High-Performance Power Conversion for Electrified Transportation

As vehicle electrification accelerates across commercial, agricultural, and rail sectors, auxiliary power management becomes critical. Deutronic designs and manufactures high-density DC/DC converters engineered to bridge traction battery systems (up to 900 VDC) with low-voltage on-board electronics reliably and efficiently.

Built for the Most Demanding Operating Cycles

Modern electric and hybrid vehicles require power conversion electronics capable of withstanding constant thermal fluctuations, violent shocks, high mechanical vibration, and moisture ingress. Deutronic address these challenges through proprietary thermal management and planar magnetic designs.

  • High Input Voltage Capability: Support for wide input windows up to 900 V DC (DVCH series) and standard lower voltage ranges (DVC series).
  • Advanced Contact Cooling: Thermal dissipation via direct cold-plate mounting eliminates vulnerable cooling fans and minimizes housing volume.
  • CAN Bus Integration: Standardized CAN / SAE J1939 protocols for continuous remote parameterization, telemetry, and smart diagnostic monitoring.
  • Ruggedized Encapsulation: Full potted designs offering superior immunity to vibration, shock, salt mist, and humidity.

Target Application Sectors

Engineered for Global OEMs & System Integrators

Our power converters are deployed worldwide in heavy-duty off-highway equipment, e-busses, utility trucks, and passenger rail systems.

Mobile working machinery icon

Mobile Working Machinery

Construction machinery, agricultural tractors, mining loaders, and municipal vehicles operate under extreme dust, mud, and vibration. Deutronic potted converters ensure uninterrupted 24/7 auxiliary supply for control units, steering hydraulics, and cabin comfort systems.

Electro and hybrid vehicle icon

Electric & Hybrid Vehicles

From commercial e-buses and logistics trucks to specialized municipal fleets, our high-voltage DVCH series steps down traction battery voltages (400V / 800V class) to 12V, 24V, or 48V sub-networks with industry-leading efficiency and minimal installation footprint.

Railway sector icon

Railway & Rolling Stock

The rail transport sector demands uncompromising compliance with international standards (EN 50155, EN 45545). Deutronic supplies galvanically isolated DC/DC converters specifically designed for locomotive control systems, passenger information screens, and brake safety circuits.

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

Deutronic transportation converters cover standard 12V/24V/48V/80V battery networks with our DVC series, while high-voltage traction systems up to 900 V DC are managed by the DVCH converter platform. Both lines offer wide input tolerance to manage voltage spikes and dynamic loads.

Our vehicle converters utilize full vacuum encapsulation (potting) inside solid anodized aluminum housings. This guarantees resistance to dust, high-pressure washing (IP6K9K), salt spray, vibration (ISO 16750-3), and extreme thermal stress.

Yes. Converters feature integrated CAN hardware supporting SAE J1939 or proprietary CAN message structures. System integrators can monitor real-time temperature, output current, input voltage, fault states, and dynamically adjust output parameters.

All R&D, SMD/THT PCB assembly, mechanical construction, potting, and final test routines are situated in-house in Adlkofen, Germany. This setup enables cost-effective custom mounting brackets, modified connector types, and targeted firmware logic even for low-to-medium production runs.
