From components to systems: How Dana is redefining thermal management for electric vehicles
Sponsored by Dana As OEMs continue transitioning their conventionally powered vehicles to battery-electric, it takes more than just swapping out a few parts. Electrifying a vehicle requires a complete system overhaul — that includes thermal management systems. When it comes to vehicle design, thermal management is often an underappreciated engineering discipline — and it’s becoming… Read more »
Marquardt’s new E-Lock charge plug locking system
Charging plug locks secure EV plugs against unexpected unplugging, preventing possible damage to the system and protecting against theft of the charging cable (especially important in Europe, where many public chargers require drivers to use their own cables). German electromechanical manufacturer Marquardt has developed a new locking system designed to make charging safer and more… Read more »
New analysis: 40% of the federal vehicle fleet could be cost-effectively electrified by 2025
A new report from the Electrification Coalition and Atlas Public Policy finds that 97 percent of buses and light-duty vehicles in the US federal fleet could be replaced by EVs by 2030 at a cost savings to taxpayers, and that up to 40 percent could be cost-effectively replaced by 2025. The federal government is the… Read more »
AMPLY Power offers EV fleets guaranteed uptime and zero charging challenges
AMPLY Power says its charging as a service model provides 99.9% uptime, critical to scaling EV deployments Fleet charging management may not be the most glamorous segment of the EV industry, but it is emerging as an extremely important component of the future EV ecosystem. As commercial fleets electrify, they are finding that they need… Read more »
How silicone can help to optimize reliability and accuracy of EV and ADAS sensors
Sponsored by DOW Dow Silicones Help Optimize Reliability and Accuracy of ADAS Sensors Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are designed to increase vehicle safety and support autonomous driving by acting as extra sets of eyes. These sophisticated electronics help drivers spot obstacles and risks, maneuver and park more easily, take action to avoid or mitigate… Read more »
Laser bonding can cut battery assembly costs by 50% (Whitepaper)
Sponsored by F&K Delvotec Battery packs for e-vehicles are dropping in cost faster than ever predicted – this is one reason why the e-mobility markets are still growing at an expected 25% annual rate even over the next ten years. What is behind this drop in cost? It is not just the cost of cells… Read more »
An EV laggard reverses course—Australian’s New South Wales announces promising pro-EV policy package
Australia is one of the least charged of the world’s wealthy countries. During the 2019 elections, Prime Minister Scott Morrison characterized EVs as a threat to Australians’ way of life, and that seems to have set the tone for Australia’s EV policy, or lack thereof, ever since. Until now, there has been little or no… Read more »
Using thick-film materials in EV heating applications
Sponsored by Heraeus Electronics Thick film technology is well established in the automotive industry for high reliability circuitry, challenging sensor applications, and robust passive component needs. With the evolution of electric vehicle (EV) and battery management systems (BMS), the needs for thick film materials are expanding once again. Electronic content per vehicle is doubling and… Read more »
Drive Electro to supply components for another 200 electric buses in Moscow
Russia may not be thought of as an EV hotspot, but it appears that Moscow boasts the most charged bus system in Europe—the capital’s transit fleet includes 600 battery-electric buses, and that number is slated to increase to 1,000 vehicles by the end of the year. Most of the batteries and propulsion equipment for the… Read more »
