Testing a motor that does not use a permanent magnet.

Rizik and Taiyo Denki Engineering (Saiwai-ku, Kawasaki City) will jointly develop an electric two-wheeler equipped with a motor that does not use permanent magnets, with the aim of developing a prototype in July. Based on the results of the experiment, the company will make improvements and appeal the effectiveness of motors that do not use permanent magnets to the two-wheeled vehicle market. The system, which is based on Rizik's technology, regenerates the power generation energy stored in the coil to the power source when the current exceeds the set value in the power generation operation, and returns to the power generation operation when the coil current drops due to the regeneration operation to repeatedly maintain the power generation and regeneration operations. The company will supply the control unit, and Taiyo Denki Engineering will incorporate it into the motor and install it in the motorcycle.

                  Current Toshiba "SCiB" products

                  Current Toshiba "SCiB" products

                  Toshiba is planning to commercialize the next generation of its proprietary SCiB lithium-ion rechargeable batteries in fiscal 2020 or later, with an energy density that is more than 50% higher than that of conventional products. The company has already developed a prototype cell at its research laboratory and will establish mass production technology. While SCiBs are strong in terms of longevity and fast charging performance, energy density, which leads to higher battery capacity, has been an issue. The company aims to expand its business by focusing on hybrid vehicles (HV), railroads and stationary applications. However, in the lithium-ion battery market as a whole, major manufacturers in Japan, China and South Korea are competing with each other. Toshiba's strategy is to target a "niche top" market by narrowing down the target market because price competition is not in Toshiba's favor.
