The development of asynchronous traction motor for FXD1 power concentrated electric multiple unit（EMU） is introduced. The overall technical requirements of locomotive, motor structure design, motor electromagnetic design, motor characteristics, key technologies, and motor test are discussed. According to the technical characteristics of asynchronous traction motor, a prototype asynchronous traction motor is developed based on the research of key technical problems such as electromagnetic design, structure design and cooling design. The test results show that the asynchronous traction motor meets the technical requirements of locomotive，and verify the feasibility of the design scheme.
