Evolito Limited is collaborating with Airbus on Project SONATA, an electric wheel taxi system funded by the UK Government. The system allows aircraft to taxi independently with engines off, targeting a 47% reduction in emissions.

Evolito will develop a low speed, high torque electric motor using its axial flux technology, achieving 56Nm/kg and 350kW peak power. This partnership includes the University of Southampton and others, enhancing the aerospace sector's sustainability and innovation efforts. The project follows the successful UToPEA initiative.
