Future Technologies, Materials, and Markets for Thermal Management

The battery deservedly takes the major focus when it comes to technology development in EVs. But an EV's powertrain has to act holistically to operate with optimal performance and interact with the passenger cabin's conditioning system. This means that the thermal management of the motors, power electronics, and how this all interacts is just as important as the battery.

The Transition to Oil in EV Thermal Management

The EV market continues to develop, not just in sales but in technology. A critical technology aspect for EVs is the thermal management of the various components to keep everything operating at the optimal temperature.

Lubrizol: Oil E-fluids

Lubrizol is a key player in providing additives for various automotive coolants. Lubrizol is now looking to the electric vehicle (EV) market and coolants tailored to EV applications (specifically for this profile, oil type coolants that can be used for directly cooling EV drivetrain components).
