研究開発のハイライト

MAHLE Powertrain has developed a modular battery module based on its own design. In the new architecture called M3x, the individual battery cells can be arranged horizontally, vertically, in single or double rows, depending on the application. The temperature-sensitive Li-ion cells are perfectly protected thermally, without any restrictions in terms of flexibility.

140 kWの電力を備えた電気自動車用の新しいトラクションモーターは摩耗がなく非常に効率的でレアアース（希土類）を必要としません。

バッテリーセルを誘電性流体に直接浸すことにより、急速充電中の過熱を防ぎ、熱を分散させ温度を一定に保ちます。

MAHLE makes the air conditioning system intelligent by moving the sensors directly into the HVAC. There, in the middle of the main air flow, they allow the system to be regulated in real time. Combined with the right MAHLE filter media, this approach reliably keeps harmful influences away from the interior.

Fuel cells need clean air. Modular air filters from MAHLE are available off-the-shelf. They reliably keep ammonia and harmful gases away from the cell, enabling an economical use of catalysts and protecting the cell from damages.

Fuel cells need pre-moistened air. The MAHLE humidifier removes the water from the exhaust air line and feeds it into the supply air in a cross flow. This ensures a long life of the cell through optimal humidification.

Vehicle electrification poses new challenges for thermal management. A temperature below 40 degrees Celsius is needed in order to cool the lithium-ion batteries in hybrid and electric vehicles.
