Automotive Solutions EV/HEV Traction Inverters Description The traction inverter controls the electric traction motor in EV/HEVs. It is a key component as it is responsible for the performance of the vehicle. Description For hybrid electric and full electric vehicles with no permanent running engine, an electric powered air-conditioning system is a must. Minimization of conduction losses and switching losses both at high- and low-current allows maximizing vehicle acceleration and driving range. During regenerative breaking, the inverter plays an important role in transferring energy from...

Automotive Solutions Electric Power Steering Description The electrification of the belt-driven hydraulic pump in power steering applications reduces the CO2 emission up to 6g/km (0.13oz/mi) and improves gas mileage. Further benefits include less maintenance and in the case of EPS, the elimination of hazardous hydraulic fluid. Description 48V mild hybrid vehicles bring more than 50% of the fuel and emissions savings of a full hybrid vehicle at a fraction of the cost. The 48V starter generator allows more than just start-and-stop by enabling passive coasting, regenerative breaking—and in...
