New compact utility leverages Fuji Heavy Industries' latest global platform for improved ride, handling, NVH attenuation and crashworthiness. But power and torque are lacking.

Equipped with Continental sensor technology, the height of ContiTech’s air springs can now be adjusted electronically, the internal pressure monitored and the internal temperature measured.

Lightweighting, direct fuel injection and turbocharging have been vital to achieving significant improvements in performance and efficiency; however, mechanical solutions alone cannot solve these challenges, says Dana CTO George Constand. Integrated electronics and software solutions are key for overall system design strategies.

Officials and engineers at Boeing in Seattle are offering a glimpse into their vision for hypersonic air travel. They have released, for the first time, images of one of the company’s hypersonic air vehicle concepts for potential military and commercial passenger transport.

On June 6, a joint team from ONERA – internationally known as “The French Aerospace Lab” – and Germany’s DLR completed an eight-day course of static ground vibration testing on the new model.

UQM Technologies signed a development agreement with Meritor to jointly develop E-axles for the medium- and heavy-duty EV commercial market, according to a February 2 announcement. Prototypes are expected by early fall of 2017.

Startup-company Twin Spring Coupling features its new power transfer coupling that is warrantied to 300 lb·ft (407 N·m) of torque.

Bosch upgrades ABS module for stability control that doesn't intrude.

Researchers from Tsinghua University propose a new type of EHPS system suitable for heavy-duty commercial vehicles, with the purpose of reducing the power demand of an electric motor while guaranteeing sufficient power assist. The motor is only activated on-demand, which also helps to improve fuel economy.

The basic concept of the tire hasn’t changed since stone rollers used to help build the pyramids--it’s the way we make them and the design that has changed, says Ydo Doornbos of Trelleborg Wheel Systems Americas.
