The Advanced Propulsion Centre in the UK has provided funding for a project to expand the production of an innovative electric motor that doesn't rely on rare-earth elements. Advanced Electric Machines (AEM), a sustainable motor manufacturer, is leading the SIMPLE project (Scaled-up Innovative Motor Production for Lower Environmental Impact) initiative. This project involves establishing a dedicated pilot production line to manufacture their patented SSRD passenger car motor technology.

Traditional electric motors often utilize rare-earth elements like neodymium in their permanent magnet design, which is commonly found in electric vehicles. However, extracting these naturally occurring materials can have detrimental environmental impacts.

AEM asserts that the widespread adoption of their motors, which can be crafted using only aluminium and steel, holds the potential to reduce carbon emissions by 133 million tonnes, cut down 300,000 tonnes of radioactive waste, and decrease landfill waste by five million tonnes annually.
