Why Vehicle Motion Control matters for the powertrain Vehicle Motion Control (VMC) is shifting from a chassis-led specialist topic to a decisive development discipline for electrified drivetrains. As electrification and rising computing capability reshape vehicle architectures, motion can no longer be treated as the sum of separate domains. For powertrain engineers, that means traction, stability…

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…
