>10.000 startups screened - guess who stood out! Hyperdrives 🫶🏼 Deep Tech Momentum

Taking on the Porsche killer! 🏁 In the January issue of Springer Fachmedien: ATZ/MTZ, we had the opportunity to contribute a cover story featuring a like-for-like cost and performance benchmark against one of the toughest reference points in the market today: the Xiaomi Technology SU7 motor - the EV that famously took the Nürburgring record from Porsche lately. In the 8-page article, co-authored by Johannes Flemming (P3) and our CTO Michael Numberger, we present an in-depth, bottom-up cost analysis comparing Xiaomi’s SU7 IPM motor with a directly cooled Hyperdrives hollow-conductor benchmark design. The question we wanted to answer: how many hard €€€ can we get out of the system, while matching the exact same performance envelope? P3 performed a full teardown and meticulous bill-of-materials and production cost analysis for both machines - not a rule-of-thumb estimate, but a detailed, process-level model. The result, in a nutshell: - Same rotor concept and outer packaging for maximum comparability - 25% shorter active motor length (109 mm vs. 145 mm) - 8 kg lower system mass - Identical efficiency over an automotive duty cycle - >101 € cost reduction per unit on a system level (after accounting for the higher phase current on the inverter side) For a mass-volume product, that is a remarkable value potential! With a lot of generic talk in our industry about “cost-down potential", this study puts hard data and independent validation behind the claim. It shows that direct hollow-conductor stator cooling enables a combination of power density, efficiency, and cost structure that was previously out of reach, even when benchmarking against a Nürburgring-proven reference. Thank you to the to the MTZ / ATZ editorial team for the opportunity to publish this work of our team in such rigorous and respected outlet! If you’d like to dive deeper into the methodology, assumptions, or results - or explore how this could translate to your own electric machine: feel free to reach out!

⚡🚗 Speaker Spotlight: Michael Numberger – BROCKHAUS Motor Workshop 2025 🏁🧊 We’re excited to welcome Michael Numberger, CTO and co-founder of Hyperdrives GmbH, as a speaker at the BROCKHAUS Motor Workshop, taking place on October 28, 2025, at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. 🎤 Presentation Topic: Breakthrough Cooling for Electric Motors: Tripling Current Density with Hollow Conductors 🔍 Presentation Overview: Hyperdrives introduces a breakthrough in stator cooling technology that enables three times higher current density in electric motors. The key innovation: hollow conductors that provide an order of magnitude more effective heat extraction directly from the stator. This approach leads to motors that are: 🔹 Significantly smaller 🔹 Lighter 🔹 More efficient Importantly, the technology does not rely on exotic or costly materials. Instead, it applies a simple yet powerful principle to “turbo-charge” electric drives. The result: 🔹 Higher performance 🔹 Lower system cost 🔹 Scalable application across automotive, aviation, and other e-mobility sectors. 🧠 About the Speaker: Michael Numberger is the CTO and founder of Hyperdrives GmbH, founded in 2021 together with Benjamin Hengstler and Robin Renz. He leads electromagnetic design and pre-development of next-generation electric drives. His background in vehicle engineering began with Formula Student, later continuing with Siemens and Compact Dynamics. Michael has contributed to leading high-performance e-motor projects in motorsports and aviation, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans and Formula E. 📍 BROCKHAUS Motor Workshop 2025 📅 October 28, 2025 🏫 California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA 🎟️ Attendance is free for registered participants 👉 Register via email: kevin.rodemann@brockhaus.com 🔗 Don't miss this event!: https://lnkd.in/eFEMcgdv #BrockhausWorkshop #ElectricMotors #Hyperdrives #CoolingInnovation #CurrentDensity #HollowConductors #MotorEfficiency #EVTechnology #FormulaE #LeMans #eMobility #MotorDesign #CalPoly
