About this episode

Manos Polioudis discusses Talos Technology's innovative approach to electric motor design and its implications for the automotive industry.

In Conversation with Manos Polioudis, in this episode of the eTech49 podcast, Ryan Maughan is joined by Manos Polioudis, Co‑Founder of Talos Technology, a deep‑tech engineering company focused on redefining electric motor design and next‑generation powertrain systems. Manos shares the story behind Talos Technology and its mission to rethink how electric machines are designed, moving beyond conventional architectures to deliver more efficient, sustainable, and high‑performance solutions. At the heart of the discussion is Talos’ proprietary Dual Flux motor technology—an innovative approach that combines different motor principles to unlock real‑world efficiency gains while significantly reducing reliance on rare-earth materials. The conversation explores the challenges of translating advanced motor concepts into practical, scalable products across automotive, aerospace, and emerging mobility applications. Manos discusses the importance of designing for real operating conditions rather than theoretical peak performance, and how Talos is addressing industry pain points around efficiency, supply chain dependency, and system integration. We also touch on the broader implications of…
