May 8, 2008 – Vol.13 No.7

UQM Technologies Introduces, Takes Orders for New 125 kW Electric Propulsion System.

The new propulsion system is suitable for high performance automotive applications including all-electric, plug-in hybrid, and series hybrid vehicles.

The 125 kW (168 horsepower) peak power permanent magnet propulsion system has a continuous power rating of 45 kW (60 horsepower), delivers peak torque of 300 N-m (221 ft-lbs) and continuous torque of 160 N-m (118 ft-lbs). It has a diameter of only 280 mm (11 inches) and a weight of 41 kg (90 lbs).

“This system allows us to pursue market opportunities for those vehicle platforms that require high peak power but are too small to package our 150 kW system,” said Jon Lutz, Vice President of Technology for UQM Technologies, Inc. “This system is ideally suited to high performance automobiles and capitalizes on the proprietary software and hardware technology that led to the release of our high performance 150 kW system last year. We are pleased to now offer a product family that includes 50 kW, 75 kW, 100 kW, 125 kW, and 150 kW propulsion systems.”

UQM Technologies, of Frederick, Colorado, is a developer and manufacturer of power dense, high efficiency electric motors, generators and power electronic controllers for the automotive, aerospace, medical, military and industrial markets. (5/7/08)
