“We are glad to be on board such an outstanding electric vehicle like the BMW CE 04. The availability of new electric two-wheelers further enlarges the opportunities for users to enter into the mobility of tomorrow,” mentioned Hannes Prenn, President of Marelli’s Vehicle Electrification division. “The inverter technology is a key enabler to ensure efficient energy management in every electric vehicle. That’s why we continue to design advanced solutions in this field, both for four-wheels and two-wheels, to complement our electrification offer, that also includes electric powertrains and thermal solutions. This is part of our mission of driving e-mobility by delivering to our customers efficient, high performing, reliable and innovative solutions for their EVs.”
The inverter allows the conversion from DC (Direct Current) energy derived from batteries to a few section AC (alternating present) electric energy wanted for the electric motor. Motorcycle electric functions transfer the challenges to the next stage, as they’ve to suit stringent dimensional limits, must work in an exterior surroundings (dealing with excessive cold and warm circumstances, water, humidity, and so on.) and require excessive energy density.
In specific, the inverter for the BMW CE 04 electric scooter delivers 43.5 Kilowatt peak at nominal voltage of 145 Volt, with full efficiency (300 Ampere rms) in the 115-175 Volt vary.
In normal, one of these inverter developed by Marelli options distinctive traits similar to flexibility and a scalable structure, as it will probably have extra highly effective variations (as much as 450 Ampere rms – 348 Volt) becoming in the similar house and dimensions.
Also the inverter software program has been developed by Marelli, with BMW offering the automobile software program, hosted by an Electric Control Unit situated in the similar inverter case. The software program is compliant with Autosar (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) requirements and particularly custom-made for the diagnostic requirements required by BMW. Functional Safety necessities are compliant to ASIL B (Automotive Safety Integrity Level B) normal.
Marelli Vehicle Electrification has greater than ten years’ expertise in growing modern inverters for electric autos. The firm has been pioneering on this area, supplying one in every of the electric automotive fashions of a premium Japanese model with the longest collection manufacturing run. Another outstanding software is the 400 Volt inverter featured in a supercar of a world high sports activities vehicles model, that gives environment friendly conversion from DC energy to 3-phase AC with sensible e-Motor administration.
Marelli Vehicle Electrification has additionally particularly addressed the motorbike market, supplying applied sciences for the first high-performance electric bike to be produced in collection by a premium bike producer. Marelli supplied the full e-axle able to delivering as much as 75 Kilowatt at 200 Volt.
Marelli full inverters product vary contains high-performing 400 and 800 Volt applied sciences, designed to be versatile and modular, utilizing Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT), with silicon carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based energy gadgets in improvement. As an entire provider of all the key e-powertrain and thermal elements wanted to handle, management and optimize the full circulate of vitality in electric autos, Marelli develops and produces vanguard applied sciences for maximizing energy density and effectivity: along with inverters and energy electronics, these embrace electric motors, built-in e-axles programs and merchandise for managing all automobile thermal programs.
