• Bosch starts production of 800-volt technology for electric vehicles. Silicon-carbide chips increase energy efficiency of power electronics (inverter) up to 99%.

New I-pin technology increases power density of the electric motor up to 35% at 60 kilowatt per kilogram, reduces weight and allows a more compact design. This means that the Bosch motor achieves a maximum efficiency of up to 98%.

Bosch offers an innovative and extensive product portfolio, ranging from SiC chips to its complete powertrain units known as e-axles. Along the entire value chain, customers get the products they need for hybrid and electric vehicles – from passenger cars to trucks – from a single source. Bosch has now manufactured more than 3.5 million electric motors, and the same number of inverters. With engineering and manufacturing locations in the major markets, Bosch operates close to its customers around the world.

‘Perfect Motor’ Technology kit combines permanently high peak power, contactless power transmission, maximum efficiency and no need for rare earths. MAHLE has developed a new technology kit for electric motors that combines the advantages of its benchmark SCT and MCT electric motors. The “perfect motor” combines permanently high peak power, contactless and thus wear-free power transmission, the absence of rare earths, and maximum efficiency. “With this unique technology toolbox for electric motors, we can offer our customers customized electrification solutions for any vehicle class, application, or even brand philosophy,” said Arnd Franz, Chairman of the MAHLE Group Management Board and CEO. Electrification is a future strategy field within the framework of the MAHLE 2030+ Group strategy. Other fields include thermal management and highly efficient, green combustion engines.

 How HERE‘s Navigation solution improves the EV journey of the Lotus ELETRE

When Lotus was designing the digital cockpit for its first pure electric Hyper SUV – the Eletre – they wanted a fresh new system that would not only ease range anxiety but also give the optimal driving experience for their customers.

On-board navigation systems in electric vehicles (EV) need to consider not just vehicle information such as state of charge and battery capacity, but also external factors like road topography, geometry, weather, traffic, and even drivers’ individual driving patterns. Unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, charging stations are not yet on every city corner, so ensuring suitable charge points are available is critical for EV drivers to ease what is known as range anxiety. 

HERE Technologies has been chosen by Lotus to deliver integrated navigation services to the recently launched Eletre, in a collaboration that makes the Eletre the first vehicle in Europe to offer EV routing, range assistant and predictive routing. It is designed to mitigate range anxiety while also supporting a premium driving experience.  

“Specifically at Lotus, we believe that driving should be pure pleasure,” explains the Lotus representative. “For that we need to mitigate anxiety connected to range and charge availability. The driver can trust that the on-board system will provide them with correct and appropriate information when needed. This collaboration with HERE permits us to integrate this type of technology into our Hyper SUV, providing our customers the pleasure of driving an EV, with all the benefits of going green, but with less range anxiety.” 

The engagement of HERE Technologies enable a straight path to a more sustainable mode of transportation and enable a fantastic user experience when it comes to EV.
