This is even more important as e-mobility platform designers tackle the weight of vehicles – on the ground and in the air. New thermoplastics are providing a lighter alternative to steel and even aluminium, offering thermal and EMI interference advantages, as discussed on page 28. They’re even helping to reduce the size and weight of motors by replacing enamel on rotor wires. New potting materials used for power systems are helping to reduce the size and weight (page 36) of the next generation of power devices (page 50), giving higher energy densities, which is key to the latest developments for inverters (page 58). In the air, the invention of high-temperature materials is opening up new design options, while on the ground, new plastics are allowing the installation of high-power fast chargers for airfields (Grid, page 6). With Protean now part of Bedeo, we look at the use of in-wheel motors (page 44) as an additional way of reducing the weight and size of electric truck designs and other platforms.
