The Hidden Costs of Innovation in the modern day cars In the race to optimize performance and efficiency, we’ve seen a shift from 4-cylinder engines to 3-cylinder alternatives, alongside significant kerb weight reductions. While these innovations have improved fuel efficiency and emissions, they’ve introduced a layer of complexity that may be undermining reliability. Where once a simple mechanical issue could be resolved by a trained mechanic, modern vehicles, with their advanced electronics, now require specialized diagnostics and repairs. The increasing reliance on sensors and software is raising concerns about long-term durability and the true cost of ownership. Is the balance between innovation and reliability shifting too far? #AutomotiveEngineering #ReliabilityConcerns #VehicleOwnership #3cylinderengine

#snsinstitution #snsdesignthinking #snsdesignthinker #snsct Hey Connections! The Topic About REGENARATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM Automotive Regenerative Braking System is a system that is applied to the automotive brake system, is a mechanical device that is used to inhibit motion or helps in stopping the motion of the vehicles. This braking system market is expected to observe a noteworthy upsurge over the next eight years, due to the implementation of advanced systems such as Antilock Braking System (#ABS), Electronic Stability Control (#ESC), Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (#EBD), and Traction Control System (#TCS), among others. This braking system includes storage of energy that is generally demolished in traditional braking systems whenever brakes are applied. It involves the storage of energy which is emitted in the form of heat, electrical energy that is used for powering different components and vehicle operations even apply the brakes itself. Thus with the cumulating production of vehicles is driving the force of the market.

The "heart and spine" of the EV heavy-duty truck platforms, reminded me of the Transformers movie! Another flashback from ACT Expo in Las Vegas! As on every this kind of EVent experience, I could dive deep into the latest advancements in electric vehicle technology. In this shot, you can see the heart and spine of the EV—the engine that powers the future of transportation. It was one of the standout moments for me - to examine the EV engine platform up close. It's astounding how it contrasts with a traditional combustion engine. For instance, a typical combustion engine comprises about 2,000 moving parts, whereas an EV engine has fewer than 20! This reduction in complexity not only boosts efficiency but also slashes maintenance requirements. Moreover, EV engines deliver instant torque, which translates to a smoother and more responsive driving experience. And let's not overlook the elimination of oil changes, exhaust systems, and the reduction in overall mechanical wear and tear. However, these technological advancements introduce new challenges, particularly in software development. Crafting software for electric vehicles involves a distinct set of challenges compared to traditional vehicles—it's about maximizing battery efficiency, enhancing overall vehicle performance, and integrating cutting-edge smart technologies. Feeling inspired and excited about the road ahead! #ACTExpo #ElectricVehicles #EVTechnology #Codibly #Innovation #FutureOfTransport

The Future of Steering: Electric Power Steering (EPS) Systems 🚗⚡ What is an EPS system? An Electric Power Steering (EPS) system replaces traditional hydraulic steering with an electric motor that assists the driver in turning the wheel. It's more efficient, precise, and requires less maintenance than its hydraulic counterpart. **Key Components & How They Work:** - Steering Wheel: Where the driver inputs commands. - Torque Sensor: Measures the force applied by the driver. - Motor: Provides the power to assist in steering. - ECU (Electronic Control Unit): Calculates the needed assistance based on torque and vehicle speed. - Steering Gear: Converts the wheel's rotation into linear motion to steer the tires. **How does it work?** When you turn the wheel, the **torque sensor** sends data to the **ECU**, which signals the **motor** to provide the right amount of assistance based on vehicle speed. It’s intuitive and adjusts in real-time for precise handling. **Why EPS is a Game Changer:** - **Better Fuel Efficiency** 🌍: No hydraulic pump means less energy consumption. - **Improved Handling** 🎯: More accurate steering response. - **Lower Maintenance** 🔧: No hydraulic fluid to check or replace. - **Enhanced Safety** 🛡️: Helps prevent oversteer or understeer, improving vehicle stability. #ElectricPowerSteering #EPS #AutomotiveTechnology #InnovationInMotion
