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…
Continue readingTaurus: a powerful mix of industry standard and lessons learned through experience
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?

Geoff Lewis, Technical Director, Duvelco What is a New Material? Being ‘new’ is claimed with some regularity in the world of polymers; however, step changes in performance are less frequent. Here, I am going to look at an innovation that may pass the test and rightfully be called a new material. The polymer in question…

Kazuyoshi Hiraiwa, President, FINEMECH Shinji Morihiro, Representative, M Powerlabo Background of the proposal In recent years, the problem of BEV has become apparent, and the value of HEVs has been reevaluated. Under these circumstances, we would like to propose a next-generation HEV system. Purpose of the proposal This proposal is based on the THS (Toyota…
