Rheinmetall wins new major order for electric coolant pump worth a three-digit million euro amount

By supplying e-mobility hybrid components, Rheinmetall has succeeded in making a long-term contribution to its own commitment to transformation. With this order, the Group is securing significant business in the field of e-mobility until 2030, and Rheinmetall also has the prospect of being able to conclude further orders in this area with the customer, who wants to expand the proportion of hybrid or electric drives in its portfolio across all model variants. The engine in which the currently ordered component is used can also be utilised on other vehicle platforms, for example.

Electric coolant pumps make a significant contribution to emission control in modern engine designs. A flow rate that is not dependent on the speed of another drive enables demand-orientated cooling. This reduces the power requirement and at the same time lowers friction losses, fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. The pumps can be used in both electric and hybrid applications. They are characterised by their compact design and are available for different power levels from 50 to 2000 watts.

Rheinmetall has made the electric water pump ready for series production.
