Lucid Unveils State-of-the-Art Motorsports Electric Drive Unit, Taking Lucid Air’s Advanced Electric Motor and Drivetrain Technology to the Racetrack

NEWARK, Calif., Jan. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), setting new standards with the longest-range, fastest-charging electric car on the market, today unveiled its groundbreaking new electric drive unit for motorsports, which can already be found on the race circuit as the standard front drive unit for the world’s leading single-seater electric racing series.

Lucid Group, makers of the groundbreaking Lucid Air electric sports sedan, unveiled its groundbreaking new electric drive unit for motorsports, which can already be found on the race circuit as the standard front drive unit for the world’s leading single-seater electric racing series.

“With incredible power density of 14.7 hp/kg and immense energy recuperation, this drive unit will once again transform electric motorsports, following in the footsteps of our revolutionary battery pack in prior race seasons,” said Peter Rawlinson, CEO and CTO, Lucid Group. “For Lucid, the transfer of technology between motorsports and road cars is a two-way symbiosis. This new motorsports drive unit builds directly upon the groundbreaking powertrain technology developed in-house by Lucid and proven on the road in every Lucid Air. I’m excited by the prospect that some of the technical advancements introduced may in turn make their way to future Lucid road cars.”

Comprising motor, inverter, differential and transmission all combined, the new motorsports drive unit produces 469 horsepower – despite a weight of only 70.5 pounds (32 kilos) – and is capable of a max rotor speed of 19,500 rpm. It features the same state-of-the-art high-voltage continuous wave winding and proprietary microjet cooling system that can be found in the motors powering the Lucid Air sports sedan.

Positioned in the nose cone of every racecar in the current electric world championship, the new Lucid drive unit provides regenerative energy recovery from the front wheels under braking, significantly enhancing the racecar’s performance envelope, efficiency, and relevance to road car advancement.

Just as the motors in the acclaimed Lucid Air sports sedan are designed, engineered, and produced entirely in-house by Lucid, the new motorsports front drive unit is completely proprietary. Lucid drew upon its expertise of e-motor design, power electronics, computer simulation, and design engineering to create this cutting-edge drive unit. Each motorsport drive unit is manufactured to exacting specification in Lucid’s headquarters in California.

About Lucid Group
Lucid’s mission is to inspire the adoption of sustainable energy by creating advanced technologies and the most captivating luxury electric vehicles centered around the human experience. The company’s first car, Lucid Air, is a state-of-the-art luxury sedan with a California-inspired design that features luxurious full-size interior space in a mid-size exterior footprint. The highly anticipated Lucid Air Grand Touring features 819 horsepower. Deliveries of Lucid Air, which is produced at Lucid’s factory in Casa Grande, Arizona, are currently underway to U.S., Canadian, and European customers.

و سيُعرَض فيلم “على خطى الرسول” لأول مرة في البينالي ، حيث يتتبع خلاله الدكتور عبد الله القاضي، والذي يتمتع بخبرة راسخة ومتينة في المجال، خطوات الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم. ويستند الفيلم على معرض الهجرة المقام حاليًا في إثراء، والذي يسعى إلى توسيع معرفة الناس بالحدث الأهم في التاريخ الإسلامي، والذي انطلق فيه الإسلام ليصبح من الأديان الأوسع انتشارًا، والذي بدوره أفسح المجال لنهوض حضارة عظيمة .

وعلى ضوء ذلك، يرتكز معرض “رحلة الفهم” على إعادة تقييم ثقافة الإسلام المرئية، مع مراعاة دراسة الجمهور السعودي لتقييم طريقة استقباله ومعرفته وتصوراته السابقة في هذا المجال. كما يتضمن المعرض معروضات ثقافية مهمة، مثل قطعة تاريخية نادرة لكسوة الكعبة، ومصاحف ومخطوطات تاريخية وأثريات أخرى. كما تُثري المعرض مجموعة متنوعة من مقاطع الفيديو وتجربتان للواقع الافتراضي؛ مما يمنح الزوار فرصة تجربة جولة تفاعلية في مسجدين عالميين.

It sits on 33” BF Goodrich All Terrain tires and 20” Khan Mondial Retro wheels with black Brembo calipers, making its road presence undeniably ominous. Other offroading upgrades include a full rear window cage kit, roll cage, E.C.D. Air Ride suspension and four Hella LED lights.

US, Chinese, Russian Officials Scramble to Visit Africa

WASHINGTON — Top Chinese, Russian and American officials are scrambling this month to visit African nations and pledge their commitment to the world’s fastest-growing continent.

As President Joe Biden prepares for a visit later this year, several of his top officials have recently visited Africa. There, they must balance the desire to secure the continent’s support against Russian aggression and Chinese ambitions with their promise to work to benefit Africa.

Washington says this is not about countering Russian and Chinese ambitions — though the U.S. has expressed dismay over African nations’ reluctance to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — but about building meaningful relationships in areas such as business, health, peace and security.

“Our partnership in Africa is not about — about other nations,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in response to a question from VOA. “Our partnership there, it’s — as demonstrated by our commitments at the U.S.-Africa Leaders’ Summit — the United States sees African countries as genuine partners and wants to build relationships based on mutual respect.”

But the continent’s top diplomat says Africa, which was brutally colonized by European powers for centuries, is no one’s pawn. And, he pointedly added, China understands that.

“Africa refuses to be seen as an arena for influence struggles,” said African Union Commission chairperson Moussa Faki. “We are open to cooperation and partnerships with everyone, as long as they respect our principles, our priorities and our interests. The partnership we have with China is built on these principles.”

But as the most senior visiting U.S. official said recently, these great-power rivals are keenly aware of each other’s activities, especially as China and Russia flex their muscles globally.

“Many African countries are now plagued by high and unsustainable debt, and that’s undeniably a problem, and much of it is related [to] Chinese investment in Africa,” said U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, the latest U.S. official to visit. “So, I think that’s simply a factual statement. But this is not for us. This is not a competition with China. We want to deepen our engagement with Africa.”

Analysts say these two goals — real partnership, but also great power competition — are not mutually exclusive.

“We want to check the ambitions of an expanding Russia and an expanding China, but we also want to see African countries collectively develop more of a political voice for themselves in international fora and create prosperity for their citizens at home,” said Cameron Hudson, who researches Africa at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

“So, all of these things can be true at the same time. However, we’re not acknowledging that truth. We are acknowledging only one truth, which is that we want to see Africa develop. And I think it’s just more complicated than that.”

Analysts estimate that China has spent more than $1 trillion on its global Belt and Road Initiative, which builds infrastructure in the developing world. China maintains a strict stance of noninterference in other countries’ internal affairs.

During his first trip on the job, China’s new foreign minister rejected the notion of the continent as an ideological battleground, as it often was during the Cold War.

“No country, no people, have the right to force African countries and its people to take sides,” said Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang. “Africa should be a platform for international cooperation, not an arena for competition between major countries.”

The next top American official to visit in coming days will be Biden’s ambassador to the United Nations, who previously oversaw the continent at the State Department.

And then, presumably, Biden himself. The White House said this week in response to a question from VOA that there are no concrete plans to announce yet.

Biden has framed the 11-month conflict in Ukraine as a fundamental struggle between democracies and autocracies. With Africa showing clear signs of democratic backsliding, Hudson wonders if Biden will keep those ideals in the forefront when he’s on African soil.

“Is he going to stick to those kinds of fundamental principles, which he says he holds, and have a very frank and honest and open dialogue with African states, criticizing them when it’s required, keeping the distance when it’s required?” Hudson asked.

“Or will he kind of ignore that or put that on a back burner so that he can build relationships that might advantage Washington at the U.N. or down the road politically?”
