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 this new motor architecture and what it takes to build and scale a deep‑tech company in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving sector. A highly relevant discussion for engineers, technologists, and business leaders interested in the future of electrification, this episode provides a grounded perspective on where real innovation is happening—and what it takes to bring it to market. Key Topics:
- Talos Technology’s Dual Flux motor architecture and its real‑world advantages
- Reducing rare-earth dependency without compromising performance
- Designing electric motors for real operating conditions vs theoretical benchmarks
- Scaling deep‑tech innovation from concept to deployment
- Trends shaping the future of electric mobility and powertrain systems
Tune in for an insightful and technically grounded conversation with Manos Polioudis on the future of electric motor innovation.
