During a Tech Tour of Turntide Technologies’ Axial Flux Electric Drive Unit (EDU), Jason Glass, Product Lead for EDUs and diesel-hybrid systems, highlights how it redefines electrified propulsion.

Rather than presenting standalone components, the tour focused on the EDU as a fully integrated system—combining the motor, inverter, and differential into a single, optimized unit. This integration reduces complexity for OEMs and ensures all elements work seamlessly together for improved performance and reliability. 

A key highlight was the axial flux motor, whose compact, high-torque design delivers exceptional power density in a smaller, lighter package. This enables OEMs to enhance performance while overcoming packaging constraints common in electrified application.
