Introduction – Press Release
Significance: MAHLE places particular importance on Delphi Thermal’s compressor
business, which has thus far been missing from its own range. It will now be rapidly
integrated into the group as a new unit. Air conditioning, powertrain cooling, and heat
exchangers for stationary applications, however, will become part of the Thermal
Management business unit.
13 Delphi Thermal production plants in Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, the United States,
Mexico, Brazil, China, and India, as well as three major research and development
centers in the United States and Luxembourg have now been added to the group’s
approximately 150 production locations.
MAHLE anticipates total sales of around EUR 11.5 billion for 2015 provided that the
global economic situation remains stable.

Delphi CVC Compressors
• Compressors are an area where Mahle most lacked and one of the main reasons for
the acquisition.
• Delphi Compact Variable Compressors (now manufactured and sold by Mahle) are
based on a swash plate simple harmonic motion mechanism.
• Variable displacement design provides:
– Smooth, continuous operation
– Improved operator comfort
– Improved fuel economy
– Improved dehumidification
• Compact design, better packaging, and lower mass
– Lower mass enhances fuel economy improvement
– Smaller diameter, shorter length for easier installation

HVAC
• “Our HVAC modules are tailor-made to the specifications of vehicle manufacturers.
Continuous improvements in efficiency, reductions in weight and pressure loss, as
well as the further optimization of acoustics are among our key development
objectives. Standardized components and design features help us to economically
develop and produce robust and high-performance HVAC modules.”

All quotes from Mahle website
Evaporators
• “Our flat tube evaporators deliver high performance in spite of their compact and
lightweight design. Our patented BehrOxal® coating technology modifies the
aluminum surface such that it assumes hydrophilic properties. As a result, water runs
off more easily, enabling the evaporator to dry more quickly. This makes the
evaporator more resistant to corrosion and less prone to unpleasant odors.”

• Features:
– Continuous climate comfort in the summer even during the motor-stop phases
– Helps saves fuel without a noticeable loss of comfort in the motor-stop phases

PTC Auxiliary Heaters
• “High-voltage PTC heaters provide a solution for plug-in hybrids, electric vehicles with
range extenders, and all-electric vehicles. In these cases, the powertrain does not
generate sufficient waste heat in the electric drive mode to warm up the vehicle cabin.
A powertrain-independent heating system capable of delivering up to 7 kW is required
to ensure an adequate supply of heat. The high-voltage PTC heater is an energy-
efficient, compact, and safe solution for heating the cabins of electric vehicles.”

Cabin Air Filters
• “All MAHLE cabin air filters are distinguished by low pressure loss and long service
life. The filter media used offer a large effective surface and filter even smallest
particles such as soot particles.
The latest generation of MAHLE filter media offers very good soot particle retention
and can be used regardless of the direction of flow. The measures that were
previously necessary to ensure correct installation orientation can thus be eliminated.”

Climate Controls
• “The PHYSIO-CONTROL® climate control system represents today’s most advanced
technology in terms of cabin comfort. This system offers customized air conditioning
based on individually selectable climate settings, i.e., fresh or neutral, variable
temperature distribution between footwell and head area, as well as variable and
individually adjustable air flow.
Our joint venture Behr-Hella Thermocontrol develops the necessary control
electronics for this system as well as the matching HVAC control heads that serve as
an interface between operator and vehicle.”

“Comfort” Vent
• “Unlike traditional vents, the patented “comfort vent” has not one, but two air ducts: a
helical diffused-flow duct and a centered spot-flow duct. The geometry of the diffuse
duct generates a swirl effect, spreading the flow over a wide area and creating a
‘cloud’ of air within the vehicle cabin. Instead of having an irritating effect on the
vehicle occupants, this is experienced as a diffuse, draft-free air flow. In contrast, the
spot-flow duct in the center provides a highly focused and precisely directed current of
air.
The vehicle occupants can mix and match these two types of air flow according to the
conditions and their personal comfort preferences, creating multiple ventilation
options:
– Draft-free ventilation: air flows through the diffuse duct and is spread over a wide
area.
– Direct ventilation: air passes through the spot duct, allowing a very direct flow
focused on a particular area.
– Traditional ventilation setting: a combination of diffuse and focused air flow,
corresponding to that of a conventional vent.”

Expanding Research and Locations
• In 2014, MAHLE’s research and development (R&D) expenses totaled EUR552.3
million (USD671.3 million, 31 December 2014), up 64.3% y/y from EUR336.2 million
(USD462.8 million, 31 December 2013) in the previous year. R&D expenses as
percentage of sales correspondingly increased from 4.8% in 2013 to 5.6% in 2014.
• In May 2015, MAHLE acquired all shares of Amovis GmbH. The acquired company,
based in Berlin (Germany), specializes in Heat Recovery Systems (HRS) using the
organic ranking cycle (ORC). Amovis was founded in 2003 and currently has 25
employees. The acquisition is expected to strengthen MAHLE's expertise in exhaust
gas heat recovery systems using ORC. The ORC system is an advanced
development of the steam cycle, in which the waste heat from the combustion engines
is utilized to generate electrical or mechanical energy. This, in turn, helps reduce fuel
consumption and CO2 emissions.
• In June 2015, MAHLE opened another manufacturing plant in Celaya (Mexico). The
company invested USD19 million in the 193,000 square foot plant, which is part of its
Filtration and Engine Peripherals business unit. The plant will produce air cleaner
systems, air ducts, air intake manifolds and carbon canisters for its customers in
Mexico. The plant is expected to employ 450 people by 2019.

New Business Cont.
• Volkswagen nominates 44 suppliers for collaboration
– Volkswagen Group has nominated the first 44 suppliers who will be collaborating
on a new common strategic level under the joint FAST (Future Automotive
Supply Tracks) initiative.
– The suppliers were chosen for their performance in their respective fields of
competence based on a systematic selection process.
– Mahle was chosen for HVAC
17
New Technology
• MAHLE develops control software to monitor battery consumption in PHEV
– MAHLE has developed a control software that helps manage battery energy consumption in a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV), saying says the control software can manage battery energy consumption through a combination of GPS (global positioning systems) and topographical road data. MAHLE says GPS provides the knowledge about the route before start of a journey, which helps the software to calculate the available battery power during a trip.
• Energy Efficiency Impact of Localized Cooling/Heating for Electric Vehicle
– The present paper reports on a study of the HVAC energy usage for an EREV (extended range electric vehicle) implementation of a localized cooling/heating system. Components in the localized system use thermoelectric (TE) devices to target the occupant's chest, face, lap and foot areas. A novel contact TE seat was integrated into the system. Human subject comfort rides and a thermal manikin in the tunnel were used to establish equivalent comfort for the baseline and localized system. The tunnel test results indicate that, with the localized system, HVAC energy savings of 37% are achieved for cooling conditions (ambient conditions greater than 10 °C) and 38% for heating conditions (ambient conditions less than 10 °C), respectively based on an annualized ambient and vehicle occupancy weighted method. The driving range extension for an electric vehicle was also estimated based on the HVAC energy saving
