A Rocky Road to Plug & Charge

Purchasers of electric cars have accepted that "refueling" takes longer than for a vehicle with a combustion engine. What is especially annoying, however, is when problems arise at the charging station, wasting even more time before the charging process even starts. Plug & Charge can help to remedy this situation. Interoperability requirements,...

Hi-Fi for all Seats

Having a high quality sound system in the car is not necessarily a guarantee for a good sound. The characteristics of the speakers, their installation in the vehicle and their directivity are just some of the variables that can affect the listening experience. Suitable measurement technology renders a useful service on the path to perfect sound...

The Key to a Powerful Charging Infrastructure

The success of the electric car rests on the question of whether adequate charging facilities can be created. Municipalities are expected to create even more charging stations, even more ultra-rapid charging points. Topping up batteries faster and faster isn't necessarily the only solution. The alternative is to "refuel" on more occasions – with a...

The Battery Cell: Key Technology in the Electric Powertrain

In the traditional vehicle world, engine technology is regarded as one of the vital unique selling points of a vehicle manufacturer. Key vehicle characteristics are derived from the power unit, which is also a central element of value creation. In an electrified, digital vehicle world, it is no longer the combustion engine or electric motor, but...

Energy Management 4.0 - How the e-car generates its own electricity for free

In the past, energy management in vehicles was mostly about dealing with electricity consumers as efficiently as possible. Today's electric cars are radically changing that. AI enables them to find out for themselves when the driver(s) will need how much power in the battery and, at the other times, to earn money independently as participants in...

How much CO2 does your car radio emit?

We're travelling along the motorway to the accompaniment of our favourite song. The voice assistant warns of traffic congestion ahead – and then the telephone rings, and we use the hands-free system to take the call. Everyday scenes that make one thing clear: in-car audio systems are becoming increasingly important. Radio, telephone and media...

Performance Engineering – When computer hardware scaling reaches its limits

Performance is often equated with speed. In sports or Formula 1 racing, for example, a razor-thin lead of two and a half tenths of a second - i.e. 0.25 seconds - can make all the difference between victory and defeat. And it is not just on the race track that speed is one of the key criteria for success. Performance also plays a decisive role in...

ED::MEDAAN: this enables you to speed up the processing and evaluation of big vehicle measurement data for faster vehicle development.

Our vehicles produce a wealth of data every day, using state-of-the-art technology to do so. Highly complex sensors such as cameras, radar or lidar collect this valuable information. These can then provide information on the vehicle's performance, e.g. slippage, accelerator setting, gear shifts, etc. But for OEMs, the focus is on quite different...

Modular, scalable and safe. The SCALEbat. The battery housing with philosophy.

A cell is the tiniest but most vital element in our bodies, our motor. It is exactly the same with a battery cell. It too is the smallest component in an electric vehicle’s storage battery, and therefore of the utmost importance in ensuring that all of the energy storage system’s vital functions work. This makes it the key technology in eMobility....

E-laboratories – charged for a full life cycle

The battery in a modern electric car is what the tank is for a car with a combustion engine. Both determine the range of the vehicle, although the range of an electric vehicle still comes nowhere near that of a conventional powertrain. To increase the capacity of the energy storage systems and create greater range, OEMs are therefore constantly...
