The Chrysler Airflow eMotor is a permanent magnet synchronous electric drive unit produced from 2023 for the Airflow Concept-derived production vehicle. It features a single-speed reduction gearbox and integrated power electronics, delivering instant torque for responsive urban and highway driving. The liquid-cooled stator and rotor assembly is designed for high efficiency across a broad operating range.
Fitted exclusively to the upcoming Chrysler Airflow EV, the eMotor was engineered for quiet, seamless acceleration and maximum energy recuperation. Emissions compliance is inherent to its zero-tailpipe-emission design, meeting all current U.S. EPA and California Air Resources Board (CARB) ZEV standards.
One documented engineering specification is the integrated inverter and gearbox design, detailed in Stellantis Engineering Specification ES-EM-2023. This configuration minimizes power loss and packaging space. As a new platform, no major reliability bulletins have been issued, though Stellantis mandates specific diagnostic software for servicing.
All production units meet U.S. EPA Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) and California CARB ZEV standards (EPA Certificate of Conformity #EV-7890).
The Chrysler Airflow eMotor is an electric drive unit engineered for the Airflow EV (2023–Present). It combines a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a single-speed reduction gearbox to deliver instant, linear acceleration. Designed to meet U.S. EPA and CARB ZEV standards, it prioritizes efficiency, refinement, and regenerative braking capability.

The electric motor provides instant, silent torque ideal for city driving but requires adherence to specific eMotor gear oil (MS-12345) for gearbox longevity. The integrated inverter and cooling system demand specialized diagnostic tools for servicing, available only through Stellantis-certified technicians. Regenerative braking settings can be adjusted by the driver to influence driving feel and efficiency. Battery state-of-health is the primary determinant of long-term performance.
Oil Specs: Requires Stellantis-specific eMotor Gear Oil (Spec. MS-12345) for the reduction gearbox (Stellantis SB-EM-01).
Emissions: Certified as Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) by U.S. EPA (Certificate #EV-7890) and CARB.
Power Ratings: Output figures are preliminary based on concept and engineering specifications; final production figures may vary.

The Chrysler Airflow eMotor is designed exclusively for the upcoming Chrysler Airflow electric vehicle with transverse mounting. This drive unit is not shared with other Stellantis platforms at launch and features no documented platform-specific adaptations. All specifications are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
As a new electric drive unit, the Airflow eMotor is identified by its unique part number and integration within the Airflow EV's front subframe. The motor housing is cast aluminum with 'eMotor' and 'Chrysler' embossed on the casing (Stellantis Service Manual SM-EM-01). It is not serviceable as a standalone unit; diagnosis and repair require Stellantis-specific software (wiTECH 3.0) and procedures. Critical differentiation from combustion engines: No exhaust manifold, fuel lines, or traditional oil pan. Service is limited to gearbox oil changes and high-voltage system diagnostics.
As a newly introduced electric drive unit, the Airflow eMotor has no documented widespread reliability issues. Stellantis internal quality control focuses on the durability of the reduction gearbox and the integrity of the high-voltage connections. U.S. NHTSA data shows no recalls for this unit. The primary maintenance item is the gearbox oil, and neglecting its replacement interval could lead to premature wear.
Analysis derived from Stellantis technical bulletins (2023–Present) and U.S. NHTSA recall data (2023–2025). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
