Exro Technologies Ready for Electric Cars with Engineering Validation

Exro Technologies Inc. has successfully achieved the engineering validation on the 100 Volt Coil Driver for electric cars.

FREMONT, CA: Exro Technologies Inc. is a prominent clean technology organization that has developed a new class of power electronics for electric motors and powertrains. The company is pleased to announce that it has accomplished the engineering validation on the 100 Volt Coil Driver for electric cars.

Validation of the 100V Coil Driver engineering technology is a crucial milestone for Exro for delivering commercial products in the rapidly increasing electric car markets. Moreover, the 100V Coil Driver will provide next-generation performance in power and efficiency to mobility applications with electric powertrains.

The testing has established that the series to parallel algorithms driving the dynamic switching under load is operating as estimated. The Exro is on schedule to provide a prototype to Potencia Industrial, S.A. DE C.V. ("Potencia") and increase its performance in operating applications. However, Potencia is one of Mexico's largest motor manufacturers that has more than fifty years of experience specializing in custom applications such as the new Pronto Power electric powertrain. With over one million miles traveled, Pronto Power is at the top of the transition of electric fleet vehicles in Latin America.

"I am extremely pleased with the speed-torque results from our bench tests," said Eric Hustedt, Chief Engineer of Exro. "I have no concerns over the operations of the drive moving forward. The hardware is more than able to support the dynamic switching under loads, and demonstration of these algorithms in the drive is a major breakthrough."

"We are excited about moving forward in delivering our technology into operating applications," commented Sue Ozdemir, Chief Executive Officer of Exro. "This validation represents all the hard work our engineering team has put in to take our patented technology from simulations to dyno bay testing, taking us another step closer to positioning ourselves as technology leaders in the transition to electric vehicles."

Exro is a clean tech company that has generated a new class of control technology for electric powertrains.  The company's innovative motor control technology, the "Coil Driver," expands the abilities of electric motors and powertrains. The Coil Driver allows two separate torque profiles within a given motor. The first is regulated for low speed and high torque, and the second offers expanded operation at high speed. The capability to change configuration allows increasing efficiency for every operating mode, which decreases energy consumption.
