Nick Flaherty traces the line where digital models of components meet simulation to experience a vehicle before it is even built
Virtual design methodologies are increasingly being adopted in the development of e-mobility platforms – combining digital models of components with simulation to create a digital twin of an entire vehicle that can be driven before it has even been built. Read more…

Battery leak testing

  By


Peter Donaldson delves into the world of battery leak testing.
With the exception of old, British motorbike engines – it was said that if they’re not leaking, there’s no oil in them – leaks from anything are usually a sign of a problem.
The escape of liquids such as coolant and electrolyte are undesirable, and the emission of gases can be the first warning sign of a thermal runaway. Read more…

AI and battery management systems

alt=’E-Mobility Engineering’>
AI is with us and it’s being incorporated into battery management systems (BMS), but its implementation faces challenges, writes Peter Donaldson.
Machine learning (ML) is applied to improve the accuracy of state estimation, with neural networks and support vector machines analysing historical data, and driving patterns and environmental conditions to estimate, predict and optimise battery states of charge, health and power. Read more…

Doosan Bobcat is using electrification to not only reduce emissions in construction but also radically change the operation of compact track loaders, reports Will Gray
Construction is not the first industry you think of when it comes to sustainability or electrification. Heavy, power-hungry machines do not immediately suggest the ideal platform for battery-powered performance, yet Bobcat has discovered the opposite, with its new T7X compact track loader outperforming its diesel-powered equivalent in almost every area.

Motor testing

  By


Peter Donaldson examines various means of testing electric motors.
Although mechanically simple, compared with internal combustion engines, the electric motors forming the heart of the propulsion system of EVs of all kinds must go through intensive testing. This involves the use of many technologies and procedures to probe performance, efficiency, reliability and safety at every stage of manufacture and integration. Read more…
