Amorim Cork Composites has developed Amorim ETP700, a fire-retardant material with unique properties to meet the requirements of modern industrial applications, especially in the field of battery protection.
StarPower has introduced two three-phase IGBT modules for EVs, designed to save space, thanks to their compact design with six IGBTs in one housing.
A common feature of the modules is that they are fitted with trench IGBTs in an arrangement of six per housing with an integrated temperature sensor.
Comau has launched a comprehensive hairpin stator technology portfolio, covering everything in the manufacturing process from hairpin wire forming and insertion to wire widening, twisting, laser welding and quality testing.
Hybrids of all kinds hold out the prospect of the best of both worlds, but the engineering challenge often entails a lot of effort to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) that combine batteries and supercapacitor banks are a prime example, writes Peter Donaldson.
Peter Donaldson details the many processes involved in creating new motor systems.
As with any sophisticated industrial process, the development of motor systems for e-mobility is a complex and multi-stage endeavour, subject to rapid change under pressure, both to innovate and ramp up to high production volumes.
Manufacturers are harnessing the potential of the cheaper, clean energy for shipping and aircraft, reports Nick Flaherty
Fuel cells that convert hydrogen into electric power for e-mobility have a chequered past. This has been perceived as high cost, with issues when integrating it into powertrains and supplying hydrogen from pressurised tanks.
With lithium-ion batteries among the top causes of fatal fires in New York, Peter Donaldson talks to a company set on making e-bikes less risky
Peter Donaldson looks at the myriad processes enabling more efficient manufacturing of lithium ion batteries
Manufacturing lithium-ion batteries for e-mobility applications is a complex, costly and capital-intensive undertaking, involving multiple processes and consuming large amounts of energy and time.
With applications ranging from trucks to mining equipment and excavators, vehicle assemblers have a wide pool of requirements, as Nick Flaherty reports
Flexibility is a key requirement for heavy-duty electric vehicle (EV) applications. These vehicles are based on existing chassis designed for diesel engines, so battery packs with various chemistries have to be manufactured to fit a wide range of form factors.
