By GlobalDataThe news follows Yasa’s announcement last year of a new 100,000 unit capacity series production facility in Oxford, UK. In addition to automotive, Yasa is also addressing the electric aerospace market.
Last month, the company said it was partnering with Rolls-Royce to provide electric motors to power an electric aircraft, scheduled for launch in 2020.
“This agreement brings together one of the world’s best-known automotive manufacturers with Yasa,” said Yasa CEO, Chris Harris.
“Our companies both share the same passion for innovation and the same commitment to excellence. Through this long-term collaboration, we are developing custom electric motor and controller solutions that will power driving experiences.”
