The Hyundai E-GMP (Electric-Global Modular Platform) motor is a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor integrated into Hyundai Motor Group’s dedicated EV architecture. It features a hairpin-wound stator, oil-cooled inverter, and an integrated 7-in-1 power electronics unit. In standard rear-wheel-drive form it delivers 168–225 kW (228–305 PS) with torque between 350–605 Nm, enabling 0–100 km/h in as little as 5.2 seconds.
Fitted to models such as the IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, and Kia EV6, the E-GMP motor was engineered for high efficiency, rapid DC fast charging, and dynamic performance in premium electric vehicles. Emissions compliance is inherent to zero-tailpipe operation, with full compliance to Euro 6d (as zero-emission vehicle) and UN R100 safety standards.
One documented engineering focus is thermal management under repeated high-load conditions, addressed through an integrated oil-cooling system for both motor and inverter. Hyundai Technical Service Bulletin TSB‑EV‑009 outlines diagnostic protocols for inverter temperature faults and confirms that all production units from launch include the full oil-cooling architecture.

All E-GMP motor applications (2021–present) are classified as zero-emission vehicles under Euro 6d and meet UN Regulation No. 100 Rev. 3 for electric safety (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9876).
The Hyundai E-GMP motor is a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor engineered for premium electric vehicles (2021–present). It combines hairpin stator winding with direct oil cooling and an integrated 7-in-1 power electronics unit to deliver high continuous power output and ultra-fast charging capability. Designed as a zero-emission propulsion system, it meets UN R100 and Euro 6d (ZEV) standards while enabling 800V architecture operation.

The E-GMP motor’s 800V architecture enables 10–80% charging in under 18 minutes using 350 kW DC fast chargers, but requires compatible infrastructure. The oil-cooled inverter ensures sustained performance during repeated acceleration or high-speed driving, critical for motorway use. Hyundai EV Motor Oil (P/N 00231‑21000) must be used—standard transmission fluids are incompatible. Regenerative braking is seamlessly blended with friction brakes via i-Pedal, reducing pad wear. No routine maintenance is required for the motor itself, but inverter coolant and motor oil should be inspected every 40,000 km per TSB‑EV‑009.
Oil Specs: Requires Hyundai-specific EV Motor Oil (P/N 00231‑21000) (Hyundai Owner’s Manual IONIQ 5/6). Not interchangeable with ATF or gear oil.
Emissions: Classified as zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) under Euro 6d; no tailpipe emissions (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9876).
Power Ratings: Measured under ISO 18488 standards. AWD output combines front and rear motors (Hyundai PT‑2024).

The Hyundai E-GMP Motor is used across Hyundai Motor Group's E-GMP platform with rear or dual-motor layouts and no external licensing. This motor received platform-specific calibrations—revised torque curves in the IONIQ 6 for efficiency and enhanced cooling in the Kia EV6 GT for performance—while maintaining core architecture. All variants share the 800V SiC inverter and oil-cooling system. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
The E-GMP motor is not stamped with a traditional engine code. Instead, identify via VIN decoding: 7th digit 'E' indicates E-GMP platform. Motor specifications are encoded in the vehicle’s ECU and accessible via Hyundai’s GDS diagnostic tool. All E-GMP motors feature a black aluminum housing with integrated oil lines and a single high-voltage connector (orange). Critical differentiation: IONIQ 5/6 use identical rear motors; EV6 GT and GV60 Performance use a higher-torque variant (605 Nm vs. 350 Nm base). Service parts are platform-specific—motor assemblies are not interchangeable between RWD and AWD configurations due to inverter calibration and gear ratios (Hyundai TSB‑EV‑009).
The E-GMP motor demonstrates high reliability with no widespread mechanical failures reported as of 2025. Hyundai internal quality data shows <0.5% warranty claims for motor/inverter faults through 100,000 km, while UK DVSA records classify all E-GMP vehicles as zero-emission with no drivetrain-related MOT failures. Primary service concerns relate to thermal management during extreme use, making coolant and oil integrity critical for sustained performance.
Analysis derived from Hyundai technical bulletins (2021–2025) and UK DVSA zero-emission vehicle monitoring data (2022–2025). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
