The vintage era with the characteristic body of European cars, which we associate with the fertile Silver Age in culture, managed to distinguish itself not only by the unique design of the cars. This period is characterized by technical discoveries and achievements. It should be noted that it was during this period that a number of advanced technologies were invented. The developers actively worked to improve the internal combustion engine: new developments of multi-valve engines were in high demand among wealthy clients; at that time, 8, 12 and 16 cylinder V-engines were installed in exclusive cars; Lockheed founder Malcolm Lawhead, the predecessor to modern Lockheed Martin and Europe's largest defense manufacturer, invented hydraulic brakes in 1919. In 1921 they were used in Ford's Model A; In 1924, for the British company Vulcan Motor, Reisler invented an automatic transmission, which featured a two-stage planetary gearbox, a locking clutch, and a torque converter. But this invention was not used; a similar solution appeared only in 1940; Since about 1920, tinted glass began to be used for car glazing. front-wheel drive in 1932-1934 appeared first in the cars of Alvis and Corda, then in the Traction Avant of Andre Citroen. The time of appearance of this invention is debatable; in the specialized racing sector, a similar technical solution was used in 1897; independent suspension first appeared in 1873 (Amédée Bollée), but was introduced into mass production in the Mercedes-Benz 380 in 1933. Most of the technologies in the automobile industry were invented before 1930, as evidenced by the colorful history of automobile manufacturing in Europe. After World War II, the number of inventors and automobile companies declined sharply. Nowadays, many of the inventions have been improved. Automotive manufacturing has become the preserve of a select few, from invention to production. #vintagecars #automotivetechnology #europeanmanufacturing #innovations #silverageculture

💡 V8 engine assembly! The V8 engine consists of a total of eight cylinders in two rows of four cylinders. This engine type is generally preferred for trucks, large SUVs and sports cars. 🚗 Cadillac introduced the V8 engine in 1914 and this design has become the standard for power, smoothness and performance in the automotive industry. Its innovative design included features such as an alloy crankcase, one-piece casting for each cylinder block and head, side valves and an engine displacement of 5.1 litres. This design was not only powerful, but also relatively lightweight, making it a popular choice for luxury and performance vehicles. Follow us: World of Engineering

🚗 Exciting Presentation Announcement 🚗 Dr. Paul Zandbergen closes the session with his presentation on "The Influence of Vehicle Electrification on Chassis Design". He describes his presentation himself: "This presentation examines the key elements of chassis design and the effects of vehicle electrification on the overall platform concept and related chassis technologies. The initial phase of developing a new vehicle chassis involves establishing attribute targets for vehicle dynamics, braking, acceleration, and NVH, and defining dimensional targets that determine the vehicle's exterior design and size, interior space, and maneuverability. These attribute targets need to be partially redefined for a dedicated Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), which is designed around a large, ideally shaped high voltage battery and not limited by components related to Internal Combustion Engines (ICE). Removing the ICE and adding the battery typically improves the NVH performance of the vehicle but also presents challenges to the vehicle dynamics characteristics. The next step during chassis development involves designing the overall chassis system and its subsystems using updated targets for system and component levels. This includes the development of new vehicle underbody structures, suspension, steering, and brake systems. Integrating propulsion systems into the chassis system is necessary to fully optimize the potential of dedicated BEV architectures and partly offset the high material cost and weight associated with the battery cells. Additionally, integrating chassis underbody components into single units can help reduce manufacturing costs. Finally, the presentation will explore the trends in key chassis mechatronics technologies used in electric vehicles. As the development of dedicated BEV architectures grows, there is a corresponding increase in demand for chassis mechatronics technologies. The presentation will discuss some possible explanations for this trend." #AachenColloquium #ack2024 #Innovation #Research #SustainableMobility #Automotive #Chassis #VehicleDynamics #VehicleElectrification
