A rise in the sale of electric and hybrid vehicles across the globe and an increase in technological advancement are driving the growth of the global automotive drivetrain technology market.

From the lowliest hatchback to the sleekest supercar, every motor vehicle has one thing in common: a powertrain. It’s the collection of components—the engine, transmission and driveshaft—that work together to get the vehicle in motion.

Porsche's first-ever all-electric race car uses ANSYS simulation software in its advanced powertrain to deliver unmatched energy efficiency. The Porsche 99X Electric is racing to the finish line of the 2019/2020 Formula E Championship.

On 106 pages, the VDE summarises the results of its study on mobility, environmental and climate aspects of rail diesel traffic and recommends full electrification using electric drive technology.

The automotive industry today is all about technology. The demand for highly skilled automotive engineers is about six times as high as the supply, according to a report by the Boston Consulting Group. Playing its part, Pittsburg High School just announced it's adding an automotive program to its course catalog.

The tipping point for solar car technology has arrived. One indicator is the rapidly increasing number of car companies that are incorporating solar bodywork that significantly increases range or reduces battery size.

In 2018, the global in-car infotainment industry was pegged at $11.14 billion. As the market gains impetus from a rise in the adoption of smartphones and a surge in the use of cloud technology, it's expected to reach $21.53 billion by 2026.

With vehicles on the road becoming ever more like computers on wheels, the level of innovation in semiconductor technology is at an all-time high, making it the perfect occasion to take a look at what the future holds for these critical components—and the industry itself.

Although the conventional motor vehicle is well over a century old and was once exclusively powered by heavy mechanical systems, it has evolved with the advent of power electronics (PE). Today, power electronics are incorporated at various levels within all automobiles.

As one of the fastest-growing components of the automotive industry, telematics is becoming an increasingly popular subject amongst mobility experts and enthusiasts.

Olli, a self-driving, electric 3D-printed shuttle, just moved to the Italian city of Turin where it will provide transport services within the ITC-ILO campus for four months.

Volkswagen Group Components intends to support electromobility by implementing robots to provide a completely automated charging process and thereby make the search for a charging station obsolete.

Telcos and their technology suppliers are currently setting the course in the development and standardization of mobile communications. This will no longer be sufficient for 5G.

Renesas Electronics has created the SL78083, a new type of highly integrated power management IC (PMIC) that simplifies power supply design for automotive surround-view camera systems.

Status today: The large telecommunications providers are building mobile networks for a lot of money and then earning a lot of money from the services running on them. Will this also apply to 5G?

Green Hills Software expands its Green Hills Platform for Secure Gateway to enable global carmakers and their suppliers to add new levels of safe and secure performance while mixing applications with differing ASIL certification levels.
