Increasing cost pressure is one of the biggest market challenges in all drive technologies. This requires a platform approach.
Modularity Is the Top Priority
The key to vehicle development is producing as many different vehicles as possible from as many identical parts as possible. This is to be accomplished by the functions rather than by the built-in components.
Automated Driving
In software-defined vehicles, the proportion of software is high and development cycles are becoming ever shorter. Frontloading in development is crucial here.
Efficient, Sustainable Overall System
In addition to energy efficiency and environmental impact, automobile manufacturers and suppliers must also keep track of the total cost of ownership (TCO).
Environmental Footprint vs. Greenwashing
In order to credibly distance oneself from greenwashing, it is necessary to assess not only the production of a vehicle, but also its entire life cycle – i.e. from the provision of raw materials to actual disposal.
We have in-depth, detailed understanding of components and systems, and always think about the bigger picture. All relevant content is defined and coordinated as early as possible, to enable you to react flexibly at all times in later process phases.
We take care of the definition and design of the basic construction of your vehicle at all levels. This includes the geometry of the components, the layout of the passenger compartment, the usability of trunks, and the electrical architecture. In addition, we guarantee optimal evaluation and corresponding implementation of vehicle derivatives with different drive solutions. Our intensive benchmarking, including an extensive database, gives you an optimal overview of the market. You always know exactly where the market is going and can make decisions systematically – globally and at country level.
Predictive Concepts
Our special vehicle concepts enable you to make informed decisions early on.
Feasibility Studies
These studies show you whether you need to source additional components from the supplier, or whether follow-up developments are necessary.
Complete Integration Projects
We help you bring your vehicle to series production – perfectly aligned with all functions and goals.
Innovative Vehicle Functions
By making clever use of various innovative vehicle functions, we increase the benefits for the end user.
