Developments: 2. Automotive supplier ZF has introduced its High Revolution Drive, an electric powertrain designed for high-volume passenger vehicles. The system is capable of reaching speeds of 30,000 rpm, which is a significant increase from the 18,000 rpm seen in the company’s existing Select platform. By utilizing higher rotational speeds, the 3-in-1 unit, which integrates the motor, power electronics, and transmission, achieves a peak power of 200 kW and a peak torque of 3,500 Nm through a two-speed gearbox. This technical approach allows the unit to be approximately 25 percent smaller and lighter than comparable 18,000-rpm drives. Additionally, the design uses half the magnet mass required by previous systems, which may lead to a 13 percent reduction in costs and reduce industry dependence on specific raw materials. The drive is compatible with both 400-volt and 800-volt architectures and maintains an energy conversion efficiency of nearly 93 percent. ZF reports that several automakers are already in discussions regarding the technology, with series production planned for 2030. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-10: ZF unveils high-speed electric motor for EVs ZF has developed a high-speed electric motor reaching 30,000 rpm, offering a 25 percent reduction in weight and space while using half the magnetic material of previous systems. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/zf-unveils-high-speed-electric-motor-for-evs ### 2026-11-07: ZF unveils High Revolution Drive for electric vehicles ZF has introduced a High Revolution Drive powertrain capable of 30,000 rpm, offering higher efficiency and using 50 percent less magnet material. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/zf-unveils-high-revolution-drive-for-electric-vehicles --- Cite as: ZF High Revolution Drive development.
