Strong R&D and Validation Capabilities
Our team has full-cycle validation capabilities for electric powertrain development. Systems undergo a rigorous testing process, including bench tests and vehicle trials, to ensure predictable performance under defined duty cycles.
We leverage advanced testing equipment and a fleet of 20+ test vehicles to perform structured experiments covering key conditions such as immersion, temperature extremes, salt spray, vibration, durability, noise, and on-road operation. This comprehensive validation ensures that our electric powertrain systems meet defined performance targets for power, weight, and integration suitability in light commercial vehicle platforms.
Benefits of Brogen Electric Motors for Light Commercial Vehicles
Enhanced Motor Efficiency
The motors use thin silicon steel laminations, high magnetic permeability materials, and sinusoidal air-gap flux density optimization to reduce core losses. Peak motor efficiency exceeds 97%, with system efficiency ≥85% across most of the operating range.
Low-Noise Operation
Rotor design includes segmented skewing and optimized auxiliary slot parameters at the rotor periphery, minimizing torque ripple and reducing acoustic noise under typical duty cycles.
Optimized Cooling System
A dual-helical water channel design provides uniform heat dissipation and maintains thermal stability while preserving water resistance and pressure characteristics sutiable for LCV operation.
Environmental Protection
Flange-mounted dustproof structure prevents ingress of mud, sand, and water, supporting long-term operational reliability in off-road or urban delivery conditions.
