A Texas-based supplier started production on electric motors aimed at the light electric vehicle (LEV) industry. The LEV industry includes RVs.
Linear Labs’ HET Light is an electric motor and intelligence drive system, the company stated. The production launch includes two models – the HET Light 30 and HET Light 45 Series.
“U.S. built motors have become a national strategic imperative. We are bringing high torque and high efficiency motor manufacturing back to the U.S.,” said Brad Hunstable, Linear Labs founder and CEO. “As we enter the next wave of electrification, Linear Labs is driving global impact through smarter energy systems starting with the HET Light Motor System.”
Linear Labs’ patented high efficiency torque (HET) motor and intelligent control drive, produces the same torque in half the size of current models and can be made using rare-earth or ferrite magnets. The design is based upon a breakthrough design and AI (artificial intelligence) Driving software control system creating the most powerful and AI motor system in the market.
The city of Fort Worth, Texas, and Linear Labs finalized a $68.9 million economic incentive package last year. Linear Labs projects thousands of new skilled jobs over the next 10 years at its research and production center, which manufactures electronification drive systems for electric vehicles and industrial applications.
