As part of Renault’s “Power Electronic Box” project – a new generation of traction inverters – we have secured the contract to supply the “Flex Cooling Power Module”, our innovative heat sink concept. This milestone marks Hirschvogel’s entry into a new business area, namely heat sinks for traction inverters in battery-electric vehicles.

Electric vehicles need to run efficiently, quietly, and with minimal vibration. To achieve this, the toothed transmission components in the drive axle must mesh perfectly. To find the best possible gear geometry in each case, we pursue a holistic, system-oriented design strategy in component development that takes into account and balances the interactions between the gearing, bearings, and the ro…

Battery electric vehicles make use of or combine different motor technologies, which in turn change the requirements for the rotor shaft integrated into the respective electric motor. At Hirschvogel, rotor shafts are designed and manufactured to meet specific customer requirements. This calls for an adaptable and flexible production system.

In battery-electric vehicles, which are increasingly software-defined, as well as in vehicles with hybrid powertrains, modern chassis and axle components must meet a wide range of sometimes conflicting requirements today – from basic strength requirements and NVH characteristics to sustainability.

At Hirschvogel Components Mexico, construction has begun on two new production halls, each spanning 7,500 square meters. The expansion of the San Juan del Río site is being driven by a major contract win, under which we will manufacture aluminum components in both Europe and North America in future.
