Whitepaper - Optimized drivetrain and new semiconductor technologies enable the design of energy-efficient electric vehicles

Abstract

The traction inverter is the core component of the drivetrain in all-electric vehicles, making it the most essential system: The device plays a crucial role in enabling efficient and sustainable electromobility since it directly influences the power output and significantly affects the vehicle’s dynamics. However, to develop efficient electric vehicles the integration of complementary sub-systems and the utilization of cutting-edge semiconductor technologies are also vital factors that must be considered.
