An automotive electric compressor functions by compressing refrigerant in a vehicle's air conditioning system using electric power. Unlike traditional belt-driven compressors, it operates independently from the engine, enabling more efficient and adaptable climate control, particularly beneficial in hybrid and electric vehicles.

Automotive e-compressors are primarily categorized into variable e-compressors and displacement e-compressors. Variable e-compressors can adjust their output based on the vehicle’s heating or cooling requirements, offering enhanced efficiency and energy conservation. These compressors cater to various propulsion types such as battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). They utilize different technology types such as variable frequency drive (VFD) and fixed speed, tailored to different capacities (small, medium, large) suitable for applications ranging from passenger cars to heavy commercial vehicles.
