Technology advancements in the electrification of commercial and industrial EVs represents a more substantial movement in accelerating the net-zero transition.

Battery-based energy storage and delivery systems require many extensive subsystems and critical, smaller components for basic operation and regulatory approval.

In this eBook from TE Connectivity, explore the eMobility revolution, including V2X ecosystems, modernizing fleet telematics with 5G, the future of EV charging and more.

Take a deep dive into the environmental, connectivity, power efficiency, and application considerations of fleet telematics along with a look at the importance of an IoT ecosystem.

The global commercial vehicle telematics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.65% over the 2022-2027 forecast period.

Fleet Telematics requires precise and reliable location information. TE Connectivity offers small multi-band antennas that enable centimeter-level accuracy as well as high reliability.

An increasing number of cities are developing programs for vehicles and infrastructure upgrades, bringing about greater opportunities for design engineers to contribute new innovative designs.

Thanks to the demand for more and more battery powered devices and green energy technology, there is a tremendous amount of investment taking place to dramatically improve battery technology.

Addressing the Time to Charge Industrial and Commercial Transportation Vehicles

The automotive industry is focused on four points, developing new and improved vehicle architecture approaches to efficiently address these challenges.

Engineering the next generation EV powertrain connectivity brings with charging inlets, high voltage connectors, relays and contactors as well as miniaturized low voltage connectors for EV systems.

Society is demanding cleaner and quieter alternatives to gasoline and diesel-powered engines, making electric vehicles (EVs) clearly on a path to becoming a necessity.

Powertrain electrification, automation and increasing autonomy and the emergence of new mobility will have a profound impact on the electrical power and electronic architectures (E/E architecture)

We explore the transportation industry’s move towards electrification, which includes various (and competing) architectural approaches, each offering application-specific advantages

Automotive improvements have centered on key areas such as engine power and performance, safety, driver and passenger convenience, ride quality, fuel source, data-relay and entertainment.

Meeting future market demand for safe, efficient, and reliable vehicles begins with harnessing new technologies that rely on cleaner forms of energy.

An important step in automotive connectivity will be V2X technology. We are working on innovative ways to integrate this into intelligent transportation systems.

This white paper describes TE Connectivity’s vision for the next generation of mobility and its impact on vehicle architectures.
