Yamaha establishes new automotive technology concept brand, will launch the most powerful motor, up to 2000 horsepower

Yamaha, a world-renowned manufacturer with great achievements in everything from bathtubs to harmonicas to motorcycles, recently announced that it will establish an automotive technology concept brand "α live". The first batch of products include oil-cooled motor units "α live EE", sound equipment "α live AD", front and rear transverse shock absorbers "α live PD" and shock absorbers "α live ET".

The oil-cooled motor unit "αliveEE" includes a motor with an output power of up to 350kW. This product adopts an integrated design, integrating the motor, gearbox, and electronic control components into one unit, and also integrates gears and inverters, and can be used at a voltage of up to 800V. This motor can be installed in multiple units on a vehicle. If one is installed on each of the four wheels, its output power can reach up to 2,000 horsepower, which is the most powerful automotive motor currently available.

When it comes to Yamaha, "all-rounder" may be the first impression people have of this company. From musical instruments to audio equipment, from motorcycles to boats, this company not only covers a wide range of fields, but also has achieved great success in every field it has entered. In the last century, Yamaha entered the field of automobile parts manufacturing and participated in the development of the engine of Japan's first supercar, the Toyota 2000GT.

Previously, the power range of Yamaha's automotive electric motors was between 35kW and 200kW. The direct launch of the 350kW model this time also means that they are beginning to attack the high-performance electric vehicle market. However, Yamaha also stated that there is no plan to directly manufacture supercars or electric vehicles. In the craze of cross-border car manufacturing, Yamaha, which is keen on cross-border, still remains cautious.
