The Nextgear differential is a novel design, focused on reducing size and weight while maintaining high power output. It features a sphere or roller differential on converging elliptical tracks, which allows for a significantly smaller diameter (approximately 90mm, compared to typical 180mm). The system is adaptable to various vehicle types, including electric vehicles (EVs), where it integrates into the E-Axle system. This innovation is protected by patents in several countries, including Italy, the USA, China, Japan, and South Korea. Nextgear’s differential promises to be highly adaptable, offering configurations suitable for various applications, including electric and thermic vehicles. Its compactness and reduced weight make it an attractive option for modern vehicle design .

CATL's New Chassis Is made Of "amazing materials", according to CATL, and that their chassis passed the "highest speed + strongest impact" dual extreme safety test. According to CATL, the Bedrock Chassis sets new benchmarks for EV safety by incorporating cutting-edge technologies and materials. CATL uses submarine-grade hot-formed steel, aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, and multiple barrier structures to build the chassis. The overall chassis design integrates the battery pack within a "three-dimensional biomimetic tortoise shell structure," mimicking nature's own protective shell. The structure is further fortified with a "high-ductility energy-absorbing insulation film" that dissipates impact forces. Dubbed the "Bedrock Chassis," the innovative platform went through rigorous testing, including a 120 km/h (75 mph) frontal collision with a pole, and survived without any sign of thermal runaway, fire, or explosion. You can watch the crash test in a video embedded at the bottom of this article. #electricvehicles #evs https://lnkd.in/g6MZ9qGt

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

#snsinstitution #snsdesginthinkers #desginthinking Hypercar is a design concept car developed by energy analyst Amory Lovins at the Rocky Mountain Institute. This vehicle would have ultra-light construction with an aerodynamic body using advanced composite materials, low-drag design, and hybrid drive.[1] Designers of the Hypercar claim that it would achieve a three- to five-fold improvement in fuel economy, equal or better performance, safety, amenity, and,[clarification needed] compared with today's cars.[2] 1994, the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) founded the Hypercar Center to help prove its technical feasibility and commercial reality. The concept was placed in the public domain to maximize competition in capturing its market and manufacturing advantages. The "Hypercar" would be a "hybrid electric/hydrogen-fuelled family vehicle that had only a few parts, was made of lightweight carbon but was stronger than steel, used existing technologies, weighed half a normal car of its size, and could travel the equivalent of 300 miles to the gallon. It was designed to have next to no emissions and, using its batteries, could become a power plant on wheels when parked, eliminating the need for nuclear or coal-power stations".[3]

🚀 Introducing the Tesla Cybertruck! 🚀 This futuristic vehicle is a true highlight of current automotive industry, featuring stainless steel components and an all-stainless steel exterior. The 300-series stainless steel panels have a thickness of 1.8 mm for the doors and 1.4 mm for the body. Unlike conventional automobile parts, these panels cannot be stamped; instead, they are laser-cut and bent along straight lines. Tesla had to invent a manufacturing process called "air bending," which shapes the steel with high air pressure without actually touching the surface, ensuring unparalleled durability and precision. Whether you're navigating urban jungles or exploring the great outdoors, this truck is designed to keep you protected and moving forward. #StainlessSteel #Innovation #RobustDesign #ArmoredGlass #FuturisticVehicles #EngineeringMarvel #SustainableTransport #AirBending #LaserCutting

Electric bikes have revolutionized personal mobility, allowing riders to tackle longer distances and steeper terrains with ease. In our latest whitepaper, Dipak Mane and Anand Vayda explore the nuances of hub motors powering ebikes, specifically highlighting: ❖ Hub Motor Performance Attributes: High torque and speed in compact hub motors require adjusting design variables like diameter, length, and pole pairs. Efficiency depends on lamination steel, slot shape, and slot fill. ❖ Hub Motor Design Tradeoffs: Engineers balance weight, compactness, efficiency, reliability, and cost using materials like lightweight polymers and powder metallurgy, ensuring high power density, broad speed range, and robust construction.
