- **Event Description**: Join SME Chapter 69 for a technical presentation from Prefix Corporation about in-wheel motor technology systemAbout this EventJoin SME Chapter 69 for a technical presentation from Prefix Corporation, delivering cutting-edge prototype development, concept vehicle engineering, and advanced mock-up solutions across automotive, aviation, and multiple high-tech sectors. This presentation offers a unique opportunity to learn in-wheel motor technology system that delivers power directly to each wheel - eliminating the traditional central motor, transmission, driveshafts, and differentials. The integrated axial flux motor is located in the wheel “Hubless Motor”.This breakthrough technology provides: instant torque response, enhanced handling and vehicle dynamics, faster acceleration, improved energy efficiency and extended range, integrated power electronics and digital control, direct-drive architecture (no gears required), integrated friction braking within the motor. By relocating propulsion to the wheel itself, ProteanDrive unlocks unprecedented flexibility in vehicle design, packaging, and manufacturing.In this presentation, Tom Prucha cuts through the hype to show the integration of the hubless wheel drive train, and why quad-motor drive could be the future of EVs compared to the most common EV propulsion options.Why Attend• Gain a practical understanding of in-wheel drive technology• Compare traditional central motor drivetrains vs. in-wheel systems• Learn how vehicle performance characteristics differ• Explore real-world electrification applications• Engage directly with an industry expert during Q&AThis session is ideal for engineers, manufacturing professionals, automotive specialists, students, and anyone interested in EV innovation. All are welcome!Connect with fellow engineers, industry leaders, and technology professionals for an engaging discussion on the next generation of electric vehicle propulsion systems.Event DetailsDate: Wednesday, March 11, 2026Time:5:30 PM – Networking, pizza, and refreshments6:00 PM – Presentation and Q&ALocation:Oakland Community College – Auburn Hills Campus2900 Featherstone RoadBuilding T, Room T6Auburn Hills, MI 48326
