Press Release, 5 December 2025
At the 2025 CTI Symposium Berlin 2025, Marelli introduced its new Intelligent Energy Management (IEM) solution a modular, software-driven system designed to coordinate a vehicle’s thermal, propulsion, and electronic systems for hybrid and electric cars.
The IEM platform uses advanced digital-twin modeling and proprietary software to ensure efficient energy flows across heating/cooling, battery/powertrain, and electronic systems. This holistic approach helps maximize battery range, speed up charging, extend battery lifespan, and maintain cabin comfort — all while reducing energy waste.
In the thermal domain, the system intelligently manages heating and cooling to reduce energy losses and even recover excess thermal energy, supporting sustainability and lower operational costs. For propulsion, the system continuously optimizes power delivery and energy distribution to boost range and performance. On the electronics side, robust communication protocols (from CAN to Ethernet) enable seamless integration among vehicle sensors, actuators, control units — ensuring smooth, responsive operation.
Marelli says this modular system supports both hybrid and fully electric architectures, and is well suited for today’s push toward software-defined vehicles. The flexible design — including digital-twin development — also helps automakers accelerate development cycles, lower R&D costs, and bring advanced EV/HEV models to market faster.
With rising demand for efficient, sustainable, and connected mobility, Marelli’s new IEM solution could become a key enabler for next-generation electric and hybrid vehicles worldwide.
