Thermal Management

Solutions for energetic heat management in the vehicle

We optimize energetic heat management in the motor vehicle, engineer new components for it, develop digital testing models (digital mock-up, DMU), and simulate things like powertrain cooling, the oncoming flow on the vehicle, and air flow through the engine compartment, including trials and testing.
