E-VOLVE Cluster WEBINAR

SEE MOBILITY E-VOLV(E)ING: Smart Components for the Software-Defined Vehicle of the Future

On November 22nd 2024, the E-VOLVE Cluster organized another webinar about “Smart Components for the Software-Defined Vehicle of the Future” and gave cluster projects the opportunity to present their take on the topic. As the automotive industry shifts towards increased digitalization, smart components are playing a key role in shaping the next generation of vehicles. The Software Defined Vehicle represents a transformative approach.

Software innovation is key to increase vehicle performance, enable autonomous driving, and offer new services to users. In this webinar 7 projects, all members to the E-VOLVE Cluster, were presenting that are paving the way for this technological shift. Each project showcased how their innovative components contribute to the SDV concept of the future, presenting their latest results, innovations, and future outlook:

INNOVATIVE E-MOTOR TECHNOLOGIES COVERING E-AXLES AND E-CORNERS VEHICLE ARCHITECTURES FOR HIGH-EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE E-MOBILITY
