Modular concept for power electronics in electric cars

Electric vehicles will definitely contribute to realisation of the worldwide ambitious CO₂ goals. In order to improve the competitive situation, to speed up time to market and to reduce the overall cost for the end-users, a standardized set of power components, modules and sub-systems for electric traction should be developed by OEMs and automotive suppliers. This will improve reliability and maturity of the systems and enable a design-to-cost strategy.
