M.Sc. Kai von Schulz, M.Sc. Tilmann Linde, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Steffen Jäger Furtwangen University, Institute for Product and Service Engineering Reducing the sound emitted by the vehicle and the noise perceived by the passengers is an essential part of the development of modern (e-)vehicles. Bearings are crucial to the transmission of vibrations within the vehicle powertrain.…

Gabriela Achtenova, Michal Jasný, Jiri Pakosta, Rômulo do Nascimento Rodrigues Center of Vehicles for Sustainable Mobility, Czech Technical University in Prague Dog clutches are cost-effective but often suffer from angular backlash, causing discomfort. A novel, patented design has been developed to eliminate this issue using a purely mechanical blocking mechanism. This design, fully interchangeable with…

Bruno De Wachter, Independent Advisor, International Copper Association Since the publication of the EU Green Deal, e-mobility OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in Europe have been actively seeking ways to evolve towards carbon neutrality. For such a journey to be successful, open  communication across the entire value chain is essential. This article develops the case…

Liang XUE, Emmanuel PINOT, Emmanuel MATRAY, TotalEnergies Lubricants Technology and Product Engineering Flavio SARTI, Richard VERNAY, TotalEnergies R&D TotalEnergies Lubrifiants developed the first standardized specifications for Electric Drive System (EDS) fluids. This new performance standard is a first in the industry for hybrid and electric vehicles.

As automakers work to decarbonise, most are opting for powertrain electrification, an option that is driving growth in dedicated hybrid and electric vehicle transmissions. However, these systems present new performance challenges that require dedicated fluids to ensure their complete protection. As leaders in driveline additive technology and e-fluid formulation, Infineum has invested in the development…

Influence of lubricant on electrical drive unit In the rapidly growing Chinese EV market, for a new EV product to stand out, it needs to provide premier performance in range, NVH and reliability under all operating conditions, regardless of drive cycle (city, rural or highway) in climate extremes.
