The company said that the HVH250 is an advanced electric motor/generator for electric and hybrid vehicles based on Remy’s patented High Voltage Hairpin (HVH) technology that provides improved motor performance and cooling effectiveness. Its torque and power density allows for improved fuel economy, increased range in all-electric drive mode and the potential for a smaller internal combustion engine in hybrid vehicles.
AMP will purchase standard Remy HVH250 components and design and develop their own motor housing and interface components to suit the needs of the specific vehicle being converted to electric.
Remy HVH electric motors have been designed to reduce customer development costs (tooling and non-recurring engineering) and the production costs associated with low-volume custom designs. This approach to product design is also improving speed to market and making it affordable to customers in the emerging hybrid and electric vehicle marketplace, the company said.
Steve Burns, president of AMP, said: “Remy’s HVH250 electric motor is simply the best on the market today, and is easily integrated into our drive train. Our customers demand the best of both worlds – the speed and performance of a true sports car and the environmental principles of an electric car. This strategic partnership is a direct reflection of our deep commitment to innovation and engineering.”
John Weber, CEO of Remy International, said: “Our business relationship with AMP is another example of the ease in which the Remy HVH electric motor technology can be integrated seamlessly across a wide array of vehicle and off-road applications. We are looking forward to working with AMP as they continue to grow their market share in the electrification of the automobile.”
