Electric Water Pumps in HIC
HIC, a company specializing in automotive fuel pumps, has successfully developed an Electric Water Pump (EWP) following its Electric Oil Pump (EOP), further reinforcing its technological competitiveness in the EV thermal management component market.
● Smaller, Quieter, Smarter: Performance-Driven Design
HIC’s newly developed EWP features a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor, offering substantial improvements in efficiency and durability. By optimizing the motor design, HIC has achieved a more compact and lightweight unit compared to existing mass-produced models, without compromising on performance. This design not only contributes to energy savings but also enhances overall system efficiency.
Moreover, precision engineering of the pump structure and fine-tuning of RPM (revolutions per minute) have helped minimize operational noise, delivering a quieter and more refined user experience—an increasingly important factor in today’s EVs.
● EMI Shielding Ensures Technical Differentiation
As the number of electronic components in EVs continues to grow, the risk of electromagnetic interference (EMI) has become a significant technical hurdle. This is particularly true for motor-driven parts, which are inherently more susceptible to such interference. HIC’s EWP incorporates a fully optimized motor design and shielding technology developed through years of R&D, ensuring full compliance with stringent EMI standards.
By effectively suppressing EMI, HIC’s EWP offers both technical reliability and a clear competitive edge in demanding EV operating environments—delivering performance and stability where it's needed most.
● Global-Ready Design with Flexible Applications and Robust Quality System
The newly developed EWP is designed to provide flexible output performance while supporting a broad range of coolant flow performance requirements to meet diverse customer needs. This scalability allows it to be integrated into a wide variety of vehicle platforms. In addition, the flexible design enables customization to meet the specific requirements of different vehicle types and customer needs. HIC has also established a rigorous quality assurance system in preparation for full-scale mass production, ensuring it can meet the demands of OEM customers around the world.
A company official stated, “We are focused on securing solutions that meet the technical demands of the rapidly evolving EV electrification component market.”
They added, “Going forward, we plan to strengthen our competitiveness through continued R&D investment in electrification technologies and actively pursue business expansion not only with domestic clients, but also in key global markets.”
