Our solutions for Electric Vehicles (EVs)
Electric Vehicles or EVs, is a term widely used to describe vehicles that are powered, fully or partially, by alternative energy sources instead of traditional fossil fuels. EVs play a key role in the transition toward more sustainable and low-emission mobility.
At Arteco we have developed advanced coolants tailored specifically to meet the distinctive thermal management requirements of these EVs, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. Our coolants feature the right additive packages that safeguards battery cooling plates, power electronic heat sinks in both fully electric and hybrid vehicles.
EVs include 3 main categories that each require a different thermal management approach:
HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicles)
Combine a traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor. The battery is charged through regenerative braking and the engine itself. HEVs improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions without requiring external charging.
BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles)
Vehicles powered by an electric motor, with energy supplied entirely by a high-voltage battery. Unlike hybrids, BEVs have no combustion engine and must be charged via an external power source. The battery stores energy; the electric motor converts it into motion, ensuring zero tailpipe emissions.
FCEVs (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles)
-
Uses hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity that powers the e-motor. FCEVs emit only water vapor and offer fast refuelling times with longer driving ranges.
Collaborative future outlook
Collaboration with system parts, battery, and fuel cell providers is crucial to stay up to date on the latest innovations and requirements related to these components. Additionally, China is significantly influencing the technology and pace of this shift, with various specifications issued by the Research Institute on Highway (RIOH) under the Ministry of Transport, creating mandatory legal standards for coolants in EVs and impacting global technology shifts.
We closely monitor this evolution and benefit from our global presence and participation in industry associations to maintain a comprehensive overview of the coolants market. Our product range includes diverse solutions for various applications, approved by several key OEMs, and meets major industry specifications, like GB 29743.2-2025 for BEV vehicles. Also, for FCEVs we are active in China and US within related working groups looking into the draft creation of GB 29743.3.
