Panel Discussion: The Next Steps for Wheel Bearing Validation

As a follow up to last year's panel discussion on wheel bearing testing, this panel will focus on the future challenges that will need to be met. Previously, a lot of the focus on wheel bearing testing was developing high quality bench tests to ensure good performance of the wheel hubs. Now more testing is being focused on the brake corner system performance. The industry shifts to electric vehicles and faster development times will require innovation how wheel bearings are validated, including in increased focus on using CAE instead of physical testing.
