DeepDrive

DeepDrive, a high-tech company headquartered in Munich, is developing groundbreaking drive units for electric vehicles. By utilising their patented dual-rotor motor topology, DeepDrive addresses two major challenges faced by electric vehicles: limited range and higher costs compared to traditional combustion engines. With DeepDrive's motor solutions, electric vehicles can now achieve up to a 20% greater range at significantly reduced costs, making sustainable mobility more accessible. DeepDrive is currently collaborating with eight of the top ten largest automotive manufacturers on various development projects and plans to launch the dual-rotor in mass production by 2026. Additionally, DeepDrive is backed by prominent investors, including BMW i Ventures, Continental's Corporate Venture Capital Unit, UVC Partners, and Bayern Kapital. Dr. Peter Mertens, a respected industry veteran and former board member and CTO of Audi and Volvo, along with Jonas Rieke, a leading startup manager and COO of Personio, also contribute to DeepDrive's success.

At the heart of DeepDrive is their patented Dual Rotor, Radial Flux Machine which is a technological leap in the electric drive unit. Their drive units can be integrated within the wheels or as a traditional central drive and come with the following advantages:

▪ ultra energy-efficient: +20% range increase vs. state-of the art

▪ low-cost and scalable production

▪ compact and powerful

▪ 50% less magnet material

The patented DeepDrive Dual Rotor, Radial Flux Machine combines an inner and outer rotor with two air gaps and profits from highest material utilisation and lowest iron losses. It captivates through a revolutionary distributed winding concept – the key enabler for the Dual Rotor concept. In combination with an integrated SiC MOSFET inverter, the DeepDrive drive units deliver highest system efficiencies of above 98%.
