MAHLE Powertrain offers a broad range of electric motor development capabilities.

Hybrid vehicles require the instantaneous selection of the most appropriate power source. For this purpose a coordinated energy management strategy is a prerequisite.

MAHLE Powertrain designs and develops high efficiency electric motors which are optimised for performance, durability, weight and cost, and appropriate for volume manufacturing.

Hybrid vehicles often require both high and low temperature circuits to function simultaneously for the IC engine and power electronics respectively.

A physical working prototype vehicle will always provide the most convincing demonstration, even when detailed performance modelling has been conducted.

Extended range electric vehicles offer a viable solution using an onboard generator (range extender), enabling a significant reduction in battery size.
