E-mobility: AI system accelerates the development of powertrains

The development of vehicle components is a lengthy and therefore very costly process. Researchers have developed a method that can shorten the development phase of the powertrain of battery electric vehicles by several months. A team is combining simulation models of components with evolutionary optimization algorithms. This AI system automatically optimizes the entire powertrain — from the power electronics to the electric machine through to the transmission — in line with the manufacturer’s technical requirements, taking into account targets such as production costs, efficiency and package space requirements in the vehicle.
