Key take-aways

Next Generation EV Powertrain

KEY TAKE-AWAYS

 Connectivity, autonomous driving, shared mobility and powertrain electrification are highly interconnected and are
expected to strongly impact the automotive industry

 A wide range of different types of electric vehicles will coexist for individual, shared and public transportation

 Modular and scalable platforms are needed to deal with diversification in electric vehicles

 The integration of connectivity and ADAS functionality will help to increase the electric range of EVs by predictive
driving strategies and clod based highly accurate range prediction

 Battery will remain the core component for E-Mobility. Modularity and scalabbilty will come together with highly
integrated cooling/heating. Battery housing will become a part of the vehicle body structure. Fast charging
capability is a key factor for long range EVs.

 Electrical drive units with integrated electric machine, transmission and power electronics will gain a higher
market share. Scalable concepts which are applicable to different kind of PHEVs and EVs in different vehicle
segments will gain price benefits.

 Skateboad chassis based platforms are likely to be extended to other vehicle segments like light duty vehicles
and people mover
