MAHLE at CES, Booth 5652Featured products focused on innovative product technology in thermal management and electrification showcasing efficiency in motion

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Jan. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At CES 2025, MAHLE will feature products focusing on innovative product technology in thermal management and electrification, showcasing efficiency in motion. Efficient thermal management is what makes efficient e-mobility possible. Highlights include the new technology kit for electric motors, a bionic battery cooling plate, the brand-new bionic fan and the new MAHLE positioning system for wireless charging, which was chosen as the global standard technology by SAE International. MAHLE will be on display at CES 2025 (Jan. 7- 10), Booth 5652.

“Electrification and thermal management are two major strategy fields for MAHLE, as we continue to position ourselves as a systems expertise champion in e-mobility,” stated Peter Lynch, Vice President Sales & Application Engineering and President, MAHLE in North America.

MAHLE will feature products focusing on electric drive and intelligent charging at CES 2025. The new technology kit for electric motors combines the advantages of MAHLE’s benchmark Superior Continuous Torque (SCT) and MAHLE Contactless Transmitter (MCT) electric motors. The “perfect motor” combines permanently high-peak power, contactless and wear-free power transmission, the absence of rare earths, and maximum efficiency.

MAHLE has developed a positioning system for wireless charging that allows an electric vehicle to be simply, reliably, and precisely aligned above the charging coil in the floor. This solution, recognized as the global standard by SAE International, now paves the way for the comprehensive and rapid market launch of this attractive alternative to wired charging for batteries and electric and hybrid vehicles.

MAHLE will feature a range of thermal products – two of them inspired by nature, the bionic fan and the bionic cooling plate. The new high-performance bionic fan reduces loud noises from fans under full load and when charging vehicles. It was developed for particularly demanding fuel cell and battery electric vehicles.

When optimizing the bionic fan’s ventilation blades with the use of AI, the MAHLE engineers took inspiration from the wings of an owl: One of the quietest birds in the world, the owl’s plumage has a noise-reducing effect. The bionic fan blades can reduce the fan noise of a truck by up to 4 dB(A) – this is equal to more than halving the sound output. The fan demonstrates a rule of 10’s – reduction potential of 10 percent in consumed electrical power and a unique fan design that is 10 percent lighter.

The bionic cooling plate, which is essential for battery-electric vehicles for heating and cooling in the car. Using nature as a model, MAHLE’s battery cooling plates, which ensure fast charging, long cruising range and long service life for sensitive lithium-ion batteries, make the complete system significantly more efficient with up to 20 percent battery life. MAHLE was able to increase cooling performance by 10 percent and reduce pressure loss by 20 percent. As a result, the battery can be reliably and homogeneously kept within the necessary temperature window.

Adding to thermal efficiency in motion, the next generation refrigerant thermal management module and the MAHLE e-compressor on display at CES 2025 are important for temperature control and service life. The Thermal Management Module offers simplified “plug and play” vehicle installation. It enables battery megawatt charging and is compatible with PFAS free R290 refrigerant. The MAHLE e-compressor shows off a compact design, reduces charging speed, and increases battery cruising range.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
