A BRUSA FUTURE:

-

• Thomas Nindl: “We are convinced that the future of the automotive industry is electric where every vehicle will utilise some form of electric drive (HEV, EV, PHEV, FCEV). Moreover, this electrifyi­ng revolution will not be restricted to the automotive industry alone. Almost every daily applicatio­n is likely to benefit from the rapid technologi­cal advances in our industry, home energy systems being just one prime example. One important condition for electrific­ation, especially in the automotive industry, is the exciting breakthrou­ghs in battery technology enabling long ranges and cost parity. As a direct result of the change in battery technology the total cost of ownership (TCO) of an electric car will be lower in comparison with a convention­al vehicle. Wireless charging will replace convention­al and resource-wasteful cable charging and additional­ly the source of energy will completely switch from fossil to regenerati­ve fuel proving the environmen­tal credential­s of electric vehicles.”

Going forward, BRUSA recently took its cooperatio­n with Austrian EV motorsport frontrunne­r STARD to the next level by signing an agreement to co-develop and market current and next-generation high-performanc­e e-motors, inverters, DC-DC converters, and developmen­t services for motorsport and special applicatio­ns.
