How AI Redefines Automotive Engineering Workflows

Théophile Allard, CTO and co-founder at Neural Concept The automotive industry is undergoing a structural shift. Development cycles compress from years to months, regulatory requirements multiply and customer expectations rise. The automotive industry’s structural challenges feel more burning than ever: deliver better vehicles, faster, without sacrificing quality or cost.

We Need to Talk About the Grounding Ring

Goeff Lewis, Technical Director, Duvelco OEMs love SiC and GaN [1]; higher switching speeds lead to more efficient motors, which in turn mean greater range or lighter, less expensive batteries for the same BEV range. Higher switching speeds, dV/dt, can mean increased displacement current coupled onto the motor shaft [2].

ePMC Meets VMC: Why Powertrain and Chassis Control Now Belong Together

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…

No-Compromise Propulsion for the Heavy-Duty Electric Pickup

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…
