Abstract

  • VW bucks hybrid convention with 2013 Jetta HEV
    Rather than use a mild-mannered Atkinson-cycle ICE, VW engineers opted for a turbocharger. Their unique P2 hybrid powertrain stands alone in terms of sheer driving fun balanced with efficiency.
  • Synergies strengthen safety systems
    Complementary technologies and data sharing are enabling enhanced collision avoidance. For example, radar and camera sharing the same processor provides a higher level of safety than two separate systems.
  • A 'model' instrument panel
    ANSYS researchers implement simulation-driven product development for thermoforming of instrument panels.
