Altair has announced the winners of the 2023 Altair Enlighten Award, with Polestar, Toyota and Marelli among the companies who have made advances in enabling more lightweight vehicles
ZF has optimised the components of its electric driveline and combined them into a compact system with a claimed 30% lower overall weight and a torque density of 70 Newton metres per kilogram of drive weight. ZF is also launching a Chassis Solutions division
Nidec and Renesas Electronics are co-developing semiconductor technologies for a next-generation E-axle (X-in-1 system) that integrates an EV drive motor and power electronics for electric vehicles
With Google on software, Qualcomm on hardware, and now Valeo’s High-Performance Computer, Renault Group continues to develop its tech ecosystem and its advances in the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) value chain
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
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
A new simulation technology for the development of AVs and ADAS can accurately simulate how a vehicle’s sensor system perceives the world, enabling sensor systems to be fully developed in the simulated world. Key to the technology is ray tracing rendering, a SIL system that generates synthetic training data
A pedestrian target for ADAS testing has been launched by AB Dynamics and Dynamic Research, with features including active limb articulation and automatic synchronisation for a realistic gait
Following OEM assessments, Easyrain says its AIS anti-aquaplaning system and DAI detection software will soon enter the industrialisation stage, with virtual sensors for ice, snow and car setup in an advanced stage of development
