Abstract: An electromotive machine having a stator (122) comprising a plurality of coils (120) and a plate (10) is disclosed. The plate (10) has a plurality of through slots (15) formed therein. A portion of the plate (10) faces a corresponding coil (120) and is located relative to the coil (120) such that, in use, heat from the coil (120) flows into said portion. A transportation system (91) including such an electromotive machine is also disclosed. Also disclosed is a coil (20) for an electromotive machine comprising a conductor being wound in a plurality of turns and having two ends (25, 35) located on the outside of the coil (20).
