The Aston Martin Valhalla will be the British luxury performance brand’s first Plug-In Hybrid supercar. This presentation will give you an insight into the challenges that were faced and how these were overcome. To achieve the above, an unconventional machine solution was produced—consisting of a fully oil-flooded stator, equipped with novel winding technology and a rotor with effective hybrid cooling to optimize temperatures. This has allowed the delivery of a Front EDU in a confined space envelope with a twin e-motor solution to allow full vehicle torque vectoring on Valhalla.
The presentation will cover:
Christian Easley is currently the Lead Engineer for Electric Motors and their development at Aston Martin at the company’s Gaydon Headquarters in the UK. Christian is responsible for the delivery of Electric Motors into Aston Martin Electrified Powertrains. Christian acts as engineering lead for the whole eMotor product life cycle from concept to production.
Christian is a Chartered Engineer and a Fellow of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers with 13 years of experience in engineering. Working for companies such as Rolls Royce delivering mechanical fuel control systems, ZF Automotive delivering Electric Park Brakes and EPAS Steering solutions and Collins Aerospace delivering High Power Density Electric Motors for future aircraft. Christian has delivered several products to the automotive market and has now specialized in the field of Mechanical Electric Motor design for +6 Years and is driving the future of eMotors at Aston Martin.
Marco Cossale joined Mavel EDT as Senior eDrive engineer after twelve years of experience in the field of design, development and testing of eMotors. He is working to deliver high efficiency and high torque density eMotor for automotive premium applications.
In his previous experiences with FPT industrial (IVECO Group) and BRUSA Elektronik was involved in several projects with OEMs and Tier 1 for on- and off-road electrified applications and the development of cutting-edge technologies. Dr. Cossale has co-authored more than 35 papers published in technical journals and conference proceedings and 1 patent application. He serves as a Reviewer for some IEEE Transactions and international conferences.
