A major benefit of this multilevel architecture is the ability to integrate traditional system components—such as inverters and charging electronics—directly into the battery system. This eliminates the need for separate external inverters and onboard chargers. According to PULSETRAIN, this solution is compatible with all battery chemistries and vehicle applications.

The partnership will initially focus on a Proof of Concept (PoC) to demonstrate the technology's industrial feasibility and scalability. The joint initiative made its first public appearance earlier this month at CES in Las Vegas, where the concept generated significant industry buzz and positive feedback. Yazaki contributes its extensive expertise in the development and mass production of electronic components, battery connection systems, and high-voltage solutions. PULSETRAIN provides the core of the new technology: its innovative power electronics and software-defined battery management system.
