• Managing variant variety: simulation and transparent management of future powertrains in many different versions
• Efficient development: testing and optimizing operating strategies and new powertrain functions already on a virtual vehicle
• Improving safety: reliable control of electric powertrain components even at the limits of vehicle dynamics

We offer you a modular simulation environment and the corresponding know-how for the (real-time) simulation of alternative powertrain concepts, including energy and thermal management. Furthermore, you will also benefit from our engineering expertise based on many years of project experience in reducing fuel consumption and CO2. Our services range from requirements creation and model development to database-based data management and evaluation methodology.

Application examples of our simulation software and engineering services:

• CO₂ reduction: fuel/energy consumption prognosis for vehicles with electrified powertrains and auxiliary units
• Efficient hybrid operating strategy: development, optimization, and testing of hybrid vehicle functions in the virtual complete vehicle
• Longitudinal dynamics and recuperation: controller development for electric brake systems
• Lateral dynamics: component design and controller development for dynamics interventions
• Stable on-board electric power network: design of on-board electric components and testing in MiL/SiL/HiL simulation
• Monitoring of driving performance and fuel consumption of individual vehicles and vehicle fleets
• Assessment of the fuel consumption influence in thermal management
• Design and operation of customer-specific driving performance and fuel consumption simulation tools
• Requirements and concept development on the system and component levels
