Jul 18, 2012 - The battery's cooling system is integrated into the air-conditioning cooling circuit. Nov 1, 2013 - More than at any time in automotive history, performance factors are based on interdependencies that ripple throughout the vehicle, particularly for hybrids that combine combustion engines with electric propulsion systems Modelon, a worldwide supplier of products and services for system design and optimization, recently used a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach to evaluate and balance multiple performance attributes for an e4WD hybrid car. Once a driver or passenger inputs a destination, for example, the vehicle can optimize its powertrain systems to travel there efficiently. Jun 30, 2010 - RENAULT is Europe's leading brand, the only vehicle manufacturer to have eight cars with the maximum five-star Euro NCAP rating, and the winner of the Formula 1 World Championship in 2006 for Constructors and Drivers. AVL LIST GmbH is the world's largest privately owned and independent company for the development of powertrain systems with internal combustion engines as well as instrumentation and test systems. (PRWEB) March 23, 2013 The recent development of hybrid powertrain components and system integration technologies can reduce. Jun 26, 2003 - "The integration of Cosworth TechnologyÕs Powertrain systems expertise and facilities with AltairÕs vehicle design, development and test capabilities provides a systems level approach to niche vehicle development resulting in value and innovation for our clients", says Mike Heskitt, vice president, Altair specializes in the development of Altair® HyperWorks®, a high-end, open CAE software suite for modeling, visualization, optimization and process automation. The Group is accelerating its . If, for example, the front of the vehicle is on ice and the rear is on pavement, the all-wheel-drive system can send all the torque the power train can produce to the rear, putting power where the driver needs it. Apr 17, 2012 - While the sexy story is infotainment services—connecting the car to Twitter—there's a compelling safety story in networking the safety systems already in cars and the new ones being developed.
