Automotive Power Train

A complete product portfolio for automotive powertrain applications

The powertrain subsystem of a vehicle is comprised of all the devices and systems in charge of propulsion of the car. This includes the engine, transmission, energy recovery systems, and electric motors and all their associated sensors and controllers.

Specific applications that fall under the powertrain subsystem include electronic engine control, battery control unit, starter generator, throttle control valve, and electric drive system.

KEMET offers high temperature options in ceramic, tantalum, and aluminum electrolytic dielectrics. Automotive powertrain applications require capacitors that can withstand harsh temperature up to 200°C and beyond. KEMET also provides reliable transformers for these high-power applications.

Automotive Chassis & Safety

KEMET offers a complete product portfolio for chassis and safety applications

The chassis and safety subsytems for a car all work in conjunction to provide passengers with highly responsive and accurate safety features such as anti-lock breaks and airbags. Those traditional features are sometimes accompanied by lane detection and crash avoidance.
