>From the article:

However the new motor being developed by IMP Ltd, a Welsh engineering
company based in Neath, really could put electric vehicles in the fast
lane.

The motor is revolutionary in that it contains no bulky permanent
magnets.

Instead it relies on transmitting electric pulses across up to seven
rotors, arranged in different phases. These are "fired up" in turn, much
like the pistons of an internal combustion engine.

There are no gears - the motor provides enough torque at one revolution
per minute to put a vehicle into motion - and it spins at up to
2,500rpm.

"Size for size, we can provide 400% more torque than any type of motor
currently available," says managing director John Bryant.
