The industry-approved engineering software OPED (Optimization of Electric Drives) can do this automatically by combining parametric system models with an AI-based optimization algorithm and exploring hundreds of thousands of design variants within 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Development of Electric Drives<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-9433\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fig1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"408\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fig1.jpg 408w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fig1-300x251.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/>The development of electric drives (e-drives) is a highly complex and interdisciplinary process. Engineers must simultaneously design numerous electrical and mechanical subsystems (see Figure 1) that must optimally work together while meeting ambitious system targets for performance, efficiency, cost, and packaging. These objectives are often conflicting \u2013 improving one typically worsens another. Moreover, this highly challenging task must be solved under strong time pressure as it is critical for ambitious time-to-market goals. Therefore, engineering of electric drives demands digital tools capable of handling multi-criteria optimization and cross-domain interactions in an integrated way to quickly provide solid answers to complex questions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Revolutionizing the Development Process with OPED<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The software OPED fundamentally changes how e-drives are developed. Instead of relying on sequential design steps and manual iterations, OPED uses parametric system models combined with an AI-powered evolutionary optimization algorithm to explore the full design space automatically. The outline of OPED is shown in Figure 2: Based on specified e-drive system requirements, the design problem is encoded as a multi-objective optimization problem. The intelligent design algorithms then generate different e-drive designs, which are evaluated by system analysis models. Based on the calculated design properties, the optimization algorithm rates the generated designs and aims at improving them based on the best found designs so far. This closed loop of design analysis and synthesis continues until no more improvements are observable and converging behavior is present. Furthermore, self-learning artificial neural networks boost the optimization performance by guiding the optimization algorithm and directing its search towards promising design regions. Within 24 hours of computation time, around 50 design parameters are varied, hundreds of thousands of possible e-drive designs are evaluated, and the most promising ones are identified based on multiple concurrent objectives such as<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>performance,<\/li>\n<li>efficiency,<\/li>\n<li>cost,<\/li>\n<li>package integration,<\/li>\n<li>carbon footprint,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>and any other design objective \u2013 everything that can be calculated, can be optimized. The result is a Pareto front of optimal solutions, providing engineers and decision makers with a clear overview of achievable trade-offs and design potentials. By merging simulation, optimization, and system understanding in one integrated workflow, OPED enables rapid development cycles. Agility is key: every request for quote (RFQ) or sudden project change request (PCR) is replied with fast and solid answer, tailor-fit to the specific requirements. Taking informed decisions early ultimately leads to an optimal product-market fit for the e-drive system and a fast time-to-market.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9434 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fig2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fig2.jpg 630w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fig2-300x133.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Figure 2: From e-drive system requirements to optimal e-drive solutions with OPED<\/p>\n<p><strong>Master Challenging Targets of Package, Efficiency and Cost within 24 Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>OPED\u2019s strength lies in its versatility. The software can be applied to a wide range of design questions \u2013 from component sizing and material selection to system-level trade-offs and product family development. Moreover, as system requirements are often vague and uncertain in the early development stages, OPED can be utilized for requirements engineering. Another powerful capability lies in the full 3D package investigation: OPED not only finds designs that comply with a given 3D target installation space, it also provides possible packaging options within the available space. An example is shown in Figure 3, which depicts two possible design solutions for an e-drive: One with the smallest possible length and one with the smallest possible height (e.g., providing additional trunk space for applications at the rear vehicle axle).<\/p>\n<p>Besides package feasibility, both energy efficiency and cost are always critical and conflicting KPIs. To select the most suitable solution, OPED provides a Pareto front of e-drive designs (Figure 4), where each point represents one optimal design solution. Accordingly, engineers and decision makers are provided with a solid foundation for selecting the most suitable system solution respecting the specific goals of each vehicle application. As each design solution from OPED contains detailed technical information \u2013 including a 3D CAD model \u2013 a seamless and smooth transition from OPED results to the A-sample development is ensured. This makes OPED a powerful enabler for fast and digital electric powertrain development.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9435 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fig3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"456\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fig3.jpg 456w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fig3-300x121.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Figure 3: Example of e-drive packaging options; available installation space is shown in blue<\/p>\n<p>Concluding, OPED enables engineers and decision makers to<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>respond quickly to requests for quote (RFQs) and project change requests (PCRs),<\/li>\n<li>solve conflicting KPIs &amp; do requirements engineering,<\/li>\n<li>develop competitive solutions with product-market fit,<\/li>\n<li>design optimal product families, utilizing commonality and carry-over-parts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>OPED is established in practical use at a leading global automotive tier 1 supplier \u2013 with high potential forscaling across other suppliers and OEMs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9436 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fig4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"628\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fig4.jpg 628w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fig4-300x130.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Figure 4: Select the sweet spot of energy efficiency vs. production cost (vehicle model from [1])<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><br \/>\n[1] Holiday, D.

In moisture-rich settings, reductions of up to 50 % indicate that water may play a catalytic role in the<br \/>\ntransformation process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From Tourmaline to Transformation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Inspired by earlier research on tourmaline-infused asphalt, the tourmaline-based \u201cnegative ion powder\u201d was infused into a conductive coating and applied it to a diesel muffler. FTIR spectroscopy revealed that CO\u2082 was being split into graphite and oxygen, with water concentration directly influencing reaction efficiency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Next?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>COAT-IT is now developing durable, high-temperature coatings for commercial deployment. The next phase includes real-world trials using diesel engines and custom exhaust systems. The goal: to quantify transformation products and optimize substrate design for maximum pollution reduction.<\/p>\n<p>If successful, this technology could redefine emissions control \u2013 turning exhaust systems into active climate solutions.<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/article><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <div class=\"post-wrapper shadow rounded-2xl bg-white\">\n        <article class=\"post relative\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" data-id=\"9421\" data-categories=\"[22,8,16]\">\n    <div class=\"post-body\" itemprop=\"articleBody\">\n                        <div class=\"article-image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/data-driven-cost-measure-generation-for-automotive-systems-using-teardown-intelligence-and-ai\/\" title=\"Data Driven Cost Measure Generation for Automotive Systems Using Teardown Intelligence and AI\" target=\"_blank\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mx-auto rounded-t-2xl\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A2MAC1-Vehicle-Teardown-768x388.png\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                        <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"article-content p-6 prose prose-sm max-w-none\">\n            <h2 class=\"mt-0 text-base leading-snug\"><a class=\"font-semibold\" href=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/data-driven-cost-measure-generation-for-automotive-systems-using-teardown-intelligence-and-ai\/\" title=\"Data Driven Cost Measure Generation for Automotive Systems Using Teardown Intelligence and AI\">Data Driven Cost Measure Generation for Automotive Systems Using Teardown Intelligence and AI<\/a><\/h2>\n            <time class=\"post-date\" style=\"font-size: 12px; display: block;\" datetime=\"2026-04-14T12:50:21Z\" itemprop=\"datePublished\">\n                Posted on 14th April 2026\n            <\/time>\n                            <p>Ivan Jovanovic, Team Leader Incubation InnoHub Cost optimization in modern drivetrain systems requires more than benchmarking\u2014it 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 strategy decision-making.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Automotive drivetrain systems are undergoing rapid transformation driven by electrification, increasing system complexity, and mounting cost pressure. Engineering teams are expected to identify cost reduction opportunities earlier and with greater confidence, while preserving performance, quality, and compliance. Traditional cost<\/p>\n<p>engineering approaches\u2014often based on expert workshops, static benchmarks, or manual analysis\u2014struggle to scale with the growing volume and complexity of available technical data.<\/p>\n<p>This article presents a structured, data driven approach for generating cost measures for systems using largescale teardown intelligence combined with AI supported analysis. The methodology is designed to support engineers and cost analysts in identifying, structuring, and prioritizing cost measures based on factual technical evidence rather than assumptions or isolated examples.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Teardown databases today contain thousands of components, materials, manufacturing processes, and architectural design choices across vehicle generations and OEMs. While this data provides a rich foundation for cost insights, extracting actionable cost measures remains challenging due to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High data volume and heterogeneity<\/li>\n<li>Limited traceability between design choices and cost impact<\/li>\n<li>Dependence on individual expertise to formulate improvement ideas<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty comparing alternative technical solutions at scale<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As drivetrain architectures evolve\u2014especially in electrified powertrains\u2014there is a growing need for systematic methods that transform teardown data into concrete, reusable cost measures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The presented approach is based on three core technical pillars:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Structured Teardown Intelligence Componentlevel teardown data is normalized across materials, geometries, manufacturing processes, and system architectures. This enables cross vehicle and cross-generation comparisons within subsystems.<\/li>\n<li>Cost Measure Pattern Identification Historical teardown data is analyzed to identify recurring cost relevant design patterns, such as material substitutions, part integration, geometry changes, or process shifts. These patterns are abstracted into reusable cost measure templates that are independent of a single vehicle or OEM.<\/li>\n<li>AI Supported Ideation and Filtering An AI based engine combines teardown evidence, cost drivers, and engineering constraints to generate potential cost measures. Measures are contextualized by vehicle segment, drivetrain type, and system boundaries, allowing relevance filtering and prioritization based on feasibility and expected impact.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Concrete Example: Evidence Based Part Elimination<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Teardown analysis reveals that the removal of the external brand logo on the hood\u2014first observed on the Tesla Cybertruck and later adopted on recent Model Y versions\u2014constitutes a validated example of part elimination for cost optimization. This decision removes a complete component and associated assembly steps, improving manufacturing efficiency and reducing part count. Such ground truth examples enable data driven challenges to traditional design choices, while highlighting that radical cost measures often require longer internal alignment despite their technical simplicity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Achieved Innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The key innovation lies in shifting cost measure generation from an experience driven activity to a repeatable, data supported process. Instead of manually deriving ideas from individual benchmarks, engineers can explore a structured set of cost measures grounded in real, observed design solutions.<\/p>\n<p>For drivetrain systems, this enables:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Faster identification of technically realistic cost measures<\/li>\n<li>Improved transparency between design decisions and cost impact<\/li>\n<li>Better reuse of historical teardown learnings across projects<\/li>\n<li>Support for early phase concept and target setting activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The approach does not replace engineering judgment; rather, it augments it by providing a technically substantiated starting point for cost discussions and design trade-offs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As drivetrain technologies continue to evolve, cost engineering must evolve in parallel. Leveraging teardown intelligence through structured data models and AI supported ideation offers a scalable way to generate high-quality cost measures rooted in real engineering solutions. This methodology supports more informed, fact-based decisionmaking and helps bridge the gap between technical design and cost strategy in modern automotive development.<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/article><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <div class=\"post-wrapper shadow rounded-2xl bg-white\">\n        <article class=\"post relative\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" data-id=\"9418\" data-categories=\"[22,8,16]\">\n    <div class=\"post-body\" itemprop=\"articleBody\">\n                        <div class=\"article-image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/husco-automotive-engineering-solutions-that-move-mobility-forward\/\" title=\"Husco Automotive: Engineering Solutions That Move Mobility Forward\" target=\"_blank\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mx-auto rounded-t-2xl\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/CTI-Abstract-600x300-1.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                        <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"article-content p-6 prose prose-sm max-w-none\">\n            <h2 class=\"mt-0 text-base leading-snug\"><a class=\"font-semibold\" href=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/husco-automotive-engineering-solutions-that-move-mobility-forward\/\" title=\"Husco Automotive: Engineering Solutions That Move Mobility Forward\">Husco Automotive: Engineering Solutions That Move Mobility Forward<\/a><\/h2>\n            <time class=\"post-date\" style=\"font-size: 12px; display: block;\" datetime=\"2026-04-14T12:44:58Z\" itemprop=\"datePublished\">\n                Posted on 14th April 2026\n            <\/time>\n                            <p>Steven Musbach, Account Manager Husco Automotive is a global engineering and manufacturing partner delivering advanced actuators, valves, and fluid control solutions for automotive applications across internal combustion, hybrid, and electrified vehicle platforms.

Another variant of our telemetry boards is just 10.5 mm wide, foldable, and bendable around tight radii, which enables temperature measurements on gear teeth and bearing inner rings on transmission shafts. Furthermore, it could be mounted on the rotor shaft, for gearbox input torque measurement e.g. to determine system efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>This measurement technology was implemented in a VW ID.3 demonstrator vehicle, which is showcased at CTI 2025 in Berlin. The system captures inner and outer bearing ring temperatures, gear tooth temperatures, as well as torques at the gearbox input shaft and side shafts. In the E-drive rotor temperature measurement, a telemetry system capturing 16 individual test points was complemented by four additional sensors on the stator windings, giving unprecedented insights into the thermal behavior of the<br \/>\nvehicle\u2019s drive train.<\/p>\n<p>This data, collected over more than 10,000 km of test drives then formed the basis for the training of a Thermal Neural Network (TTN) modelling the thermal behavior of the E-machine. Due to the large number of temperature measurement points, the temperature estimator for the rotor magnets achieved a highly respectable accuracy of \u00b11.5 K.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"724\" height=\"738\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img2.jpg 724w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img2-294x300.jpg 294w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Application example: Thermal testing of the electric drive unit of the VW ID.3<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/article><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <div class=\"post-wrapper shadow rounded-2xl bg-white\">\n        <article class=\"post relative\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" data-id=\"9400\" data-categories=\"[22,8,16]\">\n    <div class=\"post-body\" itemprop=\"articleBody\">\n                        <div class=\"article-image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/a-j-rose-installs-world-class-equipment-in-response-to-industry-trends-2\/\" title=\"A.J.

Competition among OEMs is increasing and the modern day \u2018race to the moon\u2019 is underway, lead by manufacturers such as Volkswagen, Ford, GM and Volvo as they roll-out EV &amp; hyrbid models off the assembly line. Not to be forgotten are more than 100 ambitious startups looking to make a name in the automotive world. Take a couple steps back in the supply chain and there are countless automotive suppliers watching the competition unfold, excited for the new market opportunities this will bring.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Metal stamping companies make up a large part of the automotive suppliers wondering where they will fit into the electric vehicle landscape. Many likely wondering what their new identity will be 10 years from now. It is certain that metal stampings will remain a major part of the automotive supply chain as we transition to EV, but the type of components that will be stamped is the question mark. A reputable stamping supplier that once specialized in powertrain components may soon find their stamping presses being used for battery trays and EV motor laminations. In order to stay agile and be prepared for any type of stamping coming through the pipeline, a supplier needs two things: First, the the willingness and unity to change even if it\u2019s outside their niche, and second, the necessary equipment and processes to support the evolution.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of A.J. Rose Manufacturing Co., they recently invested in new equipment intended to support the markets of the future. That equipment is a newly-built servo press from Aida. This will be the 58th press at A.J. Rose and also the largest press at 1375 tons. At this tonnage, it opens doors to new markets and product lines with the ability to to produce larger parts and run thicker material. They are adapting to the market, not expecting the market to adapt to them. At a bed size of 191\u201d x 70\u201d and a 20 inch stroke, A.J. Rose will offer more capability to their customers looking for large stampings. A purchase of this magnitude was a decision based partly on current necessity and partly on strategic forecasting of future demand. A.J. Rose is positioning themselves to support the increased sourcings in battery plates, battery boxes, battery trays, large brackets and similar housing components that are becoming popular in the EV space. In order to be nimble in these new markets, the press will be capable of running transfer tools or progressive tools, and the servo motor allows for variable speeds and advanced forming capabilites, such as dwelling at the bottom of the stroke. These features make this a Swiss-Army knife of stamping presses, capable of forming metal into unique geometries in a wide range of size and thickness. This is what puts a supplier in a position for growth, making them attractive with an exisiting customer or one brand new.<\/p>\n<p>A wide range of OEM customers turn to A.J. Rose for high-precision, high-quality metal stampings, therefore it is crucial to maintain their reputation as an innovator in the industry. Having such a reputation associated with their brand helps to establish credibility and lends to partnerships with up-and-coming EV startups.

For example, it can disconnect at high speeds to improve fuel efficiency and re-engage at low speeds or off-road conditions to improve traction.<\/li>\n<li>Temperature Management: Helps manage the thermal load on the powertrain by disconnecting during periods when high performance is not required, preventing overheating and improving component life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The Powder Metal Process Route \u2013 High strength and Energy efficient<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The powder metallurgy process is known for its ability to efficiently produce high volume parts with comparatively low energy consumption. The following chart (Fig.2) gives an overview of all possible process steps. Low loaded parts can have a process route that ends directly after sintering, whereas highly loaded parts such as disconnect sleeves require additional operations like sizing or heat treatment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9392\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/figure5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"968\" height=\"421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/figure5.jpg 968w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/figure5-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/figure5-768x334.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 968px) 100vw, 968px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Figure 5: The Powder Metal Process Overview<\/p>\n<p><strong>High Strength Process Innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Powder metal products such as mass balancer or crankshaft gears are known for their high strength, low weight and additional benefit in NVH performance [1,2]. This is achieved by combining a standard part density in the core area (~7,0g\/cm\u00b3), with a near full density area where the gears are loaded (left, Fig.3). The high-density area can be achieved by rolling or sizing the sintered part. For even higher loaded components such as disconnect systems, the density in the core area of the part needs to be further increased (right, Fig. 6).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9393\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/figure6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1040\" height=\"496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/figure6.jpg 1040w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/figure6-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/figure6-1024x488.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/figure6-768x366.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1040px) 100vw, 1040px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This requires two sizing operations: one to achieve a homogeneous core density of &gt;7,4g\/cm\u00b3 for the core area and a subsequent one for the highly loaded areas with almost full density. To avoid an additional sizing operation and thus save energy (and also cost), a new compacting technology was developed in a research project \u2013 \u201cDie-Wall-Lubrication\u201d (DWL).<\/p>\n<p>In general, organic lubricants (e.g. amide waxes, ~0,8 w%) must be added to powder mixes to ensure lubrication between the compacted part, the die-wall and the core rod during ejection of the part. The disadvantage of adding any organic compound is that it also acquires \u201cspace\u201d during compaction and thus works against achieving the highest densities \u2013 this makes press densities of &gt;7,3g\/cm\u00b3 infeasible for series production. With the new DWL-concept, the organic content in the mix can be reduced to levels &gt;0,2 w%. Instead of adding to the powder mix, an oil film is applied directly to the pressing tool (see Fig. 7) and densities of ~7,4 g\/cm\u00b3 can be reached directly after compacting.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9394\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/figure7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"917\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/figure7.jpg 917w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/figure7-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/figure7-768x369.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 917px) 100vw, 917px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The increase in strength as a function of the core density of a sintered part is shown in the graph below.

This molecule, initially developed for NASA\u2019s space programme, has long seemed too difficult to source and too expensive for many automotive applications.<\/p>\n<p>This is especially the case as the industry moves into an era of cost-competitive BEVs, and, from a European and North American perspective, an era of low-cost, possibly subsidised Chinese BEV imports to compete with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, if it isn\u2019t the molecule, what is new?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The innovation here is a new, patented manufacturing process that also covers the resulting material. Many high-performance plastics, including those produced by the traditional PMDA-ODA Manufacturing method, utilise monomers dissolved in harmful, high-VOC solvents. The environmental and high-cost considerations of these solvents mean they must be separated, distilled, and reused, consuming a large amount of energy in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Ducoya avoids most volatile solvents used in the process and instead employs supercritical carbon dioxide and a catalyst.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it is straightforward to separate the polymer from supercritical carbon dioxide by lowering the pressure. The carbon dioxide is repressurised and stored for reuse. This single step greatly streamlines manufacturing at scale, making the polymer considerably more accessible for automotive applications. However, this is not the end of the story. While the original aim of the invention was to simplify manufacturing at scale, when the properties of the resulting polymer were compared with those of its traditional predecessors, something remarkable emerged \u2013 dramatically improved mechanical and tribological properties.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9383\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/artikel_Duvelco3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"643\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/artikel_Duvelco3.jpg 643w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/artikel_Duvelco3-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 643px) 100vw, 643px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The above graph consists of Ducoya preliminary data \u2013 arithmetic mean of five specimens, and best traditional values taken from published datasheets, none of which reported data over 260 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9382\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/artikel_Duvelco4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"639\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/artikel_Duvelco4.jpg 639w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/artikel_Duvelco4-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The above graph consists of Ducoya preliminary data \u2013 arithmetic mean of thirty specimens, and best traditional values taken from published datasheets, none of which reported data over 260 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Datasheet1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ducoya G021 ISO is a filled version of Ducoya, containing 15 % wear- and friction-optimised graphite. Initial investigations of tribological properties in dry conditions indicate a significant improvement in wear factor compared to the best traditionally produced polyimides of this type. While much work remains to be done with this<br \/>\nspecific molecule, this result seems to confirm earlier work by Irisawa et al. on several polymers, showing that the wear rate is inversely proportional to the product of tensile strength and elongation.<\/p>\n<p>Of particular importance is the continued performance of this molecule at significantly elevated temperatures. This is because, when dry friction occurs \u2013 whether by design or due to off-design operation under adverse conditions \u2013 temperatures on the wear surface can rise substantially compared to the bulk material. For instance, regular operation at 120 \u00b0C can quickly lead to temperatures exceeding 240 \u00b0C on the wear surface under harsh sliding conditions (High PV value).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9381\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/artikel_Duvelco5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"664\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/artikel_Duvelco5.jpg 664w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/artikel_Duvelco5-300x102.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that this general hypothesis applies only to materials of the same type (in this case, PMDA-ODA polyimides) and only when tested under identical conditions.

This also reduces the weight of single-speed and multi-ratio transmissions. Epicyclic transmission layouts may particularly benefit from this improvement. Furthermore, Ducoya, being wear-resistant, although still relatively soft compared to metal, allows metallic debris, such as burrs and wear particles from gears, to embed in its material and be removed as contaminants from the lubricating oil. While this embedding must be limited, removing metallics before they can interfere with the proper functioning of the electric motor \u2013 often sharing the same lubricating oil as the transmission \u2013 can only be beneficial.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An interesting new material that adds a new dimension to accessibility and performance in automotive applications.

This is because the THS is superior to the series model in terms of power transmission efficiency as an E-CVT. The THS used in the Prius is simple system but it is generally said to have problems with starting acceleration performance and high-speed fuel economy. Looking at the specifications of the Prius, in order to ensure starting acceleration performance, the capacity of the MG2 (Motor Generator 2) for driving in recent models is larger than that of the initial model. However, the increased capacity of the MG2 makes to a deterioration in high-speed fuel economy. On the other hand, Toyota has added a four-speed automatic transmission planetary gear mechanism to the THS for LEXUS to improve both fuel efficiency and acceleration performance. However, this can only be applied to FR cars due to the axle length.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This proposal aims to improve fuel efficiency and acceleration performance by applying a dog-clutch parallel-shaft transmission mechanism to the THS, while also realizing a configuration that can be installed in FF vehicles.

If the route between the input shaft and the output shaft is a \u201edirect connection route (D route)\u201d, a dog clutch type transmission mechanism is provided for each route (see Fig. 2). That is, there are only three sleeves. Normally, both the M route and the E route are transmitted as an E-CVT, but when switching from H-1 to H-4, which will be described later, the gear is shifted through the D route to avoid loss of output shaft torque when driving on one route while driving on the other route, and when shifting under high load.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9368\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cti_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"989\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cti_3.jpg 989w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cti_3-300x52.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cti_3-768x132.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 989px) 100vw, 989px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>MG capacity (at ICE power 1) is assumed as follows: This takes into account that if the input shaft is fixed and used as a PHEV, the driving force equivalent to that of an ICE can be obtained.

If the sleeves are S1, S2, and S3, then the H-1 is a combination of the M route (S1) and the E route (S2) with Lm and Le. Switching from H-1 to H-2 is done as follows: When driving on Lm on the M route, the MG2 torque is reduced to zero at the mechanical point (when MG1 stops), making it easier to switch the E route from Le to Me, and the output torque can be shifted without change. That is, the switching from H-1 to H-2 is carried out with gear ratios near the mechanical point of H-1.<\/p>\n<p>Also, switching between H-2 and H-3 is done through the D-route Ld (D-1). In other words, if the gear ratio is equal to the value of Ld while driving in H-2, the speed of the S3 and the opponent\u2019s gear matches, so it is easy to shift S3 and switch to D-1 at this point. S1 and S2 can be freely operated while driving in D-1, so if you revive the power generation of MG1 and the drive of MG2 by connecting H-3 in the operation chart, it will switch to H-3. This can also be done without any change in output torque.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, it is easy to switch from H-2 to H-4 via D-3. You can switch in the same way in these reverse orders.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the above switching is done with a fixed gear ratio, but especially in low to medium load driving, it is possible to switch without the drive of the D-route in any gear ratio. This means that you can drive on one route, M route and E route, while switching between the other. In this way, in low- to mediumload driving, it is possible to switch between any gear ratio without little change in output torque.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kickdown<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you press the throttle pedal sharply while cruising on the H-3, follow these steps: <\/strong><br \/>\nWhen the ICE power is increased and the gear ratio is equal to the value of D-1, switch S3 to Ld (D-1) and operate S1 and S2 to switch to the desired drive mode while driving with D-1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you press the throttle pedal sharply while cruising on the H-4, follow these steps:<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen the ICE power is increased and the gear ratio is equal to the value of D-2, switch the S3 to Hd (D-2), and operate the S1 and S2 to switch to the desired drive mode while driving with D-2.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if the amount of throttle pedal depression is not very large, you can switch at any gear ratio by switching while driving on either the M route or the E route mentioned above.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MG1 &amp; MG2 Stops<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is widely known that power loss due to dragging torque of MG1 and MG2 occurs when the ICE stops at medium or high speeds, or when MG2 is driven at low load at high speeds. The system allows MG1 and MG2 to be stopped as needed. (See Figure 5)<\/p>\n<p>This means that if the ICE stops while driving at medium to high speeds, you can stop MG1 by putting S1 in neutral. If you want to revive the connection of MG1, rotate MG1 to synchronize and shift S1 again. In addition, the gear ratio near the mechanical point of the H-4 and the low-load high-speed driving on the D-1 and D-2 can keep the MG2 at a standstill if the S2 is neutral. This avoids loss of drag torque and improves fuel economy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9371\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/MarelPower_FIG-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/MarelPower_FIG-5.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/MarelPower_FIG-5-300x113.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/MarelPower_FIG-5-768x288.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Application to PHEV<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As is well known, PHEV is established by increasing the battery capacity and providing a means to fix the input axis, allowing MG1 to participate in driving in addition to MG2 in EV mode. In this case, by driving one of the M routes and the E route while switching between the other using the same method as above, you can switch between EV mode while preventing loss of output torque. This means that it is possible to smoothly switch between the MG2\u2019s three-stage drive and the MG1\u2019s two-stage drive without losing drive torque. Of course, this is when switching, not to mention that after the switch is complete, you can drive both MG2 and MG1, or even one of them. It can also be driven by stopping one side, allowing for a variety of drives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantages of this system<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The multi-stage THS reduces the capacity of the MG2 while ensuring acceleration performance in the low speed range and driving torque during reverse driving.<\/li>\n<li>In HV mode, the drive mode can be switched without changing the output torque. Moreover, in medium and low load driving, it can be switched with any gear ratio.<\/li>\n<li>No oil pump or friction clutch required.<\/li>\n<li>MG2 and MG1 can be stopped when it is not needed.<\/li>\n<li>By reducing the size and stopping of the MG2, fuel efficiency can be improved by about 6 ~ 8 % during high-speed cruising.<\/li>\n<li>When applied to a PHEV, it makes EV mode driving in multiple modes to achieve smooth shifting.<\/li>\n<li>While having the above functions, it fits into a size that can be installed on an FF car.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9372\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/MarelPower_FIG-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/MarelPower_FIG-6.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/MarelPower_FIG-6-300x119.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/MarelPower_FIG-6-768x305.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When compared to the THS+4AT and Renault systems, we can see that this system has many advantages.
