Our Approach

Efficiency matters

Understand how IE3/IE4/IE5 electric motor adoption impacts energy and performance.

Resilience counts

Assess how tariffs, supply chains, and rare earth dependencies affect electric motor sourcing.

For producers & users

Research tracks tailored to OEMs, electric motor manufacturers, and industrial users.

Research Themes

Our current research focuses on three critical areas of electric motor efficiency and supply chain resilience.

Factory fleet efficiency

What share of installed electric motors are IE3/IE4/IE5?

Current Study
Tariffs & rare earths

How have Chinese tariffs and rare earth supply affected lead times and prices for Nd-based permanent magnet electric motors?

Supply Chain Analysis
ROI of upgrades

What is the payback period for higher-efficiency electric motor replacements and which options are most cost-effective?
