Mahle has introduced a new type of condenser for hybrid and electric vehicles which it claims helps accelerate traction battery charging.

This new design offers significantly higher power density than the current one. As part of the cooling system, the condenser is one of the components that ensures the battery is optimally cooled during fast charging and reliably protected against damage. The new condenser also provides sufficient cooling capacity for comfortable temperature in the cabin without taking up additional installation space.
