New RHODaS Deliverables advance lab validation of power converters and thermal management for heavy-duty electric transport

The RHODaS project continues to make strides in accelerating the deployment of heavy-duty electric vehicles by addressing critical technological barriers. As part of this mission, RHODaS has recently published two new public deliverables, presenting experimental results and validation of key prototype systems that are vital for electrified road transport.
The first deliverable, “Experimental results and validation of lab-scale power converters prototypes”, details the outcomes of laboratory testing for innovative power conversion solutions. These converters are designed to meet the demanding performance, efficiency, and reliability requirements of heavy-duty electric vehicles. The report includes experimental methodologies, test setups, and validation of critical metrics such as efficiency under different load conditions and thermal behavior.
The second deliverable, “Lab Testing and Validation of the Thermal Management System” , presents validation activities on RHODaS’ advanced thermal management concepts. Effective thermal control is essential to ensure system longevity and performance, particularly in power-dense applications such as HDEV. This document outlines the testing procedures and key findings from lab trials.
These deliverables mark an important milestone for RHODaS in its contribution to the 2Zero partnership goals, pushing forward the boundaries of electric mobility for commercial and heavy-duty applications.
