The topology of future electric vehicles requires complex thermal management. To address this requirement, Bosch offers a heat pump unit with integrated propane heat pump for efficient heating and cooling. This preintegrated solution reduces the complexity of the thermal management system. Propane (R290), which is commonly used in Home Comfort heat pumps, refrigerators, and tumble dryers, is both energy-efficient and more eco-friendly than existing refrigerants. Its use in electric vehicles highlights the broad application possibilities of this technology for sustainable mobility.
