New vehicle models rely on efficient electric drive solutions. We explain what EDUs are and why they have been attractive to many OEMs, presenting the most exciting solutions. Additionally, experts share their key learnings in developing EDUs and touch upon new technologies such as high voltage 800V inverters, explaining their role in electrification attempts.

Hybrid systems evolve fast, representing a blend of conventional and electric elements and combining power and efficiency in one powertrain design. We explore numerous systems within the hybrid powertrain spectrum that allow different lengths of purely electric operations and show how stored energy can be used on demand, providing support in certain driving situations. Find various architectures and options for hybridisation and individual applications.

Current storage technologies have not yet reached the end of development. Experts at hofer powertrain define limits to energy densities of battery solutions and forecast what can be expected from succeeding generations, touching upon topics such as profound technology change at the cell level and new developments of more powerful batteries.
