About YASA
YASA, the pioneering electric motor and drive manufacturer based in Oxfordshire, UK, was founded in 2009 as a spin-out from the University of Oxford.
The company specialises in axial-flux electric motors, which offer exceptional power and torque density in a lightweight package.
Following its acquisition by the Mercedes-Benz Group in 2021, YASA continues to innovate and scale production from its facilities in Oxfordshire and Welshpool.
YASA’s technology is used by some of the world’s most prestigious automotive brands, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Mercedes-AMG.
