“Integration of EHRS in Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Platforms”
- A major trend shaping the EHRS market is the integration of waste heat recovery systems into hybrid and electric vehicle (EV) platforms to enhance thermal management and increase energy efficiency.
- Advanced EHRS technologies are being used to optimize battery temperature, reduce auxiliary load, and improve overall system performance in low emission vehicles.
For Instance,
- In March 2024, Toyota and Hyundai began incorporating compact EHRS units in their hybrid and plug-in hybrid models to recover exhaust heat for cabin heating and battery preconditioning. These innovations are helping manufacturers meet strict fuel economy and emissions standards while improving vehicle comfort and efficiency.
- This trend is aligned with the global transition toward low-carbon transportation, especially as hybrid vehicles act as a bridge between ICE and fully electric mobility.
