A-MMeasurement/teardown figureMeasurement/teardown figures
In the rotors of the traction motor and generator, for example MG2 and MG1. The specific hybrid architecture determines the number and mass.
Reference value1.216 kgNdFeB in the traction system studied
Highest reference value used1.995 kgNdFeB in the traction system studied
Limitations of the figure
Only the motor and generator components studied are counted. Other magnets in the vehicle are not automatically included.
Original application & recovery
Where magnets are located in a hybrid vehicle
Its position within the device helps with identification, but does not in itself establish the alloy, weight or eligibility for purchase.
Location within the equipment
In the rotors of the traction motor and generator, for example MG2 and MG1. The specific hybrid architecture determines the number and mass.
System boundary
NdFeB in the traction system studied. Foreign parts, housings, shafts, back irons, supports and other device components are not automatically included in the magnet mass.
Record before submitting an enquiry
- Record the motor and generator separately
- Document the model, year and dismantled components
- Do not derive elemental masses from oxide samples without a material balance
