Reduction of the energy consumption of electric vehicles (EV) and electrical appliances is one of the solutions for reduction of CO₂ emission. Then, we have developed a novel permanent magnet motor for energy saving. In this paper, we propose a novel motor that can change the magnetic flux by a new method to magnetize permanent magnets and we clarify the principle and unique characteristics. Furthermore, the results of analysis and experiments prove that the novel motor can change the flux of permanent magnets on-load and supports the realization of a variable speed drive with high performance and high efficiency.

AISIN AW has developed a new full hybrid transmission, the HD-10 for front wheel drive vehicles. This HD-10 has been developed based on the concept for improving fuel economy and performance without sacrificing drivability and utility. To achieve this, the transmission adopts an integrated design, which consists of two electric motors, gears including a planetary gear set, two inverters, and an electronic control unit. In addition, new software has been developed to offer smooth operation in every drive condition.
