A modern thermal system is a complex, multi-domain architecture balancing passenger comfort, battery life, and component durability. Zonal heating and cooling, refrigerant changes, thermal routing, and component packaging are all shifting to support electrification with modularity. While thermal control, logic hardware and software are increasingly valuable.
ITB is recognized as a benchmark voice in automotive thermal systems. We've hosted a dedicated annual conference on thermal management for many years, authored industry-leading multiclient reports, and conducted highly focused consulting assignments for global OEMs and Tier suppliers. This long-term commitment makes us a trusted advisor for strategic and technical investment decisions for thermal system evolution.
