KEYNOTE PRESENTATION LED BY A CHINESE DESIGN CENTER, FOLLOWED BY A KEYNOTE PANEL OF EUROPEAN VEHICLE POWER SUPPLY EXPERTS

Chinese OEMs are largely working on developing low-cost vehicles; they are equipped with converters that have 5-10% less efficiency, and lower reliability. However, they have lower costs and much better packaging density. The question for European companies how is; do we agree to this benchmarking?

• This two-part session kicks off with a presentation led by a Chinese R&D design center, as they share their philosophy on vehicle power supply architecture.
•  In the second half, European experts take the stage to debate whether there is value to be gained in following the direction Chinese companies are taking.

PRESENTATION & DISCUSSION

•   Best practices to supply power safely for high availability requirements on your low voltage powernet.
