While the market for electric cars continues to grow, manufacturers of such vehicles still face some challenges. These mainly revolve around the issues of charging and range – the industry is increasingly relying on solar power to meet these challenges.
In times of economic crisis and rising fuel prices, drivers are looking for the most economical vehicles possible, while manufacturers are looking for the best ways to efficiently comply with increasingly stringent emission limits. An interesting alternative to the still relatively expensive green modes of transportation are vehicles labeled with the acronym mHEV. What exactly is a mild hybrid?
Modern computer simulations make it possible to accurately digitally represent objects and the impacts they may be subjected to. This method finds excellent application especially in the development of products that, by virtue of their purpose, must have high strength. At Knauf Industries, it is used on a daily basis in the design and development of modern transport packaging made of foamed EPP and EPS plastics.
The engine in an electric car does not generate heat, so EVs must use specially designed heating and cooling systems. Maintaining the right temperature in the cabin in winter is not only a matter of driving comfort, but above all safety, since the windows must not be fogged up or frosted. You should know how an air conditioning system works in order to use it optimally.
Vehicle platforms have many advantages, but using them also comes with some challenges. What are the best practices associated with this solution?
