Read MoreContinental has developed a new sensor technology that measures the temperature inside permanently excited synchronous motors in electric vehicles (EVs) directly on the rotor for the first time. The e-Motor Rotor Temperature Sensor (eRTS) delivers significantly more precise measurement results than the current software-based temperature simulation – with a tolerance range reduced from 15°C to just 3°C. This enables vehicle manufacturers to reduce the amount of rare earth elements used to increase the magnets’ heat resistance and to improve potential motor performance, which also means greater sustainability. The eRTS is one of several sensor technologies for EVs developed by the E-Mobility Sensors (EMS) product center in Continental Automotive.

Read MoreWACKER is all set to unveil a selection of silicone products for e-mobility applications at this year’s Battery Show Europe. The company will particularly focus on a new thermally conductive gap filler for applications in power electronics. Commercially available as SEMICOSIL® 9649 TC, this silicone product can withstand high thermal stresses. It ensures that the electronic components have a lasting bond with a vehicle’s active and passive cooling systems. The heat generated when a vehicle is in operation is thus efficiently dissipated. The Battery Show Europe will be held in Stuttgart, Germany, from June 3 to 5.
