Parker Hannifin showcased the new Global Vehicle Inverter (GVI) series at bauma 2025.
The new second-generation GVI series was developed to meet the evolving needs of OEMs building electric and hybrid vehicles for on and off-road applications.
Building on the success of its predecessor, the GVI GEN 2 delivers enhanced motor control for both traction and auxiliary functions, improved safety features and greater design flexibility needed across multiple industries, including construction, mining, material handling, agriculture, and transportation.
Designed with scalability in mind, Parker offers the GVI GEN 2 in 75kW and 250kW, with a 125kW configuration coming soon.
GVI GEN 2 is also designed to meet the highest standards for critical automotive applications, including Safe Torque Off (STO), High Voltage Interlock Loop (HVIL), active and passive discharge, and high-speed overvoltage protection.
To maximize energy efficiency and longevity, the GVI GEN 2 incorporates advanced liquid cooling to reduce thermal stress for optimum performance under harsh operating conditions. The inverter series has a wide operating voltage, from 200 to 750 VDC.
GVI onboard I/Os provide enhanced connectivity, making it easier to integrate the inverter into existing systems. The GVI GEN 2 also boasts internal EMI filters, high-voltage PowerLok connections, and flexible mounting options.
