InfiMotion highlights advanced electric drives at Paris Motor Show

At the 2026 Paris Motor Show, electric drive technology from InfiMotion is powering a diverse lineup of vehicles across multiple automotive brands, including the European debut of the Geely Monjaro EM-i, as well as the EX2, EX5, STARRAY EM-i, and models from Lynk & Co. Bridging high-volume Chinese manufacturing with European engineering, InfiMotion supports its hardware with a Gothenburg-based R&D center housing over 100 specialists focused on software, diagnostics, and control systems. The company anticipates manufacturing 3 million electric motors and 1.5 million complete electric drive units in 2026, positioning it as a critical Tier 1 supplier for global automakers transitioning to next-generation electric mobility.

Integrated 800V and 900V architectures
A centerpiece of InfiMotion’s technology portfolio is its 16-in-1 intelligent electric drive system. Co-developed with Geely Auto, this unit integrates 16 distinct powertrain functions into a single assembly. Utilizing an 800V architecture equipped with silicon carbide (SiC) power modules, the system recently helped the Geely TT achieve a Guinness World Record for low energy consumption, recording 8.20 kWh/100 km. Pushing voltage boundaries further, InfiMotion also detailed its TP501 900V architecture, a co-axial dual-motor system that employs a semi-solid die-cast magnesium alloy housing to reduce overall vehicle weight while enhancing thermal management.

Off-road traction and compact drive units
To address demanding dynamic applications, InfiMotion is advancing both high-torque and space-constrained motor designs. For off-road applications, the company's dual-motor drive—currently in series production for the Geely Galaxy Warship 700—delivers a peak power of 220 kW per motor. It features a specialized differential-lock function capable of routing up to 9,000 Nm of torque to a single wheel, allowing heavy vehicles to regain traction in severe off-road conditions. For more compact platforms, the P600 drive unit utilizes Mini-Pin winding technology and ultra-thin 0.2 mm silicon steel laminations to maximize efficiency, while deep oil-cooling technology ensures sustained performance under repeated high-load cycles.

Additional Context: Highly integrated e-drives and hairpin windings
This section details technical specifications and competitive benchmarking not included in the original product announcement.

In modern EV powertrain engineering, consolidating components into "16-in-1" or "X-in-1" drive units—which typically integrate the traction motor, inverter, reduction gear, onboard charger (OBC), DC-DC converter, power distribution unit, and thermal management modules into a single cast housing—drastically reduces the need for heavy high-voltage wiring harnesses and external coolant plumbing. This integration maximizes power density (kW/kg) and frees up critical chassis space for larger battery packs. Internally, the shift from traditional round-wire stator windings to rectangular "Mini-Pin" (hairpin) technology significantly increases the copper slot fill factor. This physical density lowers stator electrical resistance and thermal losses, while the use of 0.2 mm silicon steel laminations minimizes eddy current losses at high switching frequencies. When paired with wide-bandgap Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs in 800V and 900V inverters, these electro-mechanical optimizations are what enable the extreme single-digit energy efficiencies (kWh/100 km) now being recorded in flagship EVs.
