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…

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…

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…
