Optimised high-voltage powertrains for sustainable electric vehicles (ODYSSEV)

Abstract

ODYSSEV is a Horizon Europe project bringing together a leading consortium of European universities, research institutes and industrial partners to develop next-generation 1200 V electric vehicle powertrains. By combining advanced batteries, Si/SiC advanced hybrid power electronics, high-efficiency motors, fast charging, thermal management and digital engineering, the project targets more efficient, compact and cost-effective EV systems. The complete powertrain will be validated in a C-segment vehicle, aiming for higher driving range, faster charging, reduced losses and improved reliability. ODYSSEV supports the transition from today’s 400–800 V platforms toward high-performance, sustainable and scalable electric mobility.
