Transport Electrification

Electrification of a vehicle is an activity covering a broad variety of disciples, such as mechanics, electronics, embedded software, vehicle integration, safety analysis… Triphase operates in several international projects and networks, enabling us to bring together a consortium of companies that is able to efficiently team up with the skill set in your particular organization and needed for your application.

In these consortia, Triphase focuses on

system design
selection of and advice on electric components (inverters, motor, generator, battery)
integration of electric drivetrain
energy management
electrical integration

System Design

The focus of Triphase is on the so-called third generation of electrical vehicles. The history of the electric vehicle began in the mid-19th century. An electrical vehicle held the vehicular land speed record until around 1900. The high cost, low top speed and short range of electric vehicles, compared to later internal combustion vehicles, led to a worldwide decline in their use. These vehicles are typically referred to as the first generation. At the beginning of the 21st century, interest in electrical and other alternative fuel vehicles increased due to growing concern over the problems associated with hydrocarbon fueled vehicles, including damage to the environment caused by their emissions, and the sustainability of the current hydrocarbon-based transportation infrastructure. The so-called second generation of hybrid/electric vehicles was born. These are mainly based on the philosophy and architecture of a typical combustion engine, in which a variety of ECU’s and/or communication buses are omnipresent.
