Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies and SB Electronics, a developer and manufacturer of film capacitor solutions, have entered into a technology partnership for launching the next generation hybrid electric drive systems.

As part of this partnership, SBE is providing a novel integrated capacitor/bus structure design solution for Quantum power electronics for automotive applications.

The SBE integrated module is an innovative approach which offers many benefits such as higher performance, weight reduction, smaller packaging and total system cost savings.

“Quantum continues to optimize and improve the efficiencies of our advanced electric drive-train products. We expect the SBE integrated capacitor/bus structure to enable substantial packaging and performance advantages in our next generation electric and hybrid-electric drive systems,” said Alan Niedzwiecki, CEO Quantum Technologies.

“SBE is pleased that Quantum Technologies is one of the first implementers of our advanced integrated capacitor/bus designs. We are proud to be partnering with a leading technology drivetrain provider like Quantum,” said Ed Sawyer, President and CEO for SBE, Inc.
