Modular Platform Approach for Electric Drive System in Commercial Vehicles

摘要

The electrification of commercial vehicles requires modular solutions to address the heterogeneous requirement regarding packaging performance scaling while at the same time considering the target conflict consisting of the number of variants on the one hand side and the cost pressure in the other hand side. With a modular platform approach for electric drive systems the requirements of light up to heavy duty commercial vehicles can be covered. Especially the high degree of modularization of the power electronics enables solutions adapted to the available packaging space. With regard on functional aspects and optimized efficiency the balancing of the interaction between electric motor, power switches and motor control has essential impact.
