Dr. Reik Laubenstein, Engineer, IAV Automotive Engineering Inc. Dr. Johannes Werfel, Team Manager, IAV GmbH Batteries are the core component of electrified vehicles. However, conventional approaches, that heavily rely on physical prototyping and extensive testing, are too slow and costly for the pace that is demanded by the market. IAV implemented virtualdriven processes with smart…

Philippe Pauchard, Application Engineer at DuPont (Switzerland) Christoph Berger, Application Development Manager, DuPont (Germany) Electric erosion in bearings Undesirable parasitic electrical currents in traction motors can pass through roller bearings and cause damage known as electrical erosion. This phenomenon is characterized by electrical discharges between the rolling elements and the bearing raceways, leading to the…

How a 2-speed integrated e-Beam axle removes the final barrier to practical heavy-duty electrification Dan Ouwenga, Director – Product Management, Dauch The promise of electric propulsion has always been straightforward: instant torque, smooth drivability, reduced NVH, and lower lifetime operating costs. For light-duty passenger vehicles, that promise has largely been delivered. But for the heavy-duty…

Automotive drivetrain engineers aim to perfect and refine electric drive lines to the point where they operate right at the edge of what is physically possible. This requires simulation models, to act as cost function in the design process or to train reduced order models. These latter models should incorporate all physical loss and performance…

Alicja Stankiewicz, CTO, Coat-It Marek Turkiewicz, CEO, Coat-It Pollution kills more people globally each year than war, hunger, or disease. And at the heart of this crisis is carbon dioxide (CO2) – the primary greenhouse gas driving climate change.But what if CO2 could be split and transformed before it ever leaves a tailpipe?

Ivan Jovanovic, Team Leader Incubation InnoHub Cost optimization in modern drivetrain systems requires more than benchmarking—it demands structured, data driven ideation. This article presents an AI supported methodology that leverages largescale teardown intelligence to systematically generate and assess cost measures at component and system level. The approach bridges the gap between engineering detail and cost…
