Tier-1 components manufacturer Hyundai Mobis is striding forward aggressively to build a leadership position in automotive electrification. New efforts unveiled in October include plans to build another major new electrification plant in Europe, plus a […]
Thinking about a hybrid-electric vehicle, most people probably envision a Toyota Prius but propulsion engineers at Rolls-Royce take a broader, heavier view. The company’s Power Systems division is expanding its mtu engine program for military land vehicles to include a hybrid powerpack for special tactical requirements and a 10-cylinder, over 1.100 kW power output, version of the mtu Series 199 which has been extremely successful with NATO forces. Both concepts were premiered at the Eurosatory defense trade fair in Paris in June. […]

Designing electric motor controls and testing embedded controllers for motor drives is time-consuming, and tests with rotating components and under high-voltage conditions are potentially dangerous. Testing intelligently using digital twins allows for a safe testing environment that not only prevents equipment damage but also personal injury. Furthermore, it provides a continuous workflow across all test phases within a single platform. Development thus becomes faster and more innovative, and errors can be detected early on. […]
