Layout and packaging
Layout and packaging solution block
Vehicle traction inverter development requires a wide range of skills, expertise and resources. Ricardo offers a pre-developed set of transparent silicon carbide (SiC) inverter development solutions that provide diverse features & functions.
Our solution blocks have been developed leveraging the wider Ricardo capabilities to apply advanced options for differentiation. Ricardo’s solutions can be offered holistically or in “solution blocks” that can be tailored or customized.
Our layout and packaging solution block offers OEMs and suppliers with proven solutions to support with your electrification ambitions. Our layout and packaging solution block supports the implementation and development of clients' electrified inverter solutions with optimised form factors to support high-performance applications.
