Guangzhou – September 25, 2026 -- GAC Group's electric drive project has won the Gold Medal with the Congratulations of the Jury, the highest distinction at the 51st International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva, an award requiring unanimous jury approval selected from among all Gold Medal winners.
Ultra-thin amorphous stator technology cuts motor energy loss
The winning project, "Key Precision Manufacturing Technologies and Applications for Low-Loss Stator Cores Based on Ultra-Thin Amorphous Materials," applies ultra-thin amorphous material to motor stator cores to reduce energy loss, allowing more stored power to drive the vehicle rather than dissipate as heat.
Quark Electric Drive 2.0 motor hits 99.03% peak efficiency
The technology, integrated into GAC's Quark Electric Drive 2.0 motor, delivers a peak efficiency of 99.03%, while the full electric drive system reaches a CLTC operating efficiency of 94.184%. With identical battery capacity, the gains translate into 30 to 50 kilometers of additional driving range.
Technology rolls out first across three China-market EV models
GAC has deployed the system in the AION N60, the 2027 AION RT, and the 2027 AION i60 for the Chinese market. The company said it will extend the technology to additional models as mass production scales up.
