In today’s landscape of energy transition and the growing electrification of transportation, electric mobility is taking on a strategic role for the automotive and special vehicles industry. In this continuously evolving context, Nicolini & C. positions itself as a partner in the design and supply of asynchronous motors for auxiliary applications, contributing experience, flexibility, and engineering expertise to the development of the new generation of electric vehicles.
In the world of electric vehicles (EVs), besides traction motors, there are essential auxiliary systems that ensure efficient and safe vehicle operation. We're talking about motors for thermal management (HVAC), pumps, compressors, actuators, fans, and other components critical to the overall functionality of the vehicle.
These subsystems, although not involved in direct traction, significantly impact the vehicle’s performance, autonomy, and safety. For this reason, it is crucial that the motors driving these systems be reliable, durable, customizable, and compliant with current regulations.
And this is exactly where Nicolini & C. comes into play.
With over 40 years of experience in the production of custom electric motors, Nicolini & C. has developed a specific range of high-performance asynchronous motors tailored to the needs of auxiliary applications in the e-mobility sector.
The advantages of asynchronous motors are numerous and represent a mature, robust, and reliable solution. Unlike other technologies such as brushless or synchronous motors, asynchronous motors offer significant benefits in terms of:
• structural simplicity
• resistance to overloads
• ease of thermal management
• compatibility with harsh environments
• cost-effectiveness in large-scale production
Technical customization: every project has its own motor.
Nicolini & C. enables the customization of asynchronous motors based on the specific needs of each client.
Thanks to its internal laboratory and experience gained through hundreds of projects, OEM customers are supported in co-designing the most suitable motor, reducing validation times and optimizing the final system performance.
Moreover, Nicolini & C.’s engineering approach allows for delivering a component while working closely with the customer throughout the entire project lifecycle, offering:
• technical feasibility analysis
• development of custom solutions
• lab testing and environmental trials
• support during bench and vehicle validation
• technical documentation (drawings, data sheets, specifications)
• traceability and quality management
Regulations and reference standards: guaranteed compliance
In the automotive and electric vehicle sectors, compliance with international standards is a fundamental requirement. The asynchronous motors from Nicolini & C. are designed to meet:
• CE, RoHS and REACH directives
• ISO/IEC standards for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility
• Specifications required by vehicle manufacturers
• Automotive quality criteria (PPAP, FMEA, IMDS upon request)
Electric mobility requires much more than just a motor. It demands vision, expertise, responsiveness, and reliability.
With its asynchronous motors designed for EV auxiliary applications, Nicolini & C. confirms itself as a strategic partner for OEMs, integrators, and electric vehicle manufacturers seeking not just a supplier, but a true technological ally.
