Eaton has joined the Research and Innovation Group of the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA) to further its research into energy innovation, including electrified and traditional internal combustion vehicles.
The supplier recently launched its eMobility business unit, which combines products and capabilities from Eaton’s Electrical business with the current portfolio of Vehicle Group electrification solutions, providing a single-focused organisation to help OEMs achieve vehicle electrification objectives.

Eaton will remain focused on developing technologies which improve fuel economy and reduce emissions from internal combustion engines and support electrified solutions through eMobility.
CLEPA brings together more than 100 of the world’s leading automotive suppliers and more than 20 national trade associations across associated European sectors. It is comprised of various working groups, including The Energy and Environment Strategy Group as well as the Research and Innovation Group.
“Our partnership with CLEPA has been long-standing, however, the opportunity to strengthen this relationship by joining the research group really furthers our commitment to energy innovation,” said eMobility president, Jeffrey Lowinger.
“It provides us with a chance to speak regularly to the innovation teams of other tier one suppliers and opens up fresh possibilities for working on new projects in the automotive sector.”
