Ground transportation is undergoing one of the biggest changes in its history. Be it passenger cars or commercial vehicles, off-road or agricultural vehicles, motorbikes or even rail: Manufacturers must deal with fierce global competition and market consolidation – with trends such as digitalization, autonomous driving, and electrification.
Rigid standards are paired with high end-user expectations regarding reliability, sound quality, ride comfort, energy consumption, driving range, and price.
All ground vehicle and rail manufacturers are under pressure to optimize their entire value chain – from R&D to production – to gain a competitive edge. Advanced simulation, virtual and physical testing are key to shorter times to market at lower cost while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, traceability, and quality assurance.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are a rapidly growing market. New powertrains are being developed at a fast pace, requiring extensive testing and optimization. And how do auxiliary systems such as air conditioning or infotainment affect a vehicle’s electric behaviour?
HBK provides the entire measurement chain for electric power testing – from electric machine testing to complex inverter control testing. Acquiring mechanical and electrical signals simultaneously helps you to better understand and optimize the EV.
VI-grade is leading the charge in helping its customers simultaneously accelerate the development of their products and the pace of innovation.
How do we do this? By employing a unique human-centric approach to development that combines cutting-edge simulation software, driving simulators and HiL solutions that have proven results in the ultimate goal of achieving virtual sign-off.
