Cost drivers and production limitations for electrified vehicle traction components

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingPaper in conference proceedingpeer-review

Abstract

The automotive industry is shifting from internal combustion engines towards electrified
drivetrains, containing electrical machines, power electronics and battery systems. The
major hurdle in gaining customer acceptance for this type of drivetrain is the increase in
price, due to hybrid drivetrains featuring an additional power system and pure electric
systems requiring a major investment in energy storage. This paper details two of these
systems with regards to their production processes, supply limitations and cost drivers.
