NOVELTY - Vehicle cooling device (14), in particular for a vehicle drive battery, with a cooling panel assembly (18) comprises a first and a second sheet of metal (20, 22). The two sheets of metal (20, 22) are bonded, preferably by a roll bond process, at least one bonding region (30) and at least one cooling fluid channel (34) is formed as a cavity (32) between the two sheets of metal (20, 22). The two sheets of metal (20, 22) are spaced apart in the region of the channel (34).    USE - The vehicle cooling device is used for a vehicle drive battery (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The vehicle cooling device and vehicle drive battery cooling assembly are compact and require little installation space.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are:    (1) vehicle drive battery cooling assembly (10) for cooling of a vehicle drive battery (12), having at least one battery cooling surface, comprising a cooling fluid loop and a vehicle cooling device (14), where the cooling panel assembly (18) has a heat transfer surface (24) to contact the battery cooling surface of the vehicle drive battery (12); and    (2) a method for manufacturing a vehicle cooling device (14), by providing a first sheet of metal (20) with a first contact surface (26) and a heat transfer surface (24) and a second sheet of metal (22) with a second contact surface (28); roll bonding of the first and second sheets of metal (20, 22), where the first and second contact surfaces (26, 28) are partially bonded, forming at least one bonding region (30) and at least one detachment region; and forming of at least one cooling fluid channel (34), where a pressurized fluid is applied in between the first and second sheets of metal (20, 22) in the detachment region to deform the first and/or second sheet of metal (20, 22).
