The Aachen Colloquium took place between October 5 - 7, as a virtual conference. Reflecting on the growing trend of environmentally friendly mobility, the new title is Sustainable Mobility, and we participated with a virtual booth as well as two presentations.

Unlimited Clean Mobility – Emission Management for EU 7 and China 7 Powertrain Concepts

Often, discussions and calculations of CO₂ emissions are based on a tank-to-wheel view. This means that emissions resulting from the production and recycling of vehicles, batteries, fuels and electricity are not considered. If considered, the carddle-to-grave comparison of different powertrains is put into perspective, depending on the CO₂ emissions of the powerplant mix.

48V HighPower – Much More Than a Mild Hybrid

Besides purely electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles will play an important role in reducing CO₂ emissions. So far, high costs and system effects on existing powertrains have prevented the large-scale adoption of these systems. By increasing the peak power output to 30 kW, our 48V HighPower system enables full hybrid functions based on 48V technology.
