Innovative Traction Systems

By combining single-stage onboard chargers, integrated DC/DC converters, and T-type traction inverters, InnoTract delivers industry-leading power density through cutting-edge Wide-Bandgap switches and AlN substrates. This advanced integration is engineered for superior thermal performance, ensuring compact reliability while adhering to a strict eco-motivated, cradle-to-grave approach for truly sustainable electric transportation.

InnoTract is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of power electronics to create a more efficient, reliable, and circular EV ecosystem. Our core objectives include:

  • High-Voltage Power Conversion: Developing a universal-input bidirectional onboard charger and an ultra-wide range bidirectional DC/DC converter tailored for next-generation EV batteries.
  • Next-Gen Inverter Design: Engineering a very low-profile, high-availability traction inverter for optimized drivetrain integration.
  • Eco-Design & Circularity: Prioritizing minimum environmental impact through magnetics with high recyclability and a "cradle-to-grave" philosophy.
  • Advanced Engineering Excellence: Implementing hybrid EMI filtering and rigorous emission control.
  • Optimized Lifecycle: Focusing on Design for Reliability (DfR) and Design for Manufacturability to balance cost, density, and lifetime performance.
