I am thrilled to share that my second paper, titled "Platooning of Position-Controlled Vehicles on a Curved Path under Communication Loss and Delay", has been accepted by the SAE International Journal of Connected and Automated Vehicles as of July 1, 2024. I am looking forward to seeing it available online soon. A big thanks to my supervisors for their support and for allowing me to publish it on my own—it really boosts my confidence. #Research #Platooning #AutomatedVehicles #ConnectedVehicles #SAE

You don't need a cold start emission model for EU7-OBM? I think it depends on calibration, temperature and the driving cycle. And if you are in doubt about this topic, on March 12th I will present on SAE OBD EU Symposium in Amsterdam, what IAV GmbH think is a cost/resource-optimized approach to cold start emission modelling for gasoline passenger cars. #emissions #eu7 #obm #ice #sae

🚗⚡ Introducing SERES 7 and SERES 5 with Electric Vehicle Range Extender (EVR) technology! ⚡🚗 These innovative EVs redefine performance, range, and sustainability, setting a new standard in the automotive world. 🎥 Watch the video to discover the future of electric mobility! #SERES7 #SERES5 #EVR #ElectricVehicles #Innovation #Sustainability

For me it’s clear that innovation is one of the keys to success. Even if it may look like a pile of metal to you, this is high tech. Our #MercedesBenz #Safety experts see a planned deformation, customised specifically for electric vehicles, designed to save lives. In our #crash tests, safety is determined in a fraction of a second. To ensure that no detail is missed, each test is recorded from multiple angles using high-speed cameras capable of capturing up to 1,000 frames per second. Moreover, we also carefully measure the vehicles before and after the test to accurately assess every aspect of the impact. After all, we do not crash cars to take great pictures, but to make our cars even safer – and to save lives. #MercedesBenz #InnovationDay #AllForSafety #Safety #VehicleSafety #Technology #CrashTest #SavingLives

The Myth on EV Commercial vehicles doesnt gives you range and profitablity is broken with this infographic from our SWITCH ION by one of our legendary customer proves that the "Change is Inevitable" by travelling 676km in one day with 130km range between multiple districts. Its time for a switch from ICE to SWITCH IEV SERIES #SwitchIeV3 #Switchmobility #eLCV

The history of electric cars dates back to 1834, when the first electric car was invented. The commercialization of electric vehicles started in 1852, but the early models did not use rechargeable electric batteries. It wasn't until 1850 when Gaston Planté invented the rechargeable lead acid battery and later, Camille Faure's work made it a success. In 1899, Camille Jenatzy's "Jamais Contente" broke the speed record by exceeding 100 km/h. But it is interesting to note that the first electric GM vehicle was a Corvair. 😊 #EV #Electriccar #Battery https://lnkd.in/ebQtxCrr

Did you know electric vehicles have been around for nearly two centuries? Long before Tesla and even the gasoline engine, pioneers like Anyos Jedlik and Thomas Parker were experimenting with electric powered transport. More interestingly, the first U.S police car in 1899 was electric, with a top speed of 16 mph! It is fascinating to see how EV technology has evolved and how history repeats itself. The future might be electric, but the journey began long before we think! #EVHistory #ElectricVehicles #Sustainability #EV

The Shift to EVs: A Double-Edged Sword for Traditional Automakers The automotive industry is undergoing a radical transformation, shifting its focus from mechanical engineering to software development. This shift is driven by the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and the increasing integration of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G connectivity. The Decline of Mechanical Dominance Traditionally, the automotive industry was heavily reliant on mechanical engineering. Internal combustion engines, transmissions, and suspension systems were the core components that defined a vehicle's performance and efficiency. However, the advent of EVs has challenged this paradigm. The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) presents a significant challenge for traditional automakers, particularly those with a strong heritage in internal combustion engine (ICE) technology. While EVs offer numerous advantages, such as reduced "running" emissions and lower operating costs, they also disrupt established business models and competitive landscapes. Lost Competitive Advantages #Engine Expertise: 1) Decades of Refinement: Traditional automakers have spent decades perfecting ICE technology, resulting in highly efficient and powerful engines. 2) Reduced Relevance: In an EV world, engine expertise becomes less critical, as electric motors offer instant torque and smooth operation. #Safety Regulations and #Noise Management: 1) Deep Knowledge Base: Automakers have accumulated extensive knowledge in designing vehicles that meet stringent safety regulations and noise optimization. 2) New Paradigm: EV regulations are still evolving, and the focus shifts to battery safety, software reliability, and electromagnetic interference. #Environmental Standards: 1) Pioneering Low-Emission Technologies: Traditional automakers have invested heavily in developing technologies to meet increasingly stringent emissions standards. 2) Level Playing Field: EVs, by their nature, offer lower "running" emissions, reducing the competitive advantage of low-emission ICE vehicles. #Technological Advancements: 1) Core Competencies: Automakers have built strong capabilities in areas like mechanical engineering, materials science, and combustion technology. 2) Shifting Focus: The EV era demands expertise in areas like battery technology, electric motors, and software engineering, which may require significant investment and learning curves. #Unbalanced Power Dynamics The shift to EVs can also disrupt the power dynamics within the automotive industry: 1) Rise of New Players: Tech companies and startups with strong software and battery expertise can quickly enter the EV market, challenging traditional automakers. 2) Supply Chain Disruptions: The EV supply chain is concentrated around battery and electric motor technologies, which can create new dependencies and vulnerabilities. 3) Consumer Preferences https://lnkd.in/e2iPqC72
