Abstract
Volume and weight of the propulsion equipment of a traction drive are most important features to provide more efficient transportation in the future. It will be shown how the converter technology for traction drives has improved its performance in the past decades and new developments are presented promising a further increase in power density. The machine and corresponding gear and suspension system is even more weight sensitive, and latest measures to increase the performance will be presented.
