About
High efficiency, high power density, cost effective, scalable and modular power electronics and control solutions for electric vehicles.
Project Summary
Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are powered entirely by electricity. Since BEVs are not designed like gas-powered vehicles, there is no reason the architecture should be the same. The EU-funded HighScape project will explore the feasibility of a family of highly efficient power electronics components and systems, including integrated traction inverters, onboard chargers, DC/DC converters, and electric drives for auxiliaries and actuators.
To pave the way for zero tailpipe emission road mobility, the project will test its proposed solutions on two differently sized BEV prototypes. For instance, the project will introduce new solutions for the auxiliaries and chassis actuators, as well as higher levels of power density, specific power and energy efficiency.
The project consortium is composed by 12 European organizations and coordinated by AVL List GmbH, Austria.
Funded by the European Union under grant agreement No. 101056824.
