Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods are provided for avoiding intake air condensation. A thermal management system includes a propulsion system with an internal combustion engine and an electric machine. A power electronics system delivers power to the electric machine. A fluid circuit is configured to cool the power electronics system. Intake air of the internal combustion engine is circulated through an intake air heat exchanger. A controller operates the fluid circuit to collect heat from the power electronics system and to selectively deliver the heat to the intake air heat exchanger.
