Cooling solutions secure performance and longevity in e-vehicles. Li-ion battery operating temperature plays a decisive role in functionality and especially lifespan in high-performance batteries. Keeping to a constant…
Thermal Management
Thermal management of both the battery and passenger comfort systems remains one of the biggest remaining hurdles to the global adoption of Electric Vehicles. Electric Vehicles have to use battery capacity to heat the passenger cabin and regulate the battery’s temperature, both of which prefer to be between 20-25°C. This additional power-draw dramatically reducing the EV’s range. Even regenerative braking, a significant option to extend EV range, loses effectiveness in extremely cold climates.
As the demand for hybrid and electric vehicles continues to grow, a new generation of efficient, high-performing, reliable and environmentally-responsible electric motors is on the horizon. Axalta headquartered…
With the rising demand for alternative powertrain technologies, the needs and requirements for high-performance materials for structural battery parts are also increasing. Modified polyphenylene ether (m-PPE) and foamed…
Media-carrying components are essential for electromobility. To validate them for their application, valves and hoses, tubes and housings as well as cooling and heating systems must be tested…
Electrification is a Megatrend, not only for passenger cars and light-duty vehicles but also increasingly for construction equipment, agricultural applications, and logistics. Requirements are very different for working…
