Presentation

An insight into optimizing vehicle dynamics, component design, and testing for electric vehicle development

Optimizing vehicle dynamics is crucial for shaping the performance and handling of electric vehicles (EVs). Unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EVs demand a different approach due to their unique mass distribution, inertia characteristics and electric power sources. This talk examines how these factors require a revised strategy for designing, optimizing and testing key components such as tires, dampers, bushings and steering systems. Addressing these specific challenges highlights effective strategies for enhancing the performance, safety, and comfort of EVs while accommodating their distinct dynamic profiles.
