IntroductionIn the realm of automotive engineering, vehicle aerodynamics and design play a pivotal role in shaping not only the aesthetic appeal of cars but also their performance, fuel efficiency, and overall functionality.

Individual Solutions for Vehicle Development Innovative components and systems, which are perfectly coordinated both in their own function and in the interaction of the subsystems, form the basis for the development of marketable vehicles. In the field of thermal management in particular, we are making decisive contributions at every stage of development, from the concept phase through the entire development period to series release. This includes comprehensive tests on the entire vehicle as well as on individual components and subsystems. Special focus is placed on the interaction of the systems in the vehicle and the requirements for thermal comfort, efficiency and vehicle acoustics.

Trying to fit so much in so little a space. As much as I wanted the traditional pick-up truck (van/bakkie) design, I couldn't forsee how much a challenge it would be to fit the mechanical parts and electronics. EV designs tend to feature a unibody style, the cab and load-bed being a single piece, it would have given me just as much room as I have in the front. By its nature, this is an electric van, but going the EV design route would have been less fun, maybe my design would have been less cheesy, but I was more interested in the extended functionality and flexibility provided by a removable load-bed. Just a few more tweaks to complete the rear end implementation, next is to explore how to implement an all wheel drive system for 4x4 traction, this could be through a centre differential or a second motor, the second motor would be fun with computational capacity, the computer will adjust each motor's performance dynamically as the vehicle drives and in response to sensor data. In the current implementation I will in total have 3 motors, two for drive and 1 for steering; by the time I redo the whole drivetrain (with different materials) I can put as much as 4 drive motors, one for each wheel, it will make it so much fun to drive. #roboticschallenge #electronics #roboticsforkids #mechanicalengineering #rcracing #technician #roboticseducation

I never realized how complex EV design really is—until now 🤯 I always thought switching from combustion engines to electric vehicles was mostly about batteries and motors. But the more I’ve looked into it, the more I’ve realized how much the entire chassis has to be re-engineered from the ground up – not just changing the engine with a battery... done. And you know what? Some of the challenges really surprised me... For example: 1️⃣ Weight vs. Strength EVs are heavier because of their batteries, but you can’t just add more material to make them stronger—otherwise, efficiency and range take a hit. So how do engineers find the perfect balance? 2️⃣ Material Mismatch & Fatigue EV chassis are often made from a mix of aluminum, steel, and composites. But these materials expand and contract at different rates, which can lead to long-term fatigue and weak points. How do manufacturers work around this? 3️⃣ Instant Torque = Suspension Stress Unlike gas cars, EVs deliver full torque instantly, putting huge strain on suspension components. Add the extra weight of a battery pack, and traditional suspension designs don’t cut it anymore. How do engineers compensate for this without sacrificing comfort or handling? I recently came across the work of Paul Sainthon, who has led chassis engineering at Karma and now Ford, tackling exactly these problems. It made me realize how much chassis design is an overlooked but critical part of EV development. This is a leading example of innovation, which I admire a lot! If you work in automotive engineering, I’d love to connect and hear your thoughts—what’s the biggest challenge in EV design right now? What solutions or innovations are you most excited about? #AutomotiveEngineering #EVDevelopment #ChassisDesign #ElectricVehicles #Innovation #MechanicalEngineering #Sustainability #OrangeCounty #Irvine

There is a design flaw in some modern cars that has started to spread; namely, the exterior body of the car being filled with sharp angles. I will not talk about it from aerodynamics point of view, but I will do in terms of making these parts impossible to fully repair via bodywork when a collision occurs. There is a strong likelihood that this flaw is intentional in order to force the user to replace the parts rather than repairing them. This practice dates back to the period when major companies started adopting the policy of planned obsolescence, where products are designed to fail early. This is why car companies stopped manufacturing cars like the "Cressida", "Crown Victoria" and others. Worse than that is when companies adopt what I call "forced obsolescence", such as the continuous changes in phone charger heads that forces users to replace their phones due to the scarcity of the old charger heads. The design of these sharp angles carries the same forced obsolescence spirit, and I suspect that it is currently being tested by automotive engineers to see its impact on the sales of exterior body parts. The peak of this issue is represented in the "sharp angle fest" of the Hyundai Elantra's new model (2021 to date), where no single piece of the exterior body is left without this flaw, even reaching a small piece as tiny as the fuel cap cover! I hope I am wrong but my teaching of the course "Introduction to Engineering Design" has taught me the long history of such ill practices in the engineering profession. I have found that corruption in engineering takes subtle forms that the general public is often unaware of either due to the meticulous tricks used or due to the lack of public knowledge about engineering principles. The video in the link below talks about the secret meeting of light bulb manufacturers when deciding to adopt the policy of planned obsolescence, which ended the era of never-broken light bulbs. The video shows a light bulb they made before this policy, which has been working for over a million hours without being turned off for a single second! https://lnkd.in/dWQH2tDK

Automotive Wiring Harnesses: The Unsung Heroes of Modern Vehicles Automotive wiring harnesses are the intricate networks of wires and connectors that play a crucial role in the functionality of modern vehicles. These seemingly unassuming components are responsible for transmitting electrical power and signals throughout the vehicle, enabling everything from the ignition system to the entertainment console to operate smoothly. The complexity of automotive wiring harnesses is often underestimated. They consist of numerous wires of different gauges, colors, and functions, all neatly organized and bundled together. These wires are carefully routed through the vehicle's body, avoiding areas of heat, vibration, and potential damage. Connectors are used to join the wires at various points, ensuring a secure and reliable electrical connection. One of the key challenges in designing automotive wiring harnesses is ensuring durability. Vehicles are subjected to a wide range of environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures, moisture, and vibration. Wiring harnesses must be able to withstand these conditions and continue to function properly over the life of the vehicle. This requires the use of high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes. Another important aspect of automotive wiring harnesses is safety. These components must be designed to prevent electrical shorts, fires, and other hazards. Fault-tolerant designs and redundant systems are often employed to ensure that the vehicle remains safe even in the event of a wiring failure. In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards lightweighting in the automotive industry. This has led to the development of new materials and designs for wiring harnesses that are lighter in weight without sacrificing durability or performance. Additionally, advancements in technology have led to the integration of more electronics into vehicles, increasing the complexity of wiring harnesses and the need for advanced design and manufacturing techniques. In conclusion, automotive wiring harnesses are essential components of modern vehicles. Their complexity, durability, and safety are crucial factors in ensuring the proper functioning and safety of the vehicle. As the automotive industry continues to evolve, so too will the technology and design of wiring harnesses, playing an increasingly important role in the future of transportation.
