GKN Automotive, the global leader in drive systems, will collaborate to develop a circular supply chain for recycled rare-earth magnets as a partner in the SCREAM (Secure Critical Rare Earth Magnets for UK) project.
A team at GKN Automotive will re-engineer a state-of-the-art 800v eDrive motor with recycled magnets produced by fellow partners in the consortium to test their performance and suitability in electric motors.
As part of the project, GKN Automotive will test the new motor and magnet performance to verify performance and capability compared with virgin material and the original machine. The work will be undertaken as part of a £3.4m collaborative research and development project across the automotive, technology, and recycling industries.
