Dynamic Calibration of E-Drive and E-Axle

Revolutionizing Development and Validation with Dynamic Simulation

Elevate your development game: transition optimization tasks to component level for cost reduction, accelerated decision-making, and streamlined development processes.

Dynamic Calibration of E-Drive and E-Axle: BEV - Mixed Prototype

In today's fast-paced automotive industry, vehicle manufacturers and suppliers are constantly racing against the clock to meet ever-tighter deadlines for product development. As the demand for more vehicle variants in shorter timeframes grows, engineers find themselves grappling with limited access to prototype vehicles and limited resources for testing. Traditional development approaches, especially during the latter stages of vehicle development, can worsen these challenges, leading to greater risks and higher costs associated with last-minute changes or safety issues during functional testing. To make matters even more complicated, vehicle testing is frequently influenced by uncontrollable environmental factors.

Dynamic calibration plays a pivotal role in the e-drive and e-axle market, guaranteeing top-notch performance, efficiency, and safety for electric vehicles. Each OEM or supplier grapples with their own unique framework requirements, molded by their individual product portfolio and market positioning. Furthermore, different OEMs and suppliers maintain distinct sets of dedicated development tasks and environments.

To adeptly and economically tackle these multifaceted demands, identifying the perfect blend of development environments is absolutely crucial.

Dynamic Calibration of E-Drive and E-Axle: Challenges

Wavy Road Driving 

How to effectively manage longitudinal oscillation in the development of e-drives and e-axles through calibration?

Torque Vectoring 

What is the most effective way to calibrate vehicle behavior during the use of torque vectoring, while also ensuring comprehensive functional testing?

Traction Control 

How to effectively address the challenge of maintaining traction on slippery or partially slippery roads?

Driveability 

How to find the best mix of factors that influence the drivability of a vehicle already when testing components?

E-ABS Braking 

How to minimize calibration time and ensuring the reproducibility of factors like weather, component temperatures, driver, and maneuver?

Dynamic Calibration of E-Drive and E-Axle: BEV - Mixed Protype on Testbed

Our dynamic calibration solutions for e-drive and e-axles can be used to shift many development and optimization tasks from vehicle level to component level. This enables you to meet your requirements in terms of performance, cost and flexibility.

You can couple component testbeds, such as inverter testbed, e-drive testbed, or e-axle testbed, with real-time dynamic vehicle simulation. The flexibility of this solution allows for the integration of additional models when needed, ensuring that every aspect of the development process is thoroughly examined and optimized.

The solution is customized to accommodate your individual needs concerning framework requirements, dedicated development tasks, and available development environments.

Reducing Costs

Decrease the number of vehicle prototypes through efficient frontloading and extensive testing of various conditions.

Making Decisions Earlier

Make informed decisions earlier in the vehicle development process by leveraging simulation.

Frontloading Development Tasks

Shift development tasks in the vehicle to component testbeds by combining accurate simulation and component testing.

Scoping Workshop

We discuss and determine the current situation and framework requirements to identify the most suitable solution.

Proof of Concept
