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

CTI Visual

Date: 17.09.2026 | Time: 1pm – 2pm

Vehicle Motion Control (VMC) is rapidly moving from a chassis specialist topic to a decisive discipline for electrified drivetrains. With software-defined vehicle architectures and centralised computing on the rise, traction, stability and energy recuperation can no longer be optimised in separate silos. Instead, propulsion and braking must be designed as one coordinated envelope—spanning software, electronics, sensors, computing hardware and actuators – with robust interfaces to steering and suspension.

Who should attend

This webinar is designed for professionals working in:

  • Vehicle dynamics and chassis systems
  • Electrified powertrain development
  • Brake systems and brake-by-wire
  • E/E architecture and software-defined vehicles
  • Controls engineering and systems engineering
  • Advanced development at OEMs, Tier 1s and technology suppliers

Learning Points

In this webinar, we unpack why electrification makes interdependence unavoidable: regenerative braking, brake blending and wheel-slip control require precise coordination between the e-machine and friction brakes (especially with brake-by-wire). What used to be “downstream” calibration becomes an early cross-domain design challenge – balancing efficiency, safety and compliance as regulations tighten and new methodologies (including AI-supported virtual development) reshape how complexity is managed.

You’ll also learn how electrified Powertrain Motion Control (ePMC) is emerging as an integral part of VMC, giving teams a shared language for the intersection where propulsion, braking and energy flows become one coherent control task – critical for performance, range and development speed.
