That passage does not answer the question of what is being halved.

I'm can't go around reading everything, so if a title is already bad, I might not invest into clicking it.

Yes. Emphasis on the word "particular" product.

So they've made a motor that has half the associated carbon cost of the current tech? If so, then are they claiming to cut carbon emissions in half when all motors have been replaced with theirs? Or... making them has half the cost of making current motors?

I'm asking what the specific claim of "halving carbon emissions". Just all of them? Some associated costs? All costs associated with electric motors once they're all this type? That's a very vague claim, is my point.
