ADAS technologies are fundamentally changing how vehicles interact with their surroundings and respond to dynamic driving conditions, writes K.A. Gerardino.
K.A. Gerardino explores three innovative approaches to clean mobility, highlighting their benefits, challenges, and the technological advancements driving their adoption.
Autonomous driving is considered a key innovation in road transportation in years to come. It sits at the forefront of vehicle technology and presents an opportunity for brand differentiation in a packed automotive market. Demand for autonomous driving is also trickling down the supply chain for systems and components that allow cars to drive and brake without human interaction. By K.A. Gerardino.
The long term solution for clean energy is decarbonisation, decentralisation and digitalisation. Hydrogen, being an energy carrier rather than a source, fits in this pattern.
Four engine manufacturers are currently participating in Formula 1, supplying a V6 hybrid with an electrically-assisted turbocharger. Which of these four will be the first to market this e-turbo on one of their production vehicles? Probably Mercedes-AMG, which has just announced that its next model will be equipped with this type of system, supplied by Garrett Motion.
While the European Euro 6d standard limiting pollutant emissions into the atmosphere came into force in January this year, the European Commission is working on several options for the content and date of application of Euro 7. To develop their next products, manufacturers are already basing themselves on reference values.
