What Happened
Against the backdrop of Spain's annual summer traffic operation, which is expected to generate over 100 million long distance journeys, MAHLE is promoting technologies that enhance EV range, comfort, and reliability. The company has developed a bionic battery cooling plate, a wear-free electric motor technology, a range extender system, and the HeatX Range+ thermal management system to address key challenges in electric vehicle performance.
“At MAHLE, innovation is not just about pushing technology forward—it’s about creating meaningful improvements for drivers, manufacturers, and the environment.”
10% improvement in cooling capacity
Reduces pressure loss by up to 20%, improving system efficiency and battery life.
- SCT (Superior Continuous Torque) delivers sustained high performance without thermal degradation.
- MCT (MAHLE Contactless Transmitter) transfers energy without physical contact, eliminating mechanical wear.
- Motor does not rely on rare earth materials, enhancing sustainability and supply chain stability.
Up to 1,350 km driving range (WLTP)
Generates electricity onboard via a high-voltage generator, eliminating range anxiety.
Reduces climate-control energy demand by up to 20%
Recovers cabin exhaust heat; adds nearly 10 km of range at -7°C.
MAHLE also promotes sustainable mobility through the MAHLE Eco Rallye Comunitat Valenciana, which it has sponsored since 2018. In 2025, the event became Spain's first carbon-neutral motorsport rallye. MAHLE has been in Spain since the 1970s, employing around 2,000 people across seven production facilities. Its Valencia R&D center employs over 100 engineers focused on electric mobility, and its e-bike division, MAHLE SmartBike Systems, is headquartered in Palencia.
Previously from MAHLE GmbH
MAHLE has been ahead of schedule on its climate targets, having cut its Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by nearly half since 2019. This track record aligns with today's announcement of EV technologies aimed at sustainable mobility.
