Nidec Corporation

Nidec ASI New Project in Northern Ireland

Nidec ASI, part of the Energy & Infrastructure Division of the Nidec Group, continues to grow in Europe, this time providing Battery Energy Storage System solutions for a major project in Northern Ireland, UK. This plant meets new global environmental and energy needs and the growing demand for renewable energy sources which, thanks to energy storage solutions, can become even more widespread, thus contributing to, and accelerating, the energy transition from fossil fuels to solar, wind and hydro power.

Nidec — A Wide Range of Gearboxes for Automation

Founded in 1973, Nidec are a Japanese manufacturer famous for their electric motors. The annual revenue of this corporation was US$15.21 billion in 2021. At Automatica 2022, Nidec demonstrated a wide range of gearboxes for different applications

Motiv Power Systems: Electric Trucks

Motive Power Systems are a manufacturer of all-electric chassis for medium duty (Class 3 through 6) commercial vehicles.

Being a Motor Manufacturer in a Materials Crisis

The past two years have been extremely turbulent for many industries with production lines shutting down, chip shortages, and a host of general supply chain issues. Amongst the dismay, electric vehicles (EVs) have been a shining light. In 2021, sales of EVs globally grew by around 80% over 2020 which in turn was a growth of 44% over 2019.

Nidec Japan

Nidec is one of the world's largest motor manufacturers run tightly for cash and gaining advanced technology mainly by acquisition.

Nidec ASI Supplying Battery Energy Storage System Worth $30.5 Million

Nidec ASI, the Nidec Industrial Solutions platform belonging to the Nidec Group, has supplied battery energy storage systems for a new important US project.

Nidec ASI Growing in Northern Europe

Nidec ASI is growing in Northern Europe and is supplying battery energy storage solutions for three major projects in Finland and Sweden.

Expanding the use of Large-Scale Storage Systems

Nidec ASI was chosen by the French public electricity transmission system operator, RTE, to realize a full-scale experiment in which an electricity storage system is used to optimize management of energy flows on the transmission grid, in Vingeanne, in the Côte-d'Or department.

Omron

Omron offer lidar modules. In 2017, Omron reported the development of a short-range 3D lidar, which can be embedded around a vehicle.

Actronika

IDTechEx spoke to Thomas Farnoux, Business Development Manager at Actronika at their booth at AWE EU 2019. We discussed their latest products and development in the haptics space.

Technology Analyst Luke Gear presents his findings from the Electric and Hybrid Marine conference held in Amsterdam.

Future of Heavy Duty EV Motors Off Road

Fork lift trucks are almost all induction because reliability and affordability trump performance here. Their batteries are rapidly going lithium-ion for something less toxic and nearer to fit-and-forget but there is no similar issue with the motors.

Bringing renewable energy to the Bahamas

The aim of the project, worth €1.5 million, is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by the year 2020 and, at the same time, decrease by 70% the use of power generation from conventional sources (diesel) for the production of the energy necessary for the island's consumption.

New Electric Vehicle Motors Grab Sales

Huge companies make traction motors for electric vehicles. After all, as the IDTechEx report, "Electric Motors for Electric Vehicles: Land, Water, Air 2019-2029" details, every EV has at least one traction motor and increasingly they have many, including one electric aircraft with no less than 36.

Dilemma of Automotive Vertical Integration

It is a rule-of-thumb that manufacturers should vertically integrate only when products and markets mature, so they can confidently shave off the last pennies of cost. One exception is when shortages loom: Tesla built its battery gigafactory fast using proven Panasonic technology. However, many suppliers now build battery gigafactories.

Electric Vehicles: Induction Motor Opportunities

The new IDTechEx Research report, "Electric Motors for Electric Vehicles: Land, Water, Air 2019-2029" measures how induction (asynchronous) motors are rapidly losing market share.
