Sponsored by CSM High-performance electric vehicles run with two, three or even more electric motors in the powertrain. Tuning the motor control is complex and requires precise performance analysis in order to test the desired driving characteristics. Early in the development process, the interaction of the individual inverters and electric motors is analyzed on powertrain… Read more »
Sponsored by Dupont Much of what drives the advancement of EVs today is what you don’t see. For example, crash-worthy adhesives that bond body and battery components along with performance polymers and thermal interface materials that safely manage battery temperature. At DuPont, we’re developing adhesive and plastic solutions that help automakers worldwide produce EVs that… Read more »

Sponsored by Toray It is fully expected that electric vehicle (EV) sales will erode internal combustion engine (ICE) market share over the next 10 – 15 years and new global government regulations will ensure this holds true. A recent Deloitte EV market analysis predicts EVs will have captured 30 – 35% of the global passenger… Read more »
Sponsored by HBK In recent years there has been an increased interest in electric and more electric aircraft, including both novel all-electric aircraft, drones, rigid air ships and traditional aircraft with efficient and more electric components. Validating these systems and components has challenges due to the nature of aerospace testing as well as the high… Read more »
Sponsored by Knowles Precision Devices EV manufacturers are beginning to redesign their vehicles to make the switch from the 400 V battery systems widely used today to 800 V battery systems. Just like engineers faced challenges when moving from the standard 12 V batteries used in combustion vehicles to the higher voltage battery systems used in… Read more »
Sponsored by Dana As OEMs continue transitioning their conventionally powered vehicles to battery-electric, it takes more than just swapping out a few parts. Electrifying a vehicle requires a complete system overhaul — that includes thermal management systems. When it comes to vehicle design, thermal management is often an underappreciated engineering discipline — and it’s becoming… Read more »
