Summary
This week, on The Driven Podcast, John Marcar meets Tim Woolmer and Jörg Miska from YASA LTD in Oxford, England. In 2005, Tim Woolmer was studying at Oxford University, with a particular interest in the future of motoring, specifically the idea of an electric-vehicle future. His specific area of interest was the Axial Flux motor, and despite the industry being almost exclusively focused on petrol and diesel power at the time, his interest later led to the founding of YASA LTD in 2009. 17 years on, and following acquisition by Mercedes-Benz, YASA now produces electric motors for the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini and Mercedes-Benz for both hybridised supercars and entirely electric platforms. In this week's episode, Tim (company founder and CTO) and Jörg (CEO) talk to John Marcar about their career histories, what YASA is doing today, and their thoughts on the future of the automotive sector. _______________________________________________ The Driven Podcast brings you motoring-focused discussions, observations from the automotive world, and interviews exploring our guests' careers, exploits, and anything else worth discussing.
