Advanced e-Propulsion & EV Development Blossoms in UK with Fresh
Government Funding
The mushrooming treasury of the Advanced Propulsion Centre in
the UK is stimulating a flurry of e-powertrain and electric vehicle
development across the country. The funds are helping beneficiaries such as Saietta Group and Magnetic Systems Technology Ltd (Magtec) to ramp up production of their permanent magnet motors, while supporting London Electric Vehicle Company
(LEVC) efforts to scale to mass production of its electric taxis and
delivery vans.
cycles and close-in delivery vehicles with its AFT 140 model,
the company's basic design combines distributed windings and
a yokeless stator. Last March it was awarded a research grant
by the APC intended to fast-track the first stage of production
process planning by creating the capability to manufacture up
to 150,000 units per annum and initiate the recruitment of more
engineering staff.
These are just a few of the projects that have already received
funds. With a fresh pot of nearly £500 million just announced,
many more will be coming as the APC strives to foster a comprehensive ecosystem of technology providers, product developers
and manufacturing capabilities. Shown above is LEVC's recently
launched VN5 electric delivery van, now coming off the line at the
UK's only dedicated EV manufacturing plant.
Saietta's axial flux motors are designed to be scaleable from escooters to e-buses.
Saietta AFT 140
With help from the government funding to stimulate electric
vehicle manufacturing, Saietta Group, a UK-based engineering
firm that has developed a lightweight axial flux traction motor, is
making progress toward ramping up to limited series production
of its first commercial version. Targeting application in motor-

Saietta was formed in 2015 by the merger of the Indian-based
motor manufacturer Agni Motors and the electric motorcycle developer, Agility Global, following a long partnership between the
two companies. Its modular axial flux traction permanent magnet
motors are sealed, brushless, zero-maintenance motors that can
be scaled to high- and low-voltage applications from scooters to
buses. The company currently employs about 40 people in the
UK and 30 in India. It plans to sell its technology under license
in Asia and other parts of the world. It also provides powertrain
