The strong growth in electromobility and the associated successful market launch of highly electrified vehicles requires a rethink by the entire automotive and supplier industry. At the same time, new trends, such as autonomous driving, are developing through progressive digitalisation and the use of highly automated technologies, to which the on-board network architectures must also be adapted.
This development requires a strong commitment from companies and institutes in all components involved: from the new on-board network structures, to power electronics, to battery production.
Electrics & electronics in hybrid and electric vehicles and electrical energy management: What does EEHE 2024 offer?
electric systems
in hybrid & electric vehicles
electronic systems
in hybrid & electric vehicles
electrical energy management
in hybrid & electric vehicles
The design of electric vehicles or electric cars (plug-in hybrids, full hybrids, micro-hybrids and vehicles with start-stop functions, etc.) is not only confronted with advancing developments, but also with ever increasing demands on costs and efficiency. Protagonists from research and science are facing up to the complex challenge and exchanging views on the important topics of the future together over two days at the EEHE – electrical + electronic systems in hybrid and electric vehicles, electrical energy management.
Who should take advantage of the conference?
- architectures and components for electrification, on-board energy networks, on-board systems and components
- electric charging with infrastructure
- electrical energy management
- low-voltage storage
- battery management
- power electronics
- E/E systems in the field of motor vehicles and commercial vehicles
Feedback
What challenges are developers and researchers currently facing in the field of vehicle electrics and electronics?
What solutions have been implemented, and what experiences have been gained from these approaches thus far? What trends can be expected in the coming years?
The presentations at EEHE 2024 will address these topics and cover the entire chain from the characterization of power electronic components and the evaluation of vehicle electrical system architectures to diagnostic and test procedures.

new investigations topics … work relevant in the fields of electronics and energy management.
Why should you definitely not miss the event?
Wherever batteries play a role, people like to talk about their limited range or useful operation time. But the battery is always only half of the problem. Reducing losses in the power electronics and innovative energy management are just as important. Less and smarter energy consumption extends ranges and operation time just as much as increasing the size of the battery. Here, the EEHE makes valuable and important contributions in the fields of electronics and energy management.

In your role as a member of the Management Board of HELLA/FORVIA in the Electronics business group, you are actively shaping the future of mobility. In your opinion, what are the biggest challenges at the moment?
In my view, the biggest challenge is that we have to work with our customers and partners to develop innovative and affordable products for the mobility of tomorrow in ever shorter cycles in order to survive on the market.

What challenges need to be overcome in order to introduce battery electric trucks on a large scale and how can these be overcome?
Manufacturers are catering to the early adopters among haulage companies. The focus here is less on costs – it’s about playing a pioneering role. The current stop in funding is a slap in the face for those hauliers who want to lead the way. To convince the rest of the industry, we need to keep the promise of lower overall costs for battery electric trucks compared to diesel. To do this, we need two things: cheap electricity and cheap batteries and therefore vehicles.

Why should you definitely not miss the event?
The world has moved on – despite Corona, Lockdown, delivery problems, … – and a lot has changed, especially in the fields of electromobility, autonomous driving and digitalisation. In addition, rising energy costs and the effects of the war in Ukraine are forcing the entire vehicle industry to become even more sustainable and optimise energy consumption and conserve resources.
At the EEHE conference on June 13/14, 2023 in Essen, there will be the opportunity to discuss these topics and much more in a personal exchange on site and to get the latest technical information. An attractive agenda with many interesting lectures and an extremely exciting plenary discussion on “Hybrid quo vadis?” await all participants.
Why should you definitely not miss the event?
The EEHE conference is a great meeting place for all those active in the field of automotive energy supply systems and components. The excellent selection of topics and the matching presentations is outstanding. Always well-chosen locations allow for a broad exchange of information and networking with new and old players from industry and academia.

To what extent will future voltage levels (48V/400V/800V) play a role within vehicle technology and safety?
All three voltage levels have their specific raison d’être. 48V is a cost-effective solution to make vehicles with combustion engines more efficient and to enable new comfort high-performance consumers such as active roll stabilisation. 400V has established itself as the quasi-standard for the powertrain in electrically driven vehicles and the 800V is used where more performance is needed for charging or in the powertrain. The special thing about the EEHE is that all topics are addressed there in a bundle.
Continuing electrification demands ever new developments within high-voltage and fail-safe onboard networks. What topics will the focus be on in the future?
In the past, progressive electrification was driven by additional comfort consumers and reductions in emissions from combustion engines. With the step towards an electric powertrain, high-voltage systems became necessary in order to realise the higher outputs. Currently and in the future, the on-board network will be strongly influenced by new assistance systems and the ever-advancing automation of driving. Fail-safe on-board networks are thus becoming increasingly important. This topic is another focus of the EEHE.
new investigations topics … work relevant
Why should you definitely not miss the event?
We have put together an attractive agenda for the conference with cutting-edge presentations from vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and research institutions with the familiar two parallel sessions and will return to the excellently equipped conference venue at the HDT e.V. headquarters in Essen in 2023. There is the opportunity to discuss questions together interactively and to use the times between the sessions for networking.

What current developments are important in relation to the event?
The next steps in power electronics (SIC – >GaN) especially for use in vehicle onboard chargers, but also in the area of drives (in electric vehicles) and associated increases in efficiency and reductions in installation space.
The further usable handling of the battery systems after the intended use (end of service life in the vehicle) – >the topic “Battery Second Life”.
Why should you definitely not miss the event?
Because you can keep up with the technical discussions with the experts on site and exchange ideas about future trends.
