NEMA reported an increase of 6.1 percent in motor shipments during the fourth quarter of 2009 according to its latest Motors Shipments Index (MSI), released today.

Inflation- and seasonally-adjusted shipments of fractional horsepower motors rose for the third consecutive quarter, while integral horsepower motors saw only their second increase in the past seven quarters.
