Hofer Powertrain opens location in Vienna
The drive specialist Hofer Powertrain has opened a location for the development of electric drives in Vienna. The new branch, located near the Vienna Exhibition Centre, was officially opened a few weeks ago.
Hofer’s experts develop electric motors, inverters, software and complete systems at the new location in the Austrian capital. This is done “taking into account the growing market trend for 800V and higher high voltages, while at the same time meeting the ever-increasing demands for faster charging, higher power density, improved efficiency, and reduced production costs”, the company writes in its statement.
Hofer Powertrain adds that the company will also cover the entire product and service spectrum in Vienna, from concept development to simulation work and extensive testing to small-scale production. According to the company, the first “qualified automotive customers” have already been acquired.
Among other things, Hofer is working on a multi-sector overhead line charging concept. It relies on short overhead line charging sections for electric trucks installed on motorways and motorways.
Together with Vienna, the drive specialist operates 16 locations worldwide. Among them are locations in Germany, China and the USA.
