Pioneering work High-Voltage Cables – Benchmark for Electric Mobility

Electric mobility is a hot topic that everyone is talking about today. Electric cars are only one expression of this trend: e-mobility can be found wherever there is motion. Regardless of whether bus, truck, train, plane, or industrial trucks such as forklifts, we are pioneering the development of high-voltage cables in collaboration with leading vehicle manufacturers to meet high electrical, thermal, and mechanical requirements.

Global Standard High-voltage and charging cables in series production worldwide

Our HV cables are used in series production at all leading vehicle manufacturers worldwide. Originally developed for the German market, the standard has become globally established thanks our utterly convincing-high-performance products. Our development successes at the system level are the basis for this, and our customers trust in our many years of experience in the development of high-voltage and charging cables.

Working together with several OEMs, we have come up with a basis for comprehensive and VDE-approved, quality charging cables. In the future, we intend to devote even more attention to e-mobility issues and continue to advance the development of new technical solutions, because the industry prediction is that the share of electric vehicles will rise to twenty-five percent by 2030.

The result of many years of development work

Reductions in space and weight thanks to optimized conductor structures and alternative conductor materials as well as the use of high-quality insulation materials
Automatable processing
Safety for people and machinery
Operational stability across the entire lifespan
Greater flexibility for automotive manufacturers thanks to very small bending radii

E-mobility – more than simply cars

The technology is not simply limited to cars. It can be found wherever anything needs to be electrically powered. Regardless of whether bus, truck, train, plane, or industrial trucks such as forklifts, there is a demand here for solutions which are our specialty and where we are in a position to meet the requirements.

In the meantime, many of our HV cable customers compare us with NASA: if we don’t know the answer, then nobody does. That’s a great compliment, and we also see it as an incentive and a challenge.
