Delphi Technologies says it is launching the first Combined Inverter and DC/DC Converter in the China market. For automakers, these components create a more efficient and cost effective solution delivering higher power density, integrated in a smaller and lighter package, Delphi claims. It says combining the inverter and converter eliminates extra cables, connections, hoses and housings.
New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) is China’s designation for plug-in electric vehicles eligible for public subsidies, and includes only battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). This product’s potential to deliver more efficient future electric propulsion systems, while also meeting the industry’s highest technological standards, has already attracted the attention of major automakers who have selected this technology to power their vehicles, the company says.
