The team’s original plastic motor housing had significant limitations in both heat dissipation and structural integrity. To address these issues, they transitioned to an aluminum motor housing, aiming to improve thermal management, reduce component weight, and strengthen the connections for cooling hoses.
This shift required close collaboration with engineers to optimize the design for performance and manufacturability. The new aluminum housing not only provided increased durability but also played a key role in enhancing the vehicle’s overall cooling efficiency.
