Direct Drive Reimagined
With the Donut Motor, traditional powertrains are a thing of the past.
Say Goodbye to Power Transmission
Benefits Of Direct Drive
The Donut Motor’s direct drive design eliminates the complexities of traditional powertrains, unlocking a range of powerful advantages.
Lighter & Compact
Direct drive minimizes unnecessary weight and takes up less space, making vehicles lighter, more agile, and allowing for increased design flexibility.
Low Maintenance
With fewer moving parts, direct drive requires significantly less maintenance. This ensures customer satisfaction with reliable, long-term performance.
Cost Reduction
Reduces costs by eliminating unneccesary transmission components while reducing wear and extending lifespan.
Maximum Efficiency
Enhances energy transfer efficiency for improved performance. This translates to greater power output and lower energy consumption while extending range.
Streamlined Design
A more straightforward design with fewer components reduces overall system complexity.
Optimized Cooling
Generates less heat, reducing the need for additional cooling systems.
Revolutionary Precision
Unmatched control
Our direct drive technology enables control at a millisecond frequency, allowing for precision adjustments in real time. This level of responsiveness is far beyond what traditional systems can achieve. By delivering power directly to the wheels without intermediaries, our motor provides an unprecedented improvement in accuracy, stability, and traction control.
Power & TorQue
With the Donut Motor, traditional powertrains are a thing of the past.
A Revolution In Motion
Zero compromises. Maximum performance.
From hypercars to helicopters—the Donut Motor sets a new standard.
Next Gen Performance
The Donut Motor empowers EV and electric mobility manufacturers to build products with next-gen performance, without compromises.
Limitless Potential
Our motor has fully elastic performance specification. It can provide as much power and torque as required by your usecase – from hypercars to helicopters and trucks – without limitation.
Eliminating Unsprung Mass
With the world’s highest torque and power density, the Donut Motor reduces unsprung mass to an imperceptible level, all without sacrificing performance.
Redefining In-Wheel Motors
Exceptional Torque and Power density
Donut Lab’s next-generation in-wheel motors break free from past compromises, delivering both exceptional torque and power density in a compact, scalable design. Our technology enables higher performance and cost efficiency for a wide range of applications – without the trade-offs that once defined in-wheel motors.
Simplified Architecture
Redefining efficiency with fewer parts, less weight, and uncompromised performance.
Unlocking new possibilities
Designed for simplicity
The Donut Platform redefines vehicle design, drastically lowering the threshold for creating new vehicles. By eliminating unnecessary moving parts, the architecture and engineering processes become significantly simpler and more streamlined.
With our solution, vehicles are not only lighter, but the cost of the powertrain is also reduced compared to traditional systems. This simplified design brings multiple benefits: decreased weight leads to greater efficiency, reduced manufacturing complexity minimizes costs, and fewer components translate to lower maintenance needs over the vehicle’s lifetime.
The result is a powerful, efficient, and elegant architecture that empowers innovation and makes cutting-edge vehicle development more accessible than ever before.
