Thermal Management Driver
Integrating mechanical innovation with software intelligence to optimize development, efficiency and performance
The thermal management driver is an advanced controller that integrates hardware and software to efficiently manage a vehicle’s thermal system, including heat pumps, coolant flow, and refrigerant circuits. Powered by Hanon Systems’ Modular Software Library, the controller leverages proven, reusable software components for flexible integration and optimized control across the thermal domain.
By centralizing control of key components, it reduces cost and complexity, improves energy efficiency and performance, and enhances reliability, positioning automakers to meet the demands of SDVs with smarter and more compact thermal management solutions.
As thermal systems evolve from mechanically-driven subsystems to software-coordinated networks that optimize energy use in real time, intelligent control has become essential to achieving peak performance. Hanon Systems’ Modular Software Library, enhanced by platform engineering and generative AI, enables fast, flexible development tailored to each customer’s needs - reducing cost and time while maximizing the efficiency and capability of every product.
