Power Electronics, Thermal Management & Inspiring Conversations – this was RTR2026

RTR2026 offered a vibrant and energizing setting for the HighScape team. As part of the session “Power electronics for electric vehicles,”the project highlighted why power electronics play such a pivotal role in shaping the entire EV ecosystem – on equal footing with electric motors themselves. Together with us, the 2ZERO projects HiPE, SCAPE, Powerdrive and RHODaS were presented.

Eric Armengaud from Armengaud Innovate GmbH showcased the project’s ongoing work, that resulted in an inspiring Q&A Session and further deep-dives at the E‑VOLVE Cluster stand, sparking open discussions and great follow‑up questions.

What truly stood out at RTR2026 was the community atmosphere: spontaneous technical deep dives, experts exchanging ideas on impact, and a shared enthusiasm about tackling challenges in next‑generation vehicle electronics together. HighScape will continue its activities and we are looking forward presenting you updates from our WP5, Thermal Mangement, soon. Have a look at the presentations of this session here and take a look at our presentation on Zenodo.

A big “thank you” to all organizers for setting an inspiring scene of exchange!
