Why Choose NewBase for Autonomous Vehicle Systems?
Integrated Control Technology
As a core Tier 1 supplier for major manufacturers like Yutong and Sinotruk, NewBase offers unique advantages in smart technology, weight reduction, and cost efficiency. Our integrated systems combine air-conditioning, defrosting, cabin radiators, battery thermal management, and motor cooling into a single, highly efficient platform.
Energy Efficiency & Cost Reduction
Our variable displacement control technology combined with PWM speed regulation achieves flexible variable frequency operation. This results in over 30% lower daily energy consumption in low-temperature environments (-10°C) compared to standard heat pump systems, directly lowering your operational costs.
Key Performance Metrics
- IP67 Protection Rating (Dust/Waterproof)
- 30% Weight Reduction via Lightweight Materials
- EMC Level I Compliance for Safety
- Smart Cloud Platform Data Monitoring
Quality & Manufacturing Capabilities
NewBase's manufacturing prowess is backed by three R&D and production bases in Zhengzhou, Jiaozuo, and Huangshan, totaling 40,000 square meters. We possess comprehensive computer-aided engineering (CAE/CFD) simulation capabilities for capacities ranging from 3 to 35 kW.
Self-Developed Core Tech
By the end of 2023, NewBase became the only domestic enterprise with fully self-developed underlying control technology for new energy thermal management systems. This vertical integration allows for faster iteration and better supply chain security.

Global Supply Chain
We utilize premium components such as Highly DC Inverter Compressors, EBM Blowers, and Danfoss Electronic Expansion Valves. Our strategic transformation to Tier 0.5 complete machine R&D ensures we support global markets including the US, Spain, India, and Turkey.
How to Choose the Right Autonomous Thermal System
Selecting the correct thermal management solution for autonomous fleets requires balancing cooling capacity, weight constraints, and integration complexity. Here is a guide to help procurement teams evaluate options.
Standard Heat Pump vs. Integrated Systems
Standard Heat Pump: Ideal for basic autonomous shuttles where separate battery cooling isn't a primary constraint. Models like NBEAC-21 offer robust cooling (18kW) with lightweight design (150kg).
Integrated Battery Thermal Management: For advanced logistics vehicles, our integrated units (e.g., NBEAC-21-T) reduce costs by 30% and weight by 20% by combining AC and battery cooling into one roof-mounted unit. This is crucial for maximizing payload in autonomous delivery applications.
Key Selection Criteria
- Cooling Capacity: Match kW output to vehicle size (6-12m buses).
- Refrigerant Type: R407C or R410A for high efficiency.
- Control Precision: Look for PID control technology to manage uneven cooling distribution between cabin and battery.
- Noise Levels: Brushless fans and silencer technology are essential for passenger comfort in sightseeing models.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the energy saving benefit of NewBase heat pumps in cold weather?
Our low-temperature air injection and enthalpy increase technology addresses heating inefficiencies. Compared to standard heat pump systems, our units reduce average daily energy consumption by over 30% in regions with temperatures as low as -10°C.
How does integrated thermal management reduce vehicle weight?
By combining the battery cooling system with the cabin air conditioning unit, we eliminate redundant components. This integration reduces overall system weight by approximately 20% and lowers manufacturing costs by 30%, which is critical for maximizing the payload range of autonomous electric vehicles.
Are the components protected against harsh environmental conditions?
Yes. All key components, including the electric compressor and waterproof connectors, achieve an IP67 protection rating. This ensures they are dustproof, waterproof, and resistant to vibrations, capable of withstanding submersion without damage, meeting strict automotive-grade requirements.
Can the system be monitored remotely for predictive maintenance?
Absolutely. Our cloud platform big data system connects via wireless networks to enable large-scale data monitoring and analysis. Fleet operators can use PC software or mobile apps to track device status, perform diagnostics, and schedule maintenance proactively.
