As seen in the video, the Takashi Hara, a member of Yamaha’s Engineering division 2 explains, “We developed the EV motors first with our motorcycles, and we’ve continued that work, but also combined the know-how from our engines to create these new units.”

The other one is a 150 kW motor that will be used for electric cars. Hara also says compactness was of paramount importance and have leveraged their casting technologies to create an overall compact unit.
