C-ECOS launches its tenth HORIZON EUROPE project with ENLIGHTEN

THI's CARISSMA Institute for Electromobility, Connectivity and Safety (C-ECOS) is one of the main partners in the newly approved research and innovation project "nExt geNeration 1200V eLectric hIGH volTage powErtraiN (ENLIGHTEN)". The project is funded under the EU research framework programme HORIZON EUROPE, has a duration of 48 months and will start at the beginning of 2025.

The ENLIGHTEN project aims at developing, integrating and testing a next generation post 800V electric vehicle powertrain with an indicative voltage level of 1200V. It targets a higher performing, cost optimized and more sustainable drivetrain layout that is also backwards compatible to the existing charging infrastructure with 1000V or 500V respectively.

The application at THI was jointly led by Dr Yash Kotak, Technical Head of the CARISSMA Institute C-ECOS and the project manager and head of C-ECOS, Prof Hans-Georg Schweiger, and supported by other team members.

The consortium of the ENLIGHTEN project comprises two automotive companies, one Tier 1 supplier and two SMEs. Their expertise is leveraged by the partnership with two research institutions and four academia/universities, constituting an ideal setup for strengthening the competitiveness of the European automotive industry.
