Highly efficient turbochargers with variable guide vanes are currently a challenge in gasoline engines due to the exhaust-gas temperatures. However, this is set to change because of the combination ...
To address future growth in the city car segment, Mahle is currently developing a highly efficient, modular electric drive. The drive employs a 48 V power supply and integrates a synchronous motor ...
Urban mobility concepts of the future require new forms of businesses that will ideally consist of the old economy and new economy, and also provide a close connection to the socially relevant ...
To operate securely in automated driving modes, vehicles have to be able to receive information both about their immediate environment via sensorics and about a traffic jam beginning behind a bend. ...
With increasing connectivity, a ransomware attack can switch-off single cars or an entire fleet. Fighting against these risks requires comprehensive security measures to be integrated from the ...
The introduction of zero emission vehicles, both battery and fuel cell driven, is mandatory in terms of environmental protection. Magna Steyr Engineering, the Institute for Powertrains and Automotive ...
IAV has investigated the potential of close-coupled exhaust gas aftertreatment concepts for passenger car diesel engines in conjunction with new options for turbocharging and hybridisation. In the ...
City, traffic and mobility of people and goods – three closely linked factors shaping the development of today’s society. The availability and use of different means of transport has an impact on ...
A central element in the operation strategy of an electric vehicle is the vehicle deceleration by recuperation in order to maximise efficiency and range. As a consequence, the operation of wheel ...
With the new EA211 1.0-l TGI, Volkswagen developed an economical, environmentally friendly and agile power unit for the Group brands. In this article the engineers describe its development and ...
Everyone is talking about electric vehicles, but nobody can foresee how the markets for battery- powered, fuel-cell and combustion-engine vehicles will develop. Which overall CO2 scenario will emerge ...
Efficiency, safety and autonomous driving are the mobility megatrends shaping modern braking system design. ZF has developed a lightweight solution with faster deceleration of the light vehicles, ...
Due to increasingly strict global CO2 and emissions regulations, optimisation of conventional drive technologies is becoming a diminishing option, which can make only a limited contribution to future ...
Nearly all silencers have internal insulation, but the methods of installation differ, as do the effects. Insulation expert Isolite has developed a precisely fitting form element with no organic ...
As product development cycles get shorter and the number of vehicles grows there is a strong need for virtual development methods. One of them is ABS braking simulation. The BMW Group and Tass ...
The aim for the development of future electric-driven vehicles is to find lightweight design solutions that do not only fulfil specific design requirements but offer cost efficiency and ...
The main aim behind 48 V hybridisation is to cut the amount of CO2 generated by a vehicle. This technology is also playing an increasingly important role in reducing other emissions. The reduction in ...
Validation of brake control systems is becoming increasingly supported by simulations executed on test benches. Performance and test speed are largely determined by the degree of automation of the ...
Performance alone has not shaped the driveline configurations of today or likely those of tomorrow. Ongoing technology advancements place a higher premium on communication band width and ...
Awareness of fuels has now intensified following the strenuous efforts made in recent years in the engine sector to cut consumption. Against the background of the ever-graver impacts of climate ...
Electric vehicles and plugin hybrids need high-voltage drive solutions in order to drive on electricity only. In China, where electric driving is being strongly promoted at the large-scale production ...
A new rear axle system should rival the traditional multi-link rear suspension and short-long arm rear axle designs with regard to the performance required. A modular rear axle that combines high ...
