未来汽车——开发下一代功率模块的动力

Future Vehicles - A driving Force for the Next Generation of Power Modules

电力电子技术在汽车工业领域充当着越来越重要的角色。当氢动力燃料电池汽车仍然处于研究和开发阶段时,混合电动汽车技术已经成为汽车市场上的主流技术。汽车未来的设计方向正在改变,其最明显的迹象之一能够从北美和欧洲市场上为驾车者提供的日益增多的新型混合电动汽车展示模型上看出来。这种趋势也可能混淆功率模块和电机驱动器之间的界限。

Power electronics continue to play an increasingly important role in the automotive industry.Hybrid electric vehichle（HEV）technology is now entering the main stream auto market with hydrogen powered fuel cell vehicies still in research and development.One of the clearest indications that the future of vchicle desigh is changing can be found in the steady increase in the number of new HEV models being offered to drivers in North America and Europe.This trend is likely to blur the lines that separate power modules from motor drives.
