Designed in Belgium · Produced in Europe
Rare-earth-free motors for unmanned systems.
DRV Solutions designs rare-earth-free motors for unmanned vehicles and engineers electric drivelines for any industry. Both build on the same foundations: deep electromagnetic and system-level know-how.

01 — UXV PROPULSION MOTORS
Three motor families. Zero rare-earth magnets.
Most UxV motors depend on rare-earth magnets, a narrow and supply-constrained source. Ours use ferrite magnets made from widely available materials, so they can be sourced and produced flexibly within Europe, without giving up the performance their class needs.

Sovereign by design
01
No rare earths
Ferrite permanent magnets remove the dependency on supply-constrained rare-earth materials.
02
Flexible supply chain
Materials and components with multiple European sources, so production can switch suppliers instead of waiting on one.
03
Belgian design, European production
Engineered in Flanders and built for automated, scalable production in Europe.

02 — ENGINEERING SERVICES
Electric driveline engineering, from field physics to platform impact.
Our team has developed automotive e-drivelines together for years, from university to Tier-1. We bring that to any market that runs on electric drivelines: automotive, industrial, aerospace and heavy vehicles. The application changes; the driveline physics doesn’t.
A
Performance & efficiency simulation
From electromagnetic FEA to performance and efficiency maps and complete duty cycle evaluations.
B
Design exploration
Clean-sheet concepts and trade-off studies, judged on their effect on the whole system and application.
C
Problem solving
Root-cause analysis when models and measurements disagree: performance, losses, thermals, NVH.
D
System integration
Getting motor, inverter, battery and cooling to work together in the application.
E
Validation & testing support
Test planning, characterisation and correlation between simulation and measurement.
THE FOUNDATION
Taurus simulation toolkit
Every study runs on Taurus, our in-house toolkit built on years of experience and validated by targeted tests. At about 75 µs per operating point, close to transient-FEA accuracy, full efficiency maps and complete drive cycles take seconds instead of days.
Available as plug-ins for your own toolchain, or as a service.
01 · MAGNETIC
Electromagnetic finite-element simulation, without build factors
02 · PERFORMANCE
Scalable efficiency and performance maps, including PWM-induced losses
03 · DRIVELINE
Duty cycles, thermal behaviour and application-level impact
Selected use-cases
AUTOMOTIVE · LOSS MODELLING
Closing a 30% gap between simulated and measured cycle losses
A customer’s CAE model underestimated drive-cycle losses by more than 30%. We traced about three quarters of the gap to PWM-induced copper, iron and magnet losses, and gave them a concrete optimisation path.
- >30% gap explained
- ~75% from PWM losses

UAV · DESIGN OPTIMISATION
Improve UAV resilience & flight time
A UAV motor redesigned to reduce its dependence on scarce critical materials, then evaluated at system level so the gain shows up where it counts: in flight time.
- 12% NdFeB reduction
- 4% mass reduction
- 7% flight time increase

WHY DRV
Europe needs propulsion it controls. We’re building it.
The gap
European UxV programmes need motors in volume, yet their propulsion depends on materials and production shaped by one country’s economic policy.
Our answer
Rare-earth-free motors, a European supply chain and production built for automation, designed with simulation tools proven in automotive programmes.
The team
Engineers who have worked together for years, with a proven track record at leading OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers.
MILESTONES
- Selected for EUDIS Business Accelerator Cohort #2: 20 teams from 450+ applicants
- Three motor families at functional-prototype stage, with first pilot cases running
