Volkswagen says it has developed a pulse inverter internally that improves powertrain efficiency by 20%. That's a really big deal.
. Batteries today do not have the same energy density as gasoline, and so in order to push a car or truck down the road using only battery power it requires every component to use electricity as efficiently as possible. Volkswagen says in athis week that its engineers have designed new powertrain components for its electric cars that are more efficient than the components used previously.
Oliver Blume, CEO of Volkswagen Group, says, “The Volkswagen Group and its brands stand for first class products and technologies. Thanks to the size and breadth of the Group, as well as our in-house expertise, we can leverage enormous economies of scale. This benefits our customers and makes our vehicles even better.”The pulse inverter is the brain of the electric drive train and is largely responsible for efficiency and performance.
Thomas Schmall, Volkswagen board member responsible for technology, says, “Our goal is to achieve technological leadership in electric mobility. That’s why we rely on our internal competencies. After battery cells and electric motors, we are taking over the development of pulse inverters and thermal management systems. In the future, this will make the Volkswagen Group one of the only car manufacturers in the world that is able to offer a holistically optimized complete system.
Daniela Cavallo, Chairwoman of the General Works Council of the Volkswagen Group, said recently, “The know-how and innovative strength of the Volkswagen colleagues are unique worldwide. Promoting and exploiting this strength again and again helps us not only in competition, but also in the transformation of the company.”
