𝐀 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞-𝐦𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: 𝐠𝐥𝐮𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤® 𝐌𝐃 - Markus Lock, Head of R&D and Engineering Feintool System Parts Sachsenheim GmbH, Germany The future of e-mobility lies in more efficient and smaller motors. #Rotors and #stators — the heart of a #motor — play the central role in any motor design. Feintool glulock® MD (Multiple Dots) technology removes longstanding limitations on rotor and stator production, enabling more compact designs to increase the efficiency of electric motors. E-mobility is clean, quiet and, above all, efficient. No other drive concept has such a high level of efficiency: electric cars transfer around 80 percent of the energy supplied to the road. With hydrogen drivetrain, the efficiency is only around 50 percent, and a combustion engine comes in, at best, near 40 percent. The rest of the #energy is lost in the form of waste heat. Nevertheless, electric motors still need to become more efficient. After the capacity of the #battery, the energy efficiency of the motor is the most significant factor in determining the vehicle’s range. Even small increases in efficiency can deliver major improvement in range. “In the next few years, it will be a matter of exploiting those last few percent of efficiency,” says Markus Lock, Head of Engineering at Feintool. ➡ Continue reading: https://lnkd.in/eFWcteNS #cti_sym #CTI_Symposium #futuremobility #emobility #EV Sylvia Zenzinger Sabine Fischer Şenel Çelik

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗘𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝗩𝘀 - John Jennings, Director of Innovation and eMobility, Amsted Automotive The demands on Electric Vehicles (EV) powertrain systems continue to escalate to better meet customer needs – specially extended driving range and better overall driving dynamics – and Amsted Automotive is developing solutions to meet those needs. The latest evolution for next-generation EV drivetrain systems are two variations of a multi-functional shift system with integrated one-way-clutch functionality. The EV market is growing at a fast pace, creating new and unique challenges for our automakers and tier 1 automotive suppliers. Traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) drivetrains and EV drivetrains are not the same. Without the ability to meet the unique requirements of EV powertrain systems, there are missed opportunities for new success within the transportation sector. Electric propulsion is fundamentally different than ICE propulsion, and the ability to accurately control an electric motor allows for a fundamental paradigm shift that allows new transmission and drivetrain designs to be developed. ➡ Continue reading: https://lnkd.in/eNc_66Vm #cti_sym #CTI_Symposium #futuremobility Sylvia Zenzinger Sabine Fischer Şenel Çelik

⚡ The Hybrid was Never Gone ⚡ How is the electrification of light #vehicles and #trucks progressing? As the US CTI Symposium Novi 2024 showed, hybrid drives may be involved for longer than developers expected. Meanwhile, OEMs and suppliers are working tirelessly to make all kinds of electrified drives more efficient – and more sustainable. The development came as something of a surprise. Just a year or so ago, the broad consensus in the industry was that there is no alternative to purely battery-electric cars (BEVs). Now, many OEMs are moving hybrid drives higher up the agenda again. At the CTI Symposium USA (Novi, MI, May 15-16, 2024), Chair Patrick Lindemann addressed this development right at the start of his introductory speech, saying BEVs were not catching on as quickly as expected, and in some cases registration numbers were falling. For the US market, Lindemann thinks advanced hybrid drives could still play a significant role up until 2040. Hence, hybrids featured more strongly again in this year’s conference program – both in the specialist lectures and in the discussions. 📖 Read our conference recap now: https://lnkd.in/dcJugE7f #CTI_Sym #HybridVehicles #Electrification #SustainableMobility #AutomotiveIndustry #Innovation #GreenTechnology #FutureOfTransport #CTISymposium Sylvia Zenzinger Şenel Çelik Sabine Fischer Patrick Lindemann Gernot Goppelt

At the CTI Symposium Berlin in December 2023, we caught up with Thorsten Jablonski, Head of Development & Product Management Volkswagen Group Components. As he sees it, there are several levers: for example battery technology, electric drives, and leaner processes in development and production. 𝘖𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵 𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘬𝘦𝘺 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘉𝘌𝘝𝘴 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦? The biggest cost driver for electric cars is still the battery. Fast charging tech costs money, and so does battery capacity. Volkswagen has to focus on customers’ priorities. Is this a second vehicle that you can charge slowly at home, but which has a high range? Or are 200 kilometers of range enough? Another big cost factor is cell chemistry. With electric powertrains, it’s all about simplification. With electric drives, you can dial some of the requirements down a bit, for example how quickly the interior heats up. So it’s simplification and the battery system. For me, those are the two levers for building an electric car in an affordable price range. ➡ Continue reading: https://lnkd.in/eY2NGhZ6 #cti_sym #CTI_Symposium #futuremobility Sylvia Zenzinger Sabine Fischer Şenel Çelik
