Engineering intelligence

Technical reports built on original test data.

Thermal management, HVAC architectures, refrigerants, battery cooling — measured, not modelled from secondary sources.

Every report in this library is built on original physical measurement — laboratory tests conducted by SATTELO, calibrated 1D simulation, and validation data from real vehicle platforms. The engineering data in these reports was produced specifically for this purpose and is not drawn from published sources.

For Tier-1, Tier-2, OEM and investor audiences using reports as input to strategic or investment decisions, this distinction matters.

Published reports

Report 01
Automotive Air Conditioning & Heat Pump Systems — Comparison and Benchmark

A comprehensive analysis of AC and heat pump systems in contemporary electric passenger vehicles. Compares generic AC system architectures and specific heat pump configurations across major vehicle platforms including VW MEB, Tesla Model S/3/X/Y, BMW i3, Hyundai Ioniq 5 / Kia EV6, BYD Dolphin, and the Porsche/Audi J1 platform. Includes BOM and cost assessment, performance and efficiency simulation, and recommendations for optimised architectures.

In collaboration with SATTELO and SynErgy Thermal Management.

Report 02
Low and Ultra-Low GWP Refrigerants for EV Heat Pumps

Test report on novel refrigerant blends in a compact indirect heat pump unit, with direct comparison against R-1234yf and R-290. Combines laboratory testing, calibrated 1D simulation, and a drop-in vehicle test in a climatic chamber. Covers performance, efficiency, safety, and the practical implications of refrigerant transition for serial EV systems. The underlying test data was produced for this report and was not available from any published source before publication.

In collaboration with SATTELO.

Report 03
Battery Thermal Management for xEVs — Cold Plates Technologies

A strategy report on battery cold plates: cooling technology overview (air cooling, liquid plates, evaporation, immersion), deep dives on architecture and solid-state battery implications, OEM pain points and safety aspects, supplier benchmarks, and a strategic positioning framework for cold plate developers and manufacturers.

In collaboration with SATTELO.

Reports for individual clients

Custom reports follow the same methodology — built on physical test data and technical measurement. If you need proprietary benchmark data on a specific component, system architecture, or competitive situation, write to us. The output is data your organisation holds and your competitors do not.
