TMC is China’s most influential international conference on transmission, hybrid and electric‑vehicle drive technologies, hosted by the Society of Automotive Engineers of China.

Held on October 15‑16, 2018, this TMC forum focused on the technical development of conventional and electrified DCT powertrains as well as electric‑vehicle drive and multi‑speed transmission technologies. Nearly 300 technical experts from vehicle OEMs, component suppliers, universities and other institutions attended the event. Dr. Niu Mingkui took the stage at TMC on behalf of Founder Motor Group for the very first time.

After a brief analysis of existing technical solutions for electric drive systems, Dr. Niu looked into future development trends and outlined two key R&D priorities for Founder Motor: hairpin‑wound motors and integrated electric drive axles.

Hairpin‑wound motors and integrated electric axles are two popular and forward‑looking directions in current EV research. In‑depth research in both fields requires solid R&D strength and industrialization capabilities. Amid the audience’s curiosity about Founder Motor, Dr. Niu presented the company’s growth trajectory, product portfolio, R&D and manufacturing capacities, showcasing a fast‑growing and enterprising enterprise. He then introduced Founder’s hairpin‑wound motor and 2‑in‑1 electric drive axle products and projects. When mentioning that Founder’s low‑voltage integrated 2‑in‑1 electric drive axle achieved SOP in August as China’s first mass‑produced integrated electric axle, a proud and bright smile appeared on his usually serious face. Behind this smile lies the united and determined drive of all Founder staff to forge ahead, the perseverance of R&D and industrial teams in fulfilling their duties, as well as recognition and gratitude for every employee’s dedication and commitment to the original mission.
