AVID about
AVID is a leader in the design and manufacture of electrified powertrain components and systems for heavy-duty and high-performance electric (EV) and hybrid vehicles (HEV). Our core competencies are the design, validation, and manufacture of high-performance electric motors, power electronics, and thermofluids integration.
AVID manufactures a range of electrified powertrain components including electric pumps and fans, battery systems, traction motors and power electronics used in electric and hybrid vehicles and actuation and propulsion systems for robotics.
We also have full systems integration and control expertise allowing AVID to rapidly develop complete EV, PHEV, and MHEV powertrain solutions.
The core pillars of the AVID business are Innovation, Agility, Quality and our great team.
Saving the planet
It is a fact that climate change, urban air quality and the rising cost of energy are major issues of our time. The energy consumption and exhaust emissions from vehicles are major contributors to these issues. AVID’s vision is a future where the air is safe to breathe and transport is more sustainable.
Our mission is to help deliver this vision of a cleaner, greener future by enabling smart powertrain electrification with our high-efficiency electric motor and power electronics technology and delivering class-leading electrified powertrain and propulsion systems.
Our customers include most of the prominent global vehicle manufacturers and tier 1 suppliers.
Featured Products
Alternators & Crank Assist
The Power Series Alternator Range consists of a number of high-performance, high-efficiency brushless alternators. The series is based around the same family of proven components and a unique electrical machine design. As well as operation as a conventional alternator with diode rectification, AVID now offers the Power Series Alternator with a range of rectification and control options.
Custom Solutions
AVID has been developing electrified engine ancillaries, control systems and advanced thermal management systems for many years. We are proud to be working with some of the worlds leading vehicle manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers to help them develop innovative solutions for the vehicles of the future.
Bespoke Pump Designs
AVID has significant expertise in the design of brushless DC motors and intelligent motor controllers. This enables us to deliver bespoke solutions for pumps and other systems.
Bespoke Fans
AVID has many years of experience in the design of highly efficient motor controllers and brushless DC motors. The company also has in house 3D mechanical design and CFD capabilities meaning that we are capable of developing custom solutions for cooling fan challenges. Utilising our background knowledge allows us to bring products to the market faster, with less risk and at a lower cost.
eFan Micro Hybrid Systems
AVID’s eFan Micro Hybrid System (MHS) replaces the conventional engine cooling system. The AVID MHS reduces parasitic loads on the engine and allows operating temperature to be optimised and reduces fuel consumption.

48V Mild Hybrid Systems
AVID’s 48V Mild Hybrid System has been developed as a cost effective solution to deliver improved fuel consumption and a reduction in CO2 and harmful exhaust emissions in heavy duty vehicles such as trucks, buses and off-highway machinery
EVO Axial Flux Electric Motors
EVO axial flux electric motors have one of the highest usable power and torque densities of any electric vehicle drive motor available on the market today. Because of this they are suitable for a range of high performance drivetrain applications. The EVO permanent magnet axial flux motors are based on proprietary and patented technology that can be used in conjunction with custom built or standard inverters. AVID can also deliver bespoke and integrated solutions for OEM applications can be developed on demand for traction, generator and accessory drive.
eFan FiL-11 Electric Cooling Fan
AVID Technology’s 11″ eFan is one of the most powerful, durable and efficient electric fan units available in the market.
Developed specifically for demanding heavy duty vehicle applications. The FiL-11 fan uses a highly efficient brushless DC motor and AVID’s proprietary control electronics to ensure performance and reliability.
Liquid Cooled Charge Air Cooling
Liquid Cooled Charge Air Cooling, sometimes referred to as Indirect Charge Air Cooling is a key strategy in the reduction of emissions and efficiency improvement in modern low emission diesel engines. This technology see’s the conventional “Air to Air” charge air cooler replaced by a more advanced system involving a low temperature cooling circuit, coolant circulation pump, low temperature radiator and a liquid cooled charge air cooler or LCCAC.
Bespoke Thermal Systems
AVID has produced bespoke thermal management solutions for a wide range of applications. Ranging from keeping hydrogen fuel cell’s cool in mobile applications to managing heat build up in sensitive stationary electronics systems. AVID uses the highest performance heat exchangers that are perfectly matched to our high performance electric fans and pumps and offer the highest levels of reliability and efficiency.
ePump WP29 – Water Pump
The WP29 ePump is a high performance electric water pump, with an intelligent CAN enabled controller. The controller allows the pumps speed to be controlled via CANbus and also allows the pump to give full diagnostic information back to the vehicle.
ePump OP40 – Oil Pump
The OP40 is a high performance oil pump specifically designed for demanding gearbox lubrication in high performance electric and hybrid vehicles. The pump uses the same high performance proven 0.75kW brushless DC motor and control electronics as the FiL-11 fan. This enables full speed control of the pump via PWM or CAN.
