Assemblies & Applications
This category presents real-world assemblies, modules, and applications from vehicle development.
It focuses on functional systems such as door, roof, and structural modules, as well as components for special-purpose vehicles, commercial vehicles, and industrial applications. The emphasis is on technical challenges and solutions rather than individual projects.
Mechanics for Intelligent Machines: Why Modern Robotics Needs More Than Software
Intelligent software alone does not make a robot ready for real-world operation. Mechanical assemblies must bring weight, protection, kinematics, interfaces and manufacturing together from the outset.
Function-Integrated Housings in Medical Technology
Modern housings in medical technology are far more than an outer shell. A dental application shows how optics, electronics, lighting and mounting features can be integrated into a manufacturable technical assembly from the start.
Lightweight Engineering for Special-Purpose Vehicles: Why Mass Is a Budget
Lightweight engineering for special-purpose vehicles is not about saving every possible kilogram. The key is to reduce mass where it creates technical reserves for protection, payload, range and additional functions.
CFRP hybrid assemblies in mechanical engineering: How lightweight construction improves cycle time
How a function-integrated CFRP-metal hybrid assembly reduces moving mass, creates additional packaging space and increases the cycle performance of a production system – from simulation and engineering to the ready-to-install assembly.
Components and systems for off-road vehicles: requirements, loads and durable solutions
Off-road vehicles place high demands on components and systems. Why design, materials, and integration are crucial for durable solutions.
Aerodynamic vehicle components: Development and integration of rear wings
Aerodynamic vehicle components such as high-performance rear wings influence handling and stability. How the development, simulation, and integration of rear wings work in practice.
Wheel development in automotive engineering: From idea to homologation-ready small series
Wheel development in vehicle engineering requires more than design. How simulation, engineering, and prototyping lead to functional and homologation-ready solutions.
Electromobility in urban transport: Why vehicle concepts need to be rethought.
Electromobility in urban transport requires new vehicle concepts. What requirements and technical solutions are crucial.
Lightweight engineering as the key to sustainable mobility
Lightweight engineering in vehicle development: transferring technologies from high-performance vehicles to efficient, safe, and sustainable vehicle solutions.
System solutions for special vehicles: Robust vehicle technology for extreme requirements
Special vehicles require robust system solutions. How chassis, suspension, and integration work together to ensure reliable performance under extreme conditions.
Vehicle dynamics systems in transition: Why mechanics remain the basis of modern vehicle functions
Modern vehicle dynamics systems are based on mechanical fundamentals. Why suspension and chassis are crucial for safe and functional vehicle solutions.
From clay model to CFRP component: Development of high-quality body components in small series
The development of CFRP body components in small series requires precise coordination between design, engineering, and manufacturing. An insight into the journey from clay model to the finished vehicle component.
