South Korean company SK Siltron CSS is set to receive USD 544 million to expand a plant in Bay City, Michigan that produces high power silicon carbide wafers used in electric vehicles. Those components are critical EV drivetrains, including inverters, and electrical distribution systems, the department said.
The company is investigating the potential of lighting as a versatile and intelligent system capable of interacting with various functions within the interior. Its latest pioneering development (NightSight Assist) is based on a lighting system that can optimize the driver’s pupil diameter by inhibiting adverse effects caused by low-light conditions and thus improving the user’s vision.
Video: Even as the electrification megatrend grows, there are technology and policy interventions which could make the internal combustion engine (ICE) live longer than what many may expect today. Within the evolving energy mix for the transportation industry in India, CBG (Compressed Bio-Gas), which also found a mention in this year's Interim Budget, holds good potential. Being a carbon-negative fuel, it can also contribute to the country's journey towards carbon neutrality by 2070.
This year’s EVangelise introduced funding opportunities, apart from cash prizes and incubation support. EVangelise ’23 invited innovations from across various stages of development under three key EV technology themes - the Traction, Energy & Telematics, Intelligence and Connectivity (TIC).The winners will receive a total cash prize of INR 56 lakh.
Battery packs serve as the life force of EVs. This calls for a meticulous design and development process of EV batteries for their seamless functionality on the road. A few key aspects including spatial structure, electronic control, mechanical assemblies, and most importantly, thermal management systems are to be proficiently simulated for real-world use conditions.
