Evolito evolved from YASA in 2021, the world-leading pioneer of automotive axial-flux electric motors acquired by Mercedes-Benz in July 2021, to exclusively commercialise YASA’s next-generation electric motor technology and IP for the rapidly growing aerospace market. Evolito is funded by a portfolio of private investors including B-FLEXION and Oxford Science Enterprises (OSE).
ILP graduates from Evolito measured and reflected staff diversity data and delivered training to all staff to tackle unconscious bias, increase awareness of the importance of equality, diversity and inclusion, and provide useful tools for practical application of best practice.


The Evolito team included:
- Natalia Narozanska, Mid-career leader (Project Lead)
- Katie Tidd, Early-career leader
- Hannah Denton, HR Leader
- Gareth Morris, Senior-career leader

Katie Tidd, Lead Materials and Process Engineer, Early-career Leader
I am proud of the learning I have taken away from the ILP. As an inclusive leader in my workplace, I ensure I provide people with a place they feel psychologically safe. I’d encourage other engineers to be aware of the many different types of diversity and of how this may affect their interactions.
