The so-called green agenda is driving a need to be able to assess product performance faster and more efficiently than ever before, says Michael Rietvelt. In every sector, businesses are under pressure to make sure that the development phase of a new product’s lifecycle is completed as efficiently as possible. Awareness of the potential impact on supply chains of geopolitical ...

Held in the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1 from 17 – 20 April, this B2B exhibition focuses on EV and autonomous driving technology, encompassing the smart mobility ecosystem from EV components (batteries, motors and controllers) to the charging infrastructure, ADAS, and IoV solutions. This year, 2035 E-Mobility Taiwan will gather suppliers, including e-bus manufacturer, Master Transportation, EV powertrain and ...

12.8 million EVs were sold last year (including BEVs (Battery EVs, PHEVs (Plud-In Hybrid EVs) , and FCVs (Fuel Cell Vehicles), says TrendForce. Regional market sales shares were expected to be 60% in China, 22% in Western Europe, 11% in the US, and 6% in other regions. With China’s subsidies gradually phasing out, the increasing market penetration of NEVs in ...

The  market for Li-ion battery packs for BEV and PHEV will grow to about $180 billion in 2028, with a 16.9% CAGR 22-28, says Yole Developpement. The battery cell supply chain is primarily led by Asian players: China accounting for 57%, with South Korea at 25% and Japan at 7% following. In the coming years, there will be a growing ...

Inertial measurement unit sensors are the automotive sensing devices that enable safety for advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicle operation, says James Fennelly of Aceinna. Inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors may not attract the same amount of attention as other sensors, such as lidar, radar and cameras, but in many ways IMUs are the critical safety sensor component required ...

Using a safety channel to counter weaknesses in algorithms could steer the automation of commercial vehicles, proposes Eric Richter of BaseLabs. The safe automation of commercial vehicles is a tremendous request from the market. Business cases appear attractive and technical issues seem solvable, yet still, ensuring the safety of such highly automated vehicles is challenging. Designers have to consider the ...

Arron Bickerton, of TTI Europe, observes two trends in the sensor marketplace. The first is supplier consolidation and the second is the rise of digitisation. Over the past five years, many suppliers have acquired disparate types of sensor companies and are now consolidating technologies and narrowing their portfolios. As a result, certain parts are now being made obsolete or are ...
