Indeed, the Group has already been entrusted with the two thermal management systems as original equipment, for the new plug-in hybrid model and the heat exchanger for the mild hybrid version. Thermal management systems are an essential part of modern engines to keep the temperature under control and within the limits set by manufacturers, not just for the car\u2019s proper operation, but also to reduce consumption, limit emissions and increase the engine or ePowertrain\u2019s (for the Tonale Electric Drive Module &#8211; EDM) life span.<\/p>\n<p>To back the <strong>high-performing 1.5 Lt mild hybrid engine<\/strong>, <strong>UFI Filters provides the heat exchanger<\/strong> manufactured in one of its plants entirely devoted to thermal management systems &#8211; the Opole factory, in Poland. The coolant coupling on the UFI exchanger is held in place by a support obtained directly on the exchanger upper portion, during the component moulding phase. This allows for a sturdier structure, and prevents any possible deformation.<\/p>\n<p>For <strong>the plug-in hybrid version with 280 CV 1.3 engine<\/strong>, apart from the engine heat exchanger, UFI Filters <strong>also supplies the Electric Drive Module oil exchanger<\/strong>. Made of a vacuum brazed aluminium alloy, it features two quick oil couplings and two coolant couplings, for easier mounting.<\/p>\n<p>Innovation and passion have always guided the UFI Group, and have contributed to the success of this compact SUV that won everyone over: from UIGA (Unione Italiana Giornalisti Automotive), which awarded it the prestigious \u201cAuto Europa 2023\u201d Award, to the readers of the German magazine \u201cauto motor und sport\u201d, who voted for the Tonale as the \u201cBest New Design 2022\u201d.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column
