Delphi (www.delphi.com) has increased its capacity to provide original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and hybrid device suppliers with advanced hybrid vehicle electrical/electronic distribution systems and components, as a result of the expansion of its Electrical/Electronic Hybrid Development Center within its Technical Center in Champion, OH.
Delphi’s Hybrid Development Center brings together dedicated component designers and advanced engineers, hybrid product and manufacturing process development, a hybrid prototype laboratory, and an accredited full-service test facility.
Among the products included in Delphi Packard E/EA’s hybrid portfolio are high-power shielded connection systems, high-voltage wiring assemblies, battery cell interconnects, battery-monitoring devices, battery service disconnect devices, and high-power electrical centers.
“As our hybrid business continues to grow, it made sense to further align our engineering resources and expand our development capabilities to meet the growing demand,” says Randall Sumner, director, Delphi Global Hybrid Business Development, Delphi Packard Electrical/Electronic Architecture.
The Hybrid Development Center is also in close proximity to Delphi molding and stamping facilities, which Sumner calls “a good fit” because it provides existing and potential customers the opportunity to see first-hand the full extent of Delphi’s manufacturing capabilities along with its product capability and hybrid portfolio.
