When designing giga castings, incorporating a well-planned collision repair strategy is essential for enhancing vehicle maintenance efficiency. In the Tesla Model Y, for example, the single-piece rear floor casting includes a cut line feature, allowing for precise trimming after a low-speed rear impact. This enables a strategic rework by attaching a replacement part using high-strength structural rivets and bolts, offering a more efficient solution than the traditional bolt-on aluminum extrusion. By reducing process time, parts count, and complexity, this approach improves repairability while maintaining structural integrity. Such strategies should be a key focus in giga casting designs moving forward. #gigacasting #automotivedesignstrategy #designforservice

In a recent benchmark study comparing the rear gigacasting of the Zeekr 009 with the Tesla Model Y, we uncovered key differences in how these vehicles manage rear-end collisions. As the use of gigacasting becomes more widespread in vehicle rear bodies, concerns are growing around the behavior of these large components during collisions and their repairability. 👉 Our study revealed that the Zeekr 009 uses two longitudinal extruded profiles to protect the casting, which engage during medium-speed collisions, leaving the casting intact. Additionally, the fastening between the casting and the longitudinal beam is secured with screws, making replacement more straightforward. 👉 On the other hand, the Tesla Model Y relies on the legs of the rear casting as the main absorption element, featuring ribs and a wavelike pattern designed to compress during deformation. However, this design requires the entire module to be replaced even in low-to-mid-speed collisions, raising sustainability and #cost concerns due to the need to scrap large aluminum castings. We’d love to hear your thoughts on these differences and their potential impact on the future of gigacasting in automotive design. 🗨 Join the conversation and share your insights below! 👇 #Zeekr009 #TeslaModelY #gigacasting #repairability #sustainability

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

🔧 I'm excited to share this important topic about gearboxes and how they impact your car's performance! 🔧 The gearbox is one of the most critical components of any car. It’s responsible for transmitting engine power to the wheels in a way that aligns with the car's speed and driving conditions. The gearbox adjusts the gear ratios to control the torque and speed needed, whether you’re driving in the city or on highways. There are two main types of gearboxes: 1. (Manual Gearbox) : This gives the driver full control over shifting gears using the clutch and gear lever, offering high performance and a direct connection to the engine. 2. (Automatic Gearbox) : Shifts gears automatically based on the car's speed and driving conditions, providing a smooth and convenient driving experience. 🔑 Why is the Gearbox Important? - Improves the vehicle’s performance by balancing speed and torque. - Helps reduce fuel consumption when used efficiently. - Directly impacts the engine's lifespan and the car’s overall performance. 🔧 What Materials are Used in Manufacturing the Gearbox? Manufacturing a gearbox requires durable, high-quality materials to withstand the stress and friction involved in power transmission. Key materials include: - Heat-treated steel: Used for gears and shafts due to its strength and resistance to wear. - Aluminum : Commonly used for the gearbox housing, as it is lightweight and strong, reducing vehicle weight and improving efficiency. - Titanium : Found in some advanced gearboxes, particularly in sports cars, thanks to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. - Reinforced plastics : Used in non-essential components to reduce weight and cost. If you're looking to optimize your performance on the road, start by understanding the role of the gearbox and the materials that make it efficient! #Automotive #Gearbox #ManufacturingMaterials #Cars #Technology #Performance #Driving

🚗 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
