Electrification and energy management

Electric vehicles depend on a steady and stable source of electricity to move – but also to run the many systems that enable infotainment, driver assistance, and more. By optimizing battery charging and controlling both the power received and delivered, power management systems provide cars with the energy they rely on.

In a vehicle, each major functionality — or “domain” — has traditionally been managed by a dedicated chip, with its own power supply and data transmission network. Today, this domain-based architecture is increasingly evolving into a “zonal” architecture, where controllers manage all functions located within a specific physical area of the vehicle. This shift simplifies the overall system design and, more importantly, significantly reduces wiring — a key advantage in modern, service-oriented vehicles that are growing ever more complex.

At FORVIA, we believe hydrogen is a key pillar of decarbonized mobility. That’s why we provide not only advanced storage solutions for hydrogen-powered vehicles, but also containerized systems for safe and efficient hydrogen transport and distribution. Our hydrogen storage tanks are cutting-edge technologies in their own right: they withstand extremely high pressures, ensure maximum safety, and offer lightweight, customizable configurations for all types of powertrains — from fuel cell electric vehicles to hydrogen combustion engines. Whether on board, in transit, or stationary at refueling stations, our solutions are engineered to bring hydrogen mobility to life — clean, efficient, and scalable.
