Thanks to CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment), a virtual reality platform that can be used to move around outside and inside a vehicle during its design phase. At the Titu Technical Centre in southern Romania, Dacia teams have tested the fully immersive experience. As such, they optimised interior modularity and spaciousness on the All-new Dacia Jogger. Here is their story.
Product range for electric mobility applications supports reliable and safe performance of batteries, powertrain components, and on-board electrical systems.
The Top of the Range Lion S models of TGX and TGE from MAN Truck & Bus also impressed the 48-member international jury of experts for the Red Dot Design Award 2022: with the exclusive special features ex works that are popular with drivers, the long-haul truck and the van for light delivery and distribution traffic prevailed in the demanding competition of product submissions from around 60 countries in the "Commercial Vehicles" category.
Yes, you can test all components of a powertrain for electric vehicles, such as the battery, drivetrain, and inverter, in a real car and in a real environment. Or you can use all the advantages of simulation with power-hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems.
Imagine a truck that only emits water vapor, produces its own electricity onboard and has a range of up to 1 000 km. It’s possible with fuel cells powered by hydrogen, and Volvo Trucks has started to test vehicles using this new technology.
FEV and ProLogium Technology, a leader in solid-state batteries, signed a MOU to cooperate in the development of solid-state battery systems. Both parties are leveraging their expertise to jointly develop energy storage systems based on ProLogium’s unique solid-state batteries (SSBs) technology.
Webasto’s business in the field of electromobility solutions – especially battery systems – is growing more successful by the day. The supplier is exhibiting its product portfolio at the Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart.
Modern vehicles have a large number of electronic systems that are networked with each other. Since these systems are at risk from cyber attacks, Fraunhofer IPMS developed a CANsec IP core that makes vehicle systems more secure. The IP core is already being evaluated in a demonstration by partner Renesas Electronics Corporation, a leading semiconductor company that delivers embedded processors together with analog and power products.
Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation today announced that it has developed a superconducting motor to meet the needs of the mobility sector. This superconducting motor can realize lightweight, high-output density and high-speed rotation, and can be made available for large mobility applications.
The dual mass flywheel dampens torsional vibrations and thus allows the engine to run efficiently at significantly lower speeds than is possible with a conventional flywheel. This reduces fuel consumption. When replacing the DMF, garages should explain to customers that for optimal performance their vehicle's drivetrain relies on this damping function.
