Charged EVs | ETA Green Power launches ETA-MODEL 20, a 13.5 kg integrated motor, controller and charger for light EVs
ETA Green Power has launched the ETA-MODEL 20, a 3-in-1 integrated electric powertrain combining motor, controller and onboard charger in a single unit targeting vehicles with gross vehicle weights from 300 kg to 2,500 kg.
The system weighs 13.5 kg—a 32.5% reduction compared to conventional systems, which the company says typically reach up to 20 kg. Volume is approximately 20% smaller. ETA Green Power claims 92% peak system efficiency, a top motor speed of 10,000 rpm and up to 37% gradeability at gross vehicle weight. The unit is IP67-rated.
Integrating motor, controller and charger eliminates inter-component wiring, reduces thermal losses and condenses supplier relationships to a single system. ETA Green Power says the architecture results in 20% lower overall vehicle-level costs and improved reliability. The company also says the ETA-MODEL 20 uses no heavy rare earth elements—specifically no terbium or dysprosium—reducing exposure to supply chain disruptions tied to those materials.
“By reducing complexity while increasing performance, we are enabling our partners to accelerate time-to-market and deliver better vehicles to their customers,” said Alex Bamberg.
The system is designed in the UK and manufactured in India. ETA Green Power says it is currently in a funding round to support growth and global expansion.
