ZF’s in-depth knowledge of all aspects of vehicle motion control systems is not only unmatched in today’s market, we’re also in the pole position to shape the next level of chassis technology. This is critical as electrification, autonomous driving and the software defined vehicle bring both additional requirements for the chassis and even more possibilities for the future.
Many of us try to care for the environment by recycling the materials we can, cooking in a way that leads to less food waste or driving an electric car. When it comes to making your energy usage more sustainable, however, it can be hard to know how to increase the share of renewable sources in the electricity that you use.
Understanding what’s important to people behind the steering wheel is important for the onboard experience, especially when you’re driving a 40-tonne truck for 8 hours a day. At Faurecia, we’re now applying our seating expertise from passenger cars to trucks. As for all our innovations, this is user-driven, including asking truck drivers about their onboard habits, priorities and desires.
Imagine the soft, barely discernible breathing movements of a sleeping child. A new interior radar feature developed by our engineers is designed to be accurate and sensitive enough to detect the tiniest movements at sub-millimetre scale – such as those of a sleeping toddler. It’s the first such feature to cover the entire interior of the car, including the trunk.
The multinational presented its innovations and developments focused on the mobility of the future and generated a large volume of potential business opportunities.
Whether it’s designing a new automatic pre-mixer dosing system for raw materials, implementing predictive maintenance in tyre building, increasing energy efficiency in curing or customizing a green tyre handling system, SMC products, services and expertise can add tangible value to your project.
The plug-in hybrid version of the C5 X offers, as a world premiere, Citroën Advanced Comfort® Active Suspension, which combines Progressive Hydraulic Cushions® with active suspension control. The vehicle adapts the suspension of each wheel to be softer or firmer depending on the conditions encountered.
Thanks to CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment), a virtual reality platform that can be used to move around outside and inside a vehicle during its design phase. At the Titu Technical Centre in southern Romania, Dacia teams have tested the fully immersive experience. As such, they optimised interior modularity and spaciousness on the All-new Dacia Jogger. Here is their story.
Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation today announced that it has developed a superconducting motor to meet the needs of the mobility sector. This superconducting motor can realize lightweight, high-output density and high-speed rotation, and can be made available for large mobility applications.
The Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) conference is one of the most pivotal AI events of the year in all engineering and computer science, gathering thousands of researchers and engineers worldwide to share discoveries, establish collaborations, and push the field forward.
