48V inverter
The 48V inverter is the electronic component driving the 48V electric machine, and can be integrated in any architecture beyond P0 (alternator position): between engine and gearbox, inside the transmission or on the rear axle. Valeo produces its own power modules based on transfer-molded leadframe (TML) technology, enabling a multi-sourcing strategy for MOSFETs. Valeo also offers flexibility in rear or backpack inverter position and in water- or oil-cooled eMotor cooling. Combined with an internal combustion engine, 48V hybridization brings up to 15% fuel-economy benefit on WLTP versus conventional stop-start, and 48V also serves the eMobility of light electric 2-, 3- and 4-wheelers.
