The December 2025 issue of Vehicle Dynamics International magazine is now available online! The issue is packed full of dynamics developments, interviews and the latest technologies, including:
Cover story: Torque vectoring
We brought together a panel of dynamics experts from Ferrari, NIO, GKN, Bosch and Horiba Mira to discuss the direction that torque vectoring technology is taking.
Vehicle Dynamics International Awards
The VDI Awards recognise excellence across the dynamics sector, from complete vehicles, to dynamics components, to simulation and development tools, and test facilities. The international judging panel had a tough task deciding 2025’s winners.
Brake testing technology
Whether testing complete brake assemblies or subcomponents, there is a wide range of dedicated test systems on the market. From friction testers, to inertia-type brake dynos, NVH dynos, telemetry and more, we have found some great options for R&D teams
And also:
The sharper Genesis GV60
Genesis has enhanced the ride and handling setup of its GV60, with meaningful updates to its damper valving, hydro bushes and ride-frequency balance.
Hyundai electronically controlled suspension
Four senior research engineers from Hyundai Motor Group’s Vehicle Motion Control Development Team discuss the Road Preview system.
Honda’s next-generation mid-size HEV platform
Honda has adopted a new approach to body rigidity management for its new platform, designed to enhance vehicle stability.
On the road with the 911 Carrera 2 GTS
VDI spent time in the 992.2 Porsche Carrera 2 GTS, a landmark 911 that brings in T-Hybrid technology.
Dynamic Legends
The Ford Focus is no more. VDI looks back at the 2009 Focus RS, which brought in RevoKnuckle technology to tame its handling.
Products & Services
Real-time simulation
VI-CarRealTime from VI‑grade is a real-time simulation environment that can deliver high fidelity and validated accuracy, and can be used consistently across the entire vehicle development lifecycle.
Achieving the perfect ride
How can the ‘perfect’ ride best be defined, and how can it be achieved? John Kinnick, vice president & general manager, Monroe Ride Solutions, Tenneco, shares his views.
ADAS/AD testing
The Compact 3D Radar Test Bench from dSpace can realise multi-target and multi-angle simulations for reproducible tests of ADAS/AD functions – even remotely and automatically, 24 hours a day.
Vehicle Inertia Measurement
S-E-A’s flagship test system, the Vehicle Inertia Measurement Facility (VIMF), has been providing centre-of-gravity (CG) and inertia measurements for over 30 years, and the company now has new equipment options.
High-speed cameras
Engineers can advance their vehicle dynamics research with Photron’s FastCam high-speed cameras.
Next-generation semi-active roll control
BWI Group has developed a new evolution of its Semi-Active Roll Control (SARC) technology, which gives precise control over roll stiffness for the latest generation of SUVs, without restricting wheel travel.
Intelligent robotic driving
Robots meet proving ground safety rules thanks to a partnership between Stähle and RAJD.
DIL simulation
Ian Haigh, solutions manager at Ansible Motion, discusses the benefits of Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) simulation.
