BorgWarner is set to supply its Combined Inverter and DC/DC Converter (CIDD) units to an unnamed European OEM. This product is designed to manage both a vehicle's electric drive and its accessory systems, and it maximises the vehicle's power density.

The HVCH is expected to go into production in Q1 2026. This is the second contract that has been secured for this product, which is specifically designed for the heating of a BEV’s battery and cabin.

Beginning in 2024, Modine’s facility in Pontevico, Italy will make products from the ‘EVantage’ line of thermal management systems, including battery thermal management and electronics cooling systems.

The ‘Permalite Apex’ is a thin 14-inch light strip which can be mounted in the upper corners of a dry box or refrigerated trailer, putting it out of the way of potential damage by forklifts and other loading equipment.

The investment will target Coherent’s silicon carbide unit, which will be separated into an independent subsidiary named Silicon Carbide LLC. This investment gives Denso a 12.5% non-controlling equity stake in Silicon Carbide LLC and most importantly secures access to and supply of SiC wafers for its electric components.

The German manufacturer showcased a new 'digital cockpit', which will become the standard for MAN and Neoplan coaches produced from next year, and premiered the ‘Lion’s City 12 E LE’.

“We’ve made huge progress in electric drivetrain technology since the last Busworld event in 2019. We’re particularly excited about our new HES580 3-level inverter, which increased the motor efficiency and will be the motor-friendliest inverter on the market for bus powertrains," said David Segbers at Busworld 2023.

The new vans, dubbed ‘TGE Next Level’, will enter production in May 2024.

The purchase will enlarge WEG's turnover and global reach substantially. The net operating revenue of these businesses in 2022 was approximately BRA 2.8 billion (USD541.5m), with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.5%.

The Satellite Technical Centre is to focus on end-to-end software, system engineering, electronics, and mechanical engineering, addressing core market trends in electrification, autonomous driving, and reinvention of interior equipment, notably lighting systems.

From now on, Volkswagen will specify to its Tier 1 suppliers which semiconductors and other parts it would prefer in its electronic components.

The new 17.1-kW 600VDC to 24VDC liquid-cooled converter boasts a much greater electrical efficiency at 96-98%, thanks to its silicon carbide semiconductors.
