Driving the electrification of heavy-duty vehicles

Currently, the development of electric buses for urban transportation is accelerating and both, smaller delivery vehicles and long-range trucks are following. The all-electric heavy-duty vehicle demands highly efficient semiconductor solutions in a range from some watts to several hundred kilowatts, spanning at least 5 decades of power.

Inside the vehicle, two parallel worlds of electronics coexist. One is the low-voltage domain supplying on-board functions from driver convenience to lighting in a 12 V or 24 V environment. High-voltage batteries, topping off at close to 1000 V, drive the other world. The largest consumer of power remains the drive train, followed by climate control systems for heating and air conditioning. Subsystems that include pumps, fans and compressors are omnipresent and require highly efficient semiconductor solutions. The link between those worlds are DC-DC-converters that replace the classical alternator, which is now obsolete.

Besides driving an electric vehicle, charging the batteries is an important topic. Several potential options for this exist. On-board chargers connected to three-phase supplies pose a potential solution if longer periods for charging are available. Opportunity charging to supply power on dedicated positions is a further option. Either wireless power transfer by inductive coupling is used or an electrical connection is established by pantograph. Charging the vehicle with high-power DC-chargers is the most powerful option. This currently allows charging powers of up to 350 kW. Operation with two chargers in parallel can even double the charging power.

White Paper about Electrified Heavy-Duty Vehicles

Electrification as a key to reduce emissions and improvements in energy storage technology along with developments in supplemental infrastructure enable the fully autonomous long-haul operation. Standardization for autonomous trucks, busses, and in-city delivery vehicles needs to improve to support cross-border or even cross-continental interoperability. This whitepaper covers the electrification of heavy-duty vehicles having a special focus on battery, charging, drive train, and power semiconductor aspects. Learn more about the technological bits and pieces to solve this global puzzle in this white paper.
