The imPress® technology has its origins in the motor developed for use in the Australian solar car “Desert Rose” from Charles Darwin University. Included among several awards was the prestigious General Motors award for Technical Innovation won in the World Solar Challenge. The axial flux motor technology is also used in the water pumping industry.
imPress® provides higher efficiency, lower operating costs, noise and CO2 emissions in a smaller, more compact package.
With advanced features such as airflow control the motor can provide improved indoor air quality, energy savings, reduced noise and comfort for the end user.
