Out 20th anniversary issue! The May 2023 issue of Vehicle Dynamics International magazine is now available online, with features including Polestar’s chief chassis engineer discussing how to optimise the dynamics of a performance EV, EV-focused developments in tyre engineering, and 20 years of dynamics highlights
SELL: The Eurecat technology centre has joined the Fatigue4Light EV chassis lightweighting project, contributing by developing new tests and computer simulation methods to better estimate the fatigue life of chassis components and select the optimal materials for lighter vehicle chassis
Three providers of automotive simulation technology have joined forces with the aim of disrupting and improving how chassis components for autonomous vehicles are designed, tested and validated
Lamborghini has developed the ‘monofuselage’, an aeronautics-inspired monocoque concept made entirely of carbon fibre. The chassis will feature in the LB744, the successor to the Aventador, with a 100% composite front structure, increased strength and torsional stiffness, and reduced weight
Delve into some of the LB744’s innovations, including how the ‘monofuselage’ aeronautics-inspired monocoque carbon fibre concept offers durability, torsional stiffness and weight reduction
The newly developed cubiX software – ZF’s first pure software product –controls all chassis systems to achieve a harmonious blend of smooth acceleration and braking, precise steering, and balanced damping. The intelligent networking of all chassis systems can enable optimally controlled longitudinal, lateral and vertical dynamics
With a diverse range of models, many variations of track widths and wheels, and an increasing number of driver-assistance systems, CV production requires flexibility for measuring and adjusting chassis geometry at the end of line
Pascal Zurlinden, director of performance engineering at Multimatic Special Vehicle Operations, discusses the challenges of preparing Porsche Penske Motorsport’s 963 for Le Mans Daytona hybrid, a new era of sportscar racing
Rivian Automotive has selected Tenneco to provide intelligent suspension and anti-vibration performance materials for its first two models: the R1T five-passenger pickup and R1S seven-passenger SUV
Elaphe and McLaren Applied are collaborating to create an in-wheel propulsion system, coupling McLaren Applied’s inverter technology with Elaphe’s direct-drive in-wheel motors and control software, and multiple-wheel drive controls and vehicle controls
