We are pleased to announce the addition of Deusto University from Spain to the CliMAFlux consortium! The University of Deusto will aid Tenneco in their planned activities to demonstrate the advantages of axial flux motor drives in an electrified chassis to ensure the integration into a fossil-free, zero-emission production process active suspension system. Read more about it here. Welcome to prof. García Barruetabeña and Ander Galparsoro!

On the 18th and 19th of June, the third CliMAFlux Consortium Meeting took place in Florence, Italy, hosted on the grounds of our academic partner, Università degli Studi di Firenze (UNIFI). Throughout the two-day event, partners gathered to discuss the current results and explore ideas for advancing the project’s tasks and goals. The meeting fostered active collaboration, comprehensive coordination, and strategic planning, strengthening interdisciplinary connections and reinforcing the team spirit that drives CliMAFlux forward. The discussions centered on reviewing our progress across all work packages, setting clear priorities, and outlining the next steps for the upcoming period. The productive atmosphere

Public deliverables from the CliMAFlux project are released via CORDIS after submission and EU approval. As the project progresses more documents will become available.

We are pleased to announce the addition of Vilnius Tech University from Lithuania to the CliMAFlux consortium! After a positive review of the Hop-on proposal submitted in 2024, Vilnius Tech is now an official partner within the CliMAFlux project. Their planned activities aim to demonstrate the advantages of axial flux (AF) motor drives for chassis auxiliary systems towards improving the driving efficiency of electric vehicles (EVs). The goal will be achieved through an integrated EV motion control system that includes the AF electric machines from the original CliMAFlux project and the new AF chassis actuators from the Hop-on actions.

On the 14th and 15th of January another CliMAFlux consortium meeting was held in Kortrijk in the technology park Evolis of our industrial partner Traxial. Here we discussed the progress and preliminary results from the third and fourth quarter of the project. Plans for the medium- and long-term prospects were outlined and agreed upon. Each of the responsible project partners gave a presentation of their work package or relevant tasks to highlight key outcomes and ideas. Axial flux Integrated Drive Unit and active suspension designs were debated within focused breakout groups, in light of the upcoming manufacturing and testing phase.
