Sona BLW Precision Forgings (Sona Comstar) has partnered with C-Motive Technologies (C-Motive), the technology company that has developed the world's first commercially viable electrostatic motor. Sona Comstar and C-Motive will collaborate to develop electrostatic drive motors for electric vehicle (EV) applications, for which it estimate the serial production will likely start in 2026. The proposal, amongst others, involves participation in CMotive's latest financing round.
C-Motive's product is a reinvention of the electric motor. Traditional electric motors use electromagnetic forces to convert electric power to mechanical power. C-Motive's product harnesses the power of static cling to liberate engineers and designers from permanent magnets and active cooling. C-Motive's electrostatic machines deliver high torque and ultrahigh efficiency at low speeds without using rare earth metals or permanent magnets.
Sona BLW Precision Forgings is one of the leading automotive technology companies in India. It is primarily engaged in designing, manufacturing, and supplying high-quality mission-critical automotive components such as differential assemblies, gears, conventional and micro-hybrid starter motors, etc.
