Full Car Computer could be a reality by 2027

As electrification progresses, in-vehicle hardware and software architectures will evolve from distributed electronics to a “full car computer and zonal” model. We spoke with Patrick Leteinturier, Fellow Automotive Systems, Infineon Technologies, about these new architectures, new semiconductor materials, and the central role of “motion control”.

E-Motor Efficiency and Lower Costs are Stacked in Your Favor

glulock® - A unique in-tool bonding technology for e-laminations in motor stacks Motor-cores have been build by mechanically interlocking individual motor laminations for decades. With materials in laminations for e-motor cores becoming thinner and thinner and increased efficiencies of electrified propulsion systems this process of mechanically interlocking the „stacks“ has become more and more difficult…

Efficient Turnkey Machining of Complex e-Drive Components

Perfect E-Shaft with Integrated Production Solution For the transmissions of electric vehicles to develop the desired high torque under all driving conditions, a very large gear ratio is needed, which requires high speeds. And to ensure sufficient momentum at all speeds and enable the driver to accelerate without shifting gears, the electric drive has to…

Event Report CTI SYMPOSIUM USA 2023

How far do powertrains extend? As electrification increases, you might say they go from plug to wheel. But as this year‘s discussions at the CTI Symposium in Novi showed, infrastructures and the availability of energy sources also need to be considered. The overarching factor is the need to reduce the CO2 footprint of future vehicles.…
