Design and Application of IPM Motor Technology for Hybrid Vehicles

The Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) motor is now the workhorse of modern hybrid electric vehicles in which reluctance and permanent magnet torques are utilized for maximum torque and highest efficiency.

In recent years, the public demand for highly efficient electric vehicles has led car manufacturers like Toyota to seek improved technologies to meet the challenges of an energy hungry world dealing with limited fossil fuel sources. Since launching the world’s first mass-produced hybrid vehicle in 1997, the Toyota Prius, the corporation has sold more than 1,000,000 hybrid vehicles – all of which use Dr. Rahman’s IPM motor drive.
