output to handle heavy loads and long-distance operations, while ensuring reliability under extreme conditions such as high and low temperatures, continuous operation, and complex road environments. At the same time, motor efficiency directly affects driving range and operating costs, making high efficiency and low energy consumption critical development priorities.
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) have become the mainstream choice for electric trucks, thanks to their high power density, superior efficiency, and excellent speed regulation. Some manufacturers are further advancing integrated e-drive systems that combine motors and gearboxes, optimizing both power transmission efficiency and space utilization. In addition, the adoption of intelligent control systems and regenerative braking technologies extends driving range and reduces maintenance costs.
Industry experts highlight that as electric trucks gain wider adoption in urban logistics, long-haul transportation, and cold chain delivery, demand for high-performance motors will continue to rise. Motor manufacturers are expected to focus on innovations in thermal management, insulation materials, intelligent monitoring, and system integration, providing strong technical support for the commercial transport sector’s green transformation.
The rapid advancement of electric truck motors not only demonstrates significant progress in new energy technologies but also signals the beginning of a more efficient and eco-friendly era for global commercial transportation.

In-Depth Understanding of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) — The Preferred Choice for High-Efficiency Electric
2025-11-28
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) have become popular in high-performance applications, including new energy vehicles, electric forklifts, aerial work platforms, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and construction machinery. PMSM technology has superior performance on efficiency, torque density, and control performance, establishing it as a leader in modern electric drive systems.
1. Working principle
PMSMs work with rotor permanent magnets, and the rotor typically has embedded rare earth magnets (NdFeB). In this case, the stator generates a rotating magnetic field where the rotor is rotating synchronously with the frequency of the supply. PMSMs do not use induction rotor currents to encompass magnetic fields like induction motors, therefore losses associated with induction are not applicable.
2. Advantages
High efficiency: PMSMs do not lose energy by the induction process; therefore, the system efficiencies can be over 90% and ideally suited for battery-powered applications.
High power density: Torque is generated in a small footprint and is suited for applications where space is limited.
Excellent speed control: The PMSM typically has precise speed and torque control over its entire range. The PMSM is suitable for large variations in load and speed.
Low noise and vibration: It operates smoothly for user comfort in applications such as tourist shuttles or patrol cars .
Strong compatibility: The PMSM is compatible with more controllers (including advanced controller based on vector control or FOC) for an intelligent closed loop system.
3. Application Areas
Electric Vehicles: Electrical Sedans, buses, minibuses, trucks, etc are mainstream applications across this category.
Industrial Vehicles: Electric powered lifts including (Forklifts, stackers, scissors) where precise torque control in accordance with operational safety improvements.
AGV's and Automation: High precision and fast response enable logistics to be flexible and automated in smart factories .
Aerial work platforms: Stability and safety under dynamic loads help maintain lifting & operations efficacy.
Special Purpose Vehicles: (Electric sanitation trucks or patrol vehicles, and firefighting vehicles) that range an autonomous operational vehicle that is efficient and climate-friendly.
4. Future Trends
With continued advancements in control algorithms, magnets, and thermal management, PMSM technology is moving strong towards higher integration, intelligence, and durability through power electronics. Owing to the world's carbon neutrality agenda, PMSMs will further play a role in electric mobility and industrial automation.

Sources of Motor Noise and Control Strategies: From Structural Design to Operational Optimization
2025-11-25
Motor noise can affect much more than just the acoustic environment; they can also reveal design or manufacturer defects. Motor noise control is an important aspect of performance for noise-sensitive applications like medical equipment, household appliances, electric powered passenger vehicles, and sanitation vehicles.
The expected common sources of noise from motors are:
Electromagnetic noise: Is generated in small amounts when there are periodic changes in magnetic forces, and where variations in the air gap or imbalances in the magnetic fields are present; period tonal operations can produce whining sounds or vibrations.
Mechanical noise: Typically emanates from bearing tolerances, or imbalance in the rotor, or during misalignments during assembly, often more prevalent in larger size motors or faster speed motors.
Aerodynamic noise: Is a component of air cooled motors, the air stream is disrupted by fan blades.
Electrical switching noise: Audible frequency noise can occur in brush motors, or in systems operating as an inverter, that switching can typically be high pitched tones or mixtures of audible frequencies.
The methods we can apply to control the above noises are typically:
Structural Design Optimisation: This may include but is not limited to different slot shape, slot fill-factor improvements, and balancing tooth combinations of the stator-rotor combinations, for the purpose of reducing higher harmonics of the electromagnetic forces.
Machined and Balanced Rotor: Machining will allow for concentric rotors and minimizing bearing edge clearance tolerances will contribute to mechanical vibration, which may include testing through dynamic modelling.
Low nuisance noise bearings and elastic mounts that minimize shock transmission and has smaller path lengths for noise transmission.
PWM Modulation frequency tuning: when motors are equipped with inverter systems it may be possible to slip audible sized noise frequencies into the noise frequency ranges that are away from sensitivity ranges, away from human perception.
In higher end applications, for example, when an electric passenger vehicle motor is not only to be imposed to a NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) quality standard, the expectation from the customer is that the power train will operate below 60 dB since stationary and during the whole range of speeds during its performance cycle. Good quality and attention to detail will be required during the power train material selection, machining tolerances, and electronic control techniques for example.
As a company we have a long history of low noise motor design for both industrial and commercial applications. We can respond to our customers in terms of specialized designs for silent operation that have acoustic specifications, to improving products quality to the end user without polluting their experience with unexpected noise annoyance.
