Development Testing of Electric Powertrain Cooling Systems and Fluids

As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to evolve rapidly, the importance of optimizing every component within the powertrain is becoming increasingly evident. Among these components, the role of EV fluids is critical, yet often understood. Traditional fluids, designed for internal combustion engines, are not adequate for the unique demands of electric powertrains. This EV Fluids white paper from Intertek highlights how well-designed fluids can significantly enhance vehicle performance, efficiency, and durability.

Additionally, Intertek reinforces the importance of fluid testing and validation in the development process. They discuss the need for a meticulous approach to understanding the interactions between fluids and hardware. This includes addressing challenges such as high contact pressures, friction reduction, and materials compatibility. By integrating these insights into the design process, automotive engineers can achieve more reliable and efficient powertrain systems.

For automotive engineers looking to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving EV market, Intertek’s white paper offers valuable insights and practical guidelines. Download today to explore the in-depth analysis and recommendations that can help you drive innovation in your next EV project.
