Trucks are the backbone of many businesses, especially those in the logistics industry. Warmer weather demands inspection of cooling and AC systems. But like other vehicles, they need proper care throughout their lifetime for optimal functionality. This is why regular inspections, maintenance, and smart driving may go a long way.

One immediate route to achieving these goals is the elimination of the housings of battery modules and bonding individual cells directly to the cooling plate, a strategy known as “cell-to-pack” [1-3]. Both gap fillers, with the aid of a liquid-cooled plate, help regulate the temperature of the modules to ensure safe and efficient performance.
