With the focus on e-drive solutions growing in the commercial sector too, that typical diesel sound could soon be a thing of the past. Delivery vehicles and city buses are switching first, but now e-drives are even being considered for long-haul applications – often in tandem with tomorrow’s fuel cell systems. CTI Symposium Berlin: The…

With the rapid growth and diversification of the electric vehicle market, there is a pressing need for light, compact, efficient, and cost competitive electric drive solutions able to be installed in a broad range of applications from low end to high end power. One of the main challenges is to be able to tailor the…

The development of new electrified drive systems for commercial vehicles is picking up speed. To reach the production/manufacturing stage effectively, New drive systems must first be tested and validated. Test benches allow for accelerated testing and validation even before other components and systems of the vehicle reach the production stage. Up to now, testing possibilities…

Gernot Goppelt, CTI Correspondent To better reflect the road to climate-neutral mobility, our CTI Symposia Novi and Berlin are expanding their range of topics for 2023. In addition to electric drives and components, the presentations and discussions will also cover topics such as sustainable mobility, renewable energies and upstream CO2 reduction. One question is becoming…

Traditional battery cooling takes the form of a plate, usually made of aluminum, with embedded channels for the coolant. The battery cells, which are usually surrounded by a metal sleeve, and the cooling plate are rigid. Direct contact, for instance due to manufacturing tolerances, always results in an air gap and thus poor thermal conductivity.…

DeeDee Smith, Luigi Marino, Brian Baleno Solvay Materials A significant challenge for eMotor 800 Volt designers is to design smaller and more compact eMotors. Successfully doing so allows for the potential to reduce the mass of both the eMotor and battery pack. A new slot liner material, Ajedium™ PEEK films, gives engineers the design freedom…

As electrification progresses, in-vehicle hardware and software architectures will evolve from distributed electronics to a “full car computer and zonal” model. We spoke with Patrick Leteinturier, Fellow Automotive Systems, Infineon Technologies, about these new architectures, new semiconductor materials, and the central role of “motion control”.

As the world moves towards an electrified future, the demand for permanent magnets is amplifying the already intense pressures on global supply chains. But in the sandplains of Western Australia, a small regional community called Eneabba is at the centre of what is set to become a globally significant and strategic hub for the downstream…
