Padmini VNA has entered into a commercial agreement with UK-based Saietta Group, which specialises in Axial Flux Technology (AFT) in electric motors. The two companies will jointly manufacture AFT motors in India to cater to the local EV market needs. Especially in two and three-wheelers. Facilitated by the UK Government’s Department of International Trade, according to Saietta sources, the arrangement to manufacture AFT motors locally is about combining the knowledge and experience of Saietta and the market experience and reach of Padmini VNA. Catering to a wide
range of auto manufacturers in India, Padmini VNA specialises in EGR valves, throttle bodies, vacuum modulation valves, pumps, solenoid valves, electronics and fuel system products among others.
The AFT motors are designed to deliver good power and torque at just 48V-120V, and are enabled by their liquid-cooled mechanism to ensure a superior continuous power output as compared to the air-cooled electric motors, especially in the hot and humid climate conditions.
