ISCAD is a high power low voltage traction system. With a power of up to 200 kW or more and a battery voltage of 48 V, ISCAD is a game changing traction drive system. Counterintuitively, it is able to improve efficiency by up to 25 % compared to conventional electric drives due to outstanding partial load efficiency. After presenting a test bench prototype in 2016, an integrated compact ISCAD drive has been developed and implemented in a vehicle. This paper presents the first high power 48 V battery electric vehicle. The parameters of an integrated ISCAD system are presented and the car integration is described in detail. A vehicle simulation investigates the driving range of the demonstrator car for several driving cycles in addition.     «
