The shift to e-mobility has a profound impact on drive system development. In their efforts to make the transition in a time- and cost-effective way, global manufacturers, OEMs and tier 1s are investing heavily in new technologies, and learning how to overcome new product development challenges. One area where huge gains can be made is…

The installation space that is available for a battery system is usually a limiting factor regarding the possible capacity and power of a battery system. A battery cell which, in contrast to standard formats, is produced in variable sizes and formats can be advantageous, since it can be adapted to an individual installation space. The…

A new generation of modular electro-mechanical flywheel energy storage systems are being developed for integration into different vehicle types and powertrain architectures. The ultra-high-power density of the flywheel provides an effective hybrid solution for conventional ICE powered vehicles and is equally suited to hybridise the battery energy storage system on board already electrified vehicles such…

Prof. Dr Robert Fischer, Chief Technology Officer, Engineering, AVL List GmbH Plenary Speaker at CTI SYMPOSIUM on 30 November 2021 at 08:45 am The last twenty years have been characterized by a continuous evolution of conventional transmission architectures (MTs, ATs, CVTs) but have also seen the introduction of new types like the dual-clutch transmission (DCT)…

Matthew Vanderlip, iDM Solutions Architect & Manager, System Strategy & Platform Engineerings, BorgWarner Efficient system integration for the EV market With an ever-growing trend towards electric propulsion there is also an increasing demand for flexible electrification components that meet the requirements of different vehicle architectures. By permanently enhancing the portfolio through development of innovative technologies…

The drive toward electrification is impacting every single area of drivetrain development, and lubrication is no exception. In the case of TotalEnergies, the company has been developing a range of dedicated EV fluids, under the brand Quartz EV-Drive MP, able to act as both a transmission lubricant and motor coolant. Hakim El Bahi, a research…

Image caption: Standardization of test benches for e-drives at top quality teamtechnik Group in Freiberg/Germany has thoroughly standardized its system platform for end-of-line test benches. This results in a reduction in development and delivery times and also in the costs for the test benches. At the same time, their quality of testing sets new standards.…
