A fluid-cooled electronic housing assembly (“FCEHA”) configured for mounting within a vehicle is described. The FCEHA may be part of a fluid-cooled electronic system (“FCES”) that includes the FCEHA and a plurality of electronic components. The FCEHA is capable of providing effective cooling for the FCES while maintaining a small space requirement by utilizing a fluid cooling system that cools the housing of FCEHA. In general, the FCEHA includes a cooling-fluid channel through a heat sink that, in operation, allows a cooling fluid/liquid to flow throw the cooling-fluid channel and cool off the FCEHA more efficiently that air convection because the cooling fluid is more efficient in heat transport.
