In 2023, the company is developing and increasing production of new products such as high-performance motors and fan systems. It is also focusing on the development of powertrain systems for NEVs, hydrogen fuel cell systems, high-pressure canned motor pumps, hydrogen circulation systems and high-pressure cooling fans among other products.

In order to expand production capacity, Broad-Ocean Motor has decided to establish a production base and research facility for NEV powertrain systems and related parts in Yubei District, Chongqing City in June 2023. In addition, in anticipation of the expansion of the NEV market, the company plans to mass produce NEV drive systems for EV passenger cars in the near future. The products to be mass-produced include generator units for high-performance range extenders, “3-in-1” drive systems, and high-efficiency motor controllers compatible with high voltage for silicon carbide power modules.
