- In July 2024, UK-based Protean Electric launched its Gen 5 in-wheel motor, offering enhanced performance, scalability, and affordability. Designed for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, it features integrated and standalone inverters, supporting various wheel sizes, torque, and power options. The 400V models are available now, while 800V versions—expected by the end of 2024—will enable higher power and faster charging
- In January 2024, Hyundai Mobis successfully integrated its next-gen e-Corner module into a prototype vehicle. This system combines steering, braking, driving, and suspension within each wheel, enabling 90-degree rotation and sideways movement. The innovation allows for zero-turn parking and crab-such as driving, making it ideal for urban mobility and tight spaces. Hyundai Mobis aims to commercialize the technology by 2025, targeting EV manufacturers and urban mobility startups
- In April 2023, Hyundai Mobis demonstrated its e-Corner System on public roads in South Korea using an IONIQ 5. The vehicle showcased crab walking, moving sideways with all four wheels turned 90 degrees, and zero turn, rotating 360 degrees while stationary. The system integrates brake-by-wire, steer-by-wire, damping, and in-wheel motors into a single module on each wheel
- In January 2023, Hyundai Mobis showcased its e-Corner system at CES 2023, installed in the Ioniq 5. The system enables diagonal movement, with wheels capable of turning up to 90 degrees, demonstrating Hyundai Mobis’ advancements in EV technology innovation
- In March 2022, L3Harris Technologies launched the AppStar satellite payload, an integrated E-band transmitter and receiver system designed for high-rate communication in LEO mega constellation satellites. This software-defined payload enables satellites to support multiple missions on a single platform, enhancing adaptability and scalability
