As the transition to electric vehicles progresses, manufacturers continue to face challenges in balancing performance, safety, and lightweighting. This 60-minute webinar will explore advanced materials and technologies designed to optimize powertrain efficiency, with a focus on e-motors, power electronics, and batteries.
Key topics include:
- Enhancing range and power density while reducing weight and charging times
- Advancing high-voltage insulation and enabling component miniaturization
- Achieving thermal stability and design flexibility
In this program, experts will share practical insights and real-world examples to elevate EV powertrain designs. An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.
