Saietta shifts to fully integrated light duty e-drive systems

Saietta Group has expanded its product offering for the light-duty electric vehicle sector. The Group’s Axial Flux Technology (AFT) electric motor range has been enhanced and expanded with integrated power electronics, a modular gearbox and a bespoke axle architecture in direct response to growing demand. This enables providing lightduty vehicle manufacturers with a fully integrated one-stop-shop for e-mobility system solutions. Commenting on Saietta’s expansion and enhanced AFT product range, Wicher (Vic) Kist, Chief Executive Officer of Saietta, said, “The acquisition of e-Traction has enabled us to reach this point sooner than expected and customer engagement has convinced us that this is the best commercial opportunity for delivering our AFT technology to market. Owning the power electronics and software development capabilities should allow us to help our customers to get their vehicle platforms to market faster.” The acquisition of e-Traction in November 2021 has been key in Saietta advancing the development of its in-house developed integrated inverter for the AFT motor range.
