Transportation Electrification in a Post Covid-19 World

Abstract

This plenary presentation will consider the roadmaps for transportation electrification across a variety of platforms and the technological developments which are going to be needed to make these visions possible. These developments will include the electrical drivetrain design and the applications of motor design and power converter topology choices as well as the impact of emerging technology advances including cooling techniques, integration, system optimisation and wide-bandgap semiconductors. Transport platforms discussed will include the requirements for automotive (cars), motorbikes and aeroplanes.
