Electric and hybrid drivetrains –
Challenges and opportunities
The development of new drivetrain concepts is an important area of innovation for the future of the automobile. They offer the opportunity to gain market shares and develop new markets. Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and pure electric vehicles play a key role in this. The following challenges play a significantly important role in the development of ECUs in this segment:
Measuring high voltages must be done in a safe manner.
The new functions must be developed quickly and reliably.
Very fast control functions have to designed and tested.
The high degree of software complexity has to be mastered in a reliable way.
The dynamics of the development environment require quick responses.
With many years of experience ETAS provides worldwide established and innovative products and services. This means ETAS is able to respond to the need for efficient development of hybrid and electric drives.
