A growing number of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are starting to look at driveline electrification as a solution to meet the increasing pressure from governmental authorities to meet the stringent emission and fuel efficiency targets. Moreover, there is an increasing demand from consumers for technologies that offer superior performance,...

Consumer demand for enhanced fuel economy, improved safety, and comfort has forced original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to migrate from traditional Hydraulic Power Steering and Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering to Electric Power Steering (EPS). Over the last 2-3 years, the automotive industry in North America has earmarked EPS as one of the stepp...

Major automotive OEMs globally are now incorporating active safety and automated vehicle technologies in their future vehicle line-up to enhance safety and driver comfort. To gauge the suitability of each technology, continuous testing and validation is a must. Based on the supportive legislation, several regions across the globe have been identifi...

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) target ride and handling performance improvement through the introduction of advanced suspension innovations in vehicles. Such innovations are likely to get integrated at an incremental cost. High performance/luxury vehicles are expected to be the first adopters. By 2022, integration of vehicle ride height co...

Despite a slow start, electric power steering (EPS) has been successful in North America. Now, OEMs are interested in shifting from electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS) and hydraulic power steering (HPS) systems to EPS systems, especially to meet consumer demand for enhanced fuel economy, improved safety, and comfort. This study is based on seco...

The automotive industry is currently focusing on sensor and vision-based solutions capable of minimising errors caused through driver input in speed zones. Current technologies are confined to premium segments, mainly due to cost effectiveness and public acceptance. But with the onset of legislative measures mandating some of the ADAS applications,...
