University of Bath and Kistler cooperate in complex powertrain analysis

University of Bath and Kistler cooperate in complex powertrain analysis

The automotive industry is moving fast into an era where electric power is used as the primary power source with hydrocarbon fuels in a supporting role. The use of the “Plug-in Hybrid” concept presents challenges to powertrain designers that demand new technologies to define the parameters of the propulsion systems. Optimising vehicle emissions and fuel efficiency are the main goals without compromising performance and drivability.  The University of Bath and Kistler have co-operated on a project to define how technology can be used to provide an objective and repeatable analysis.

Miniature sensors open up a host of new applications

Miniature sensors open up a host of new applications

Miniaturisation makes it possible to accommodate high-performance sensors, including evaluation, inside compact housings with practically the same installation space. This saves installation time and simplifies setup, while IO-Link simplifies parameterisation during operation. As a result, it is often possible to implement new applications.
