Dash-CAE has launched the TR01, a carbon monocoque chassis for road or race cars that is claimed to deliver a “step change” in price to performance ratio. The headline figures are a stiffness of 35,000Nm/Deg, a weight of 50kg, and a price below £30,000 (US$38,000)
ZF has optimised the components of its electric driveline and combined them into a compact system with a claimed 30% lower overall weight and a torque density of 70 Newton metres per kilogram of drive weight. ZF is also launching a Chassis Solutions division
Out 20th anniversary issue! The May 2023 issue of Vehicle Dynamics International magazine is now available online, with features including Polestar’s chief chassis engineer discussing how to optimise the dynamics of a performance EV, EV-focused developments in tyre engineering, and 20 years of dynamics highlights
SELL: The Eurecat technology centre has joined the Fatigue4Light EV chassis lightweighting project, contributing by developing new tests and computer simulation methods to better estimate the fatigue life of chassis components and select the optimal materials for lighter vehicle chassis
Three providers of automotive simulation technology have joined forces with the aim of disrupting and improving how chassis components for autonomous vehicles are designed, tested and validated
Lamborghini has developed the ‘monofuselage’, an aeronautics-inspired monocoque concept made entirely of carbon fibre. The chassis will feature in the LB744, the successor to the Aventador, with a 100% composite front structure, increased strength and torsional stiffness, and reduced weight
Delve into some of the LB744’s innovations, including how the ‘monofuselage’ aeronautics-inspired monocoque carbon fibre concept offers durability, torsional stiffness and weight reduction
The newly developed cubiX software – ZF’s first pure software product –controls all chassis systems to achieve a harmonious blend of smooth acceleration and braking, precise steering, and balanced damping. The intelligent networking of all chassis systems can enable optimally controlled longitudinal, lateral and vertical dynamics
With a diverse range of models, many variations of track widths and wheels, and an increasing number of driver-assistance systems, CV production requires flexibility for measuring and adjusting chassis geometry at the end of line
