EV Market and Surging Demand
Electric vehicle sales surged past 20 million units globally in 2025, up 25% from 2024, as China, Europe, and the US lead adoption. For example, US EV sales hit a record 438,487 in Q3 alone, claiming 10.5% market share. Meanwhile, Europe boosted battery-electric cars to 16.4% share year-to-date. However, challenges like charging access and battery life persist, pushing innovations. Thus, technologies optimizing energy flow gain traction. Marelli’s new intelligent energy management system fits perfectly here. It addresses real-world needs in daily commuting, trucks, and buses.​
Marelli Unveils Modular Energy Solution at CTI 2025
Marelli launched its Intelligent Energy Management system at Berlin’s CTI Symposium on December 2-3, 2025. This modular tech integrates proprietary software with vehicle controls and thermal parts. It coordinates thermal, propulsion, and electronics domains seamlessly. As a result, vehicles gain better battery range and faster charging. Cabin comfort stays top-notch too. Giovanni Mastrangelo, Head of R&D, emphasized energy optimization as key for hybrids and EVs. Moreover, it supports Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs). Applications shine in urban fleets where efficiency cuts costs.​
Advanced Thermal Domain Optimization
The system excels in thermal management, controlling heating and cooling precisely. Decoupled algorithms handle complex flows, reducing losses. Excess heat reuses effectively, extending battery life and boosting sustainability. For instance, Matteo De Cesare’s keynote highlighted digital twin use in thermal development for xEVs. This cuts development time sharply. In practice, EV buses benefit from cooler batteries during long routes. Consequently, operational costs drop. Recent studies confirm such tech lowers life-cycle emissions by optimizing energy reuse.​
Propulsion and Electronics Enhancements
For propulsion, continuous monitoring adjusts power delivery in hybrids and EVs. Energy recovery maximizes range and resilience. Electronics domain enables smooth data exchange via CAN to Ethernet protocols. Sensors and actuators respond faster. Digital twins model subsystems virtually—electronics, thermodynamics, and more. Automakers iterate quicker, slashing costs. Kia’s IAA 2025 EV lineup showed similar integrated systems outpacing US rivals. Therefore, Marelli’s approach speeds market entry. Truck applications thrive with balanced power for heavy loads.​
Future Impact on Sustainable Mobility
Marelli’s software empowers customization, minimizing components for cost savings. It accelerates EV adoption amid 28% global sales growth. Challenges like grid strain ease with efficient energy use. Rural areas gain from reliable range extension. Overall, this tech drives greener transport. Hybrids transition smoothly to full EVs. Investors note such innovations fuel 2026 outlooks. In summary, Marelli positions EVs for broader applications—from passenger cars to logistics—ensuring efficiency and reliability.
