Development of net-zero powertrains

The next step is to develop a complete system following the V-model:

• Electrical and electronic architecture
• Mechanical and thermal design
• Development of control systems, sensors, actuators, and wiring harnesses
• Vehicle communication and overall integration

This approach ensures rigorous technical governance, as well as traceability, verification, and validation of complex systems, while maintaining a high level of reliability.

Current trends are moving toward increasingly complex systems with highly performant individual components.

Our teams’ approach is based on optimization at the system and vehicle level, relying on onboard energy and power management (EMS).

To ensure successful industrialization, we work with a network of strategic suppliers who are experts in their fields. Our teams manage:

• Component design and low-level software layers
• Monitoring of product characteristics and performance
• Overall system optimization

The experience of our teams ensures an efficient and smooth process, even when projects have tight schedules and/or require very high-performance levels.

When standard solutions are not sufficient, IAT designs and manufactures custom systems:

• Modified hydrogen fuel cells
• High voltage batteries
• Custom powertrain development for vehicles
• In-house small-series manufacturing

This approach ensures a complete solution across the entire value chain.

Our teams operate in unique and demanding situations:

• Track and bench testing for system or vehicle calibration and fine-tuning
• Field operations during testing campaigns or demonstrations
• Logistics for complex operations, such as hydrogen refueling of boats or handling heavy cargo
• Powertrain upgrades
• Technical support to anticipate and manage component obsolescence

Thanks to our motorsport culture and automotive experience, we provide an unmatched level of technical support, even in extreme conditions.
