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 »
A look at material considerations for EV charging systems
Sponsored by Toray It is fully expected that electric vehicle (EV) sales will erode internal combustion engine (ICE) market share over the next 10 – 15 years and new global government regulations will ensure this holds true. A recent Deloitte EV market analysis predicts EVs will have captured 30 – 35% of the global passenger… Read more »
