Technotrans Launches New Battery Thermal Management System

On August 26, technotrans will showcase for the first time its new battery thermal management system (BTMS) zeta.trax for on-road and off-road vehicles at the Busworld exhibition in Brussels in 2025. This energy-efficient solution features cybersecurity protection and meets the key requirements for new model type approvals. Thanks to high-voltage connectivity, the system can significantly reduce costs and complexity for automotive manufacturers. Additionally, technotrans will also present energy-efficient cooling solutions for charging infrastructure.

"With our brand-new solution, we have elevated BTMS to a new level and addressed the core challenges faced by automotive manufacturers: regulatory compliance, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability," said Jan Kühne, Business Development Manager at technotrans. "The cybersecurity architecture provides the necessary security for the approval of new types of vehicles. At the same time, we designed the system to significantly reduce integration workload and costs for our customers."

The brand-new zeta.trax is a flexible solution suitable for both pure electric on-road and off-road applications. Its key feature lies in its ability to meet increasingly stringent cybersecurity requirements. This makes technotrans' solution future-proof, with upcoming laws and regulations already taken into consideration.

In addition to the 24V DC connection, the all-new BTMS can also be directly connected to high-voltage vehicle electrical systems within a voltage range of 500 to 850 volts DC. This eliminates the need for additional voltage conversion components, reducing system complexity, installation space requirements, and overall costs for automakers. The base version of the new unit is designed with a cooling capacity of 6 kilowatts, but it can be expanded to meet higher performance requirements. Moreover, the new cooling system can be optionally equipped with low Global Warming Potential (Low-GWP) refrigerants, ensuring manufacturers are prepared for increasingly stringent regulations in the future.
