With the rise of new powertrain technologies, the comfort of the passenger in the cabin and the energy management of the air conditioning system are becoming increasingly important.

The understanding of wear phenomena is relevant for several engineering fields. Basically, every application where force is transferred between directly connected and relatively moving components is prone to wear.

Vehicle water wading and rain water management are two of the main liquid-dominated vehicle body problems which, instead of performing high cost real-life experiments, can be simulated in a virtual environment. 

Battery development requires accurate cell parameters, especially voltage and temperature responses. Equivalent circuit models (ECM) are common as they can be used in battery management systems. An innovative approach shortens the parameter identification process from weeks to hours through virtualization and precise cell models.

Aiming at a drastic CO₂ reduction in industry and mobility, the world is currently facing the challenge of producing green hydrogen at affordable prices and in sufficient quantities. 

E-drives and hybrid powertrains often operate in transient conditions with changing loads and speeds, and it is essential to consider the dynamic effects of these conditions when evaluating their durability and NVH.

In the pursuit of emission-free mobility, the role of the e-motor in electric vehicles is pivotal. The webinar 'Thermal Management of E-motor' underscores its significance.

When optimizing complete vehicles, it is essential to take interdependencies between the individual systems into account. This results in additional complexity for the development process.
