ePowertrain Design – Techniques to reduce time to market and cost
eMobility is a story of disrupted and disruptive technology in automotive. The drivetrain being the disrupted technology, and the electric motor which is the disruptive technology. Together they make up a new and highly integrated system: the ePowertrain.
Nowadays, ePowertrain have to meet multiple and often conflicting targets. This means long and complex iterations to search for the right answer which translates to a longer design and development lifecycle.
However, to remain competitive, automotive industry must develop products faster, reduce costs, maintain, or improve product performance and quality. Ideally, industry must be RIGHT FIRST TIME. However, in practice, clients do a lot of repeat work. The engineers are expected to deal with lot of iterations, make lots of mistakes and find lots of problems, but they are expected to fix them. The best companies will be the ones who fix the most problems in the most efficient way.
Product development plays a crucial role in the success of any business. In today's fast-paced and competitive market, the ability to bring new products to market quickly is essential for staying ahead of the game. This is where reducing the product development life cycle becomes paramount. By shortening the time, it takes to develop and launch a product, companies can gain a competitive advantage, increase market share, and meet ever-changing consumer demands.
In this webinar we will talk about the ePowertrain design challenges and techniques to overcome these challenges so as to reduce time to market and cost while ensuring reliability and efficiency.
