The powertrain domain serves as the neural command center of new energy vehicles orchestrating the seamless integration of propulsion, energy storage, and thermal management subsystems. This review provides a systematic examination of powertrain domain design, tracing its evolution from distributed electronic control units (ECUs) architectures to highly centralized domain controller paradigms. We…

Outsourced assembly-line manufacturing has become important for major automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in India because it supports cost reduction, supplier specialization, and global value-chain participation. However, this model also increases exposure to supplier delays, quality variation, weak coordination, ICT risks, financial instability, and external disruptions. Existing…

Accelerate software bring-up, enhance collaboration, reduce prototyping costs, and ensure higher safety and reliability across the vehicle lifecycle. The post Re-Engineering Engineering for Automotive with Electronics Digital Twins for the SDV Era appeared first on Semiconductor Engineering .

A new technical paper, “Modular Drive Architecture for Software-defined Vehicles Enabled by Power-packet-based Sensorless Control,” was published by researchers at Kyoto University. Abstract “The transition toward software-defined vehicles requires standardization and modularization of hardware decoupled from software, along with centralized electrical/electronic architectures. While electrified …

Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD is going high end. The firm just announced a 1,000-plus-horsepower supercar that measures its speed in seconds at both the track and the plug. Unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show under the automaker’s premium Denza brand, the Denza Z is claimed to hit 100 km/h in less than two seconds… The post BYD’s EV megawatt leap is a 1,000-hp supercar with flash charging appe…

A new technical paper titled “Towards Safe Autonomous Driving: A Real-Time Motion Planning Algorithm on Embedded Hardware” was published by researchers at TU Munich. Abstract “Ensuring the functional safety of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) requires motion planning modules that not only operate within strict real-time constraints but also maintain controllability in case of system faults. Existing... …

A cross-disciplinary team of faculty members from Clemson’s mechanical engineering and automotive engineering departments have come together for the research. Srikanth Pilla, an assistant professor of automotive engineering, is the principal investigator on the project. The co-principal investigators are Melur “Ram” Ramasubramanian, D. W. Reynolds Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering…

When General Motors looked back on 100 years of motoring, and recognised that just 12 percent of the world has a car, it had a radical rethink. The result is the AUTOnomy: a vehicle designed around a fuel cell propulsion system in a "skateboard chassis" which can have a variety of bodies fitted. AUTOnomy provides a glimpse into GM's vision for the 21st century: a socially responsible, infinitely …
