　　更小，更平滑，节省能源：功率和传感进展更好的电机控制

　　电气化节能

　　节约能源的必要性正在渗透到现代技术的各个方面，从家用电器和个人运输到大型工业设备和泵站等公用基础设施。效率的提高可以通过组合将笨重的液压或机械系统更小，更轻的电气方案，并采用更有效的驱动控制和高效节能功率半导体升级现有的电动设备。

　　消费者和e-transport

　　诸如能源最低性能标准和能源等级标签等举措鼓励消费者选择更节能的电器，如冰箱和洗衣机。冰箱，利用先进的变速控制压缩机电机，代替简单的开/关操作，已被证明，以减少能源消耗显着，同时也改善温度调节和减少可听噪音。在洗衣机中，类似的，更小和更高效的变速运转的电动机允许先进的清洗程序，既节约了热能，又节约了用水。

　　就个人运输而言，电动执行机构正在无情地取代许多机制来提高当今汽车的燃油效率。据研究与市场（伺服电机与驱动市场：2013 - 2018）的报告，汽车和运输行业使用的汽车驱动市场预计在2018年底达到18亿美元左右。

　　Subsystems such as power steering and water pumps， which are traditionally driven mechanically from the engine， are being replaced by smaller， lighter and more efficient electrical alternatives. Electric traction is also on the increase， evidenced by the growing number of hybrid-electric vehicles （HEVs） in manufacturers’ ranges. The role of the internal combustion engine as a range extender for the HEV is expected to diminish as batteries， battery-management systems and electronic drives continue to improve， ultimately leading to widespread use of vehicles driven purely by electric motors.

　　Other forms of electric transport such as electric bicycles （ebikes） can further offset the use of conventional gasoline and diesel vehicles. The rising popularity of ebikes is driving double-digit growth of this market in Germany. Additionally， ebikes already account for 15% of all new bicycle sales in the Netherlands， as reported by online journal Bike Europe.
