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.

At a test site, DLR measured the safe data transmission over 5G between trains. Measurement results showed that communication up to 130 m is possible.

A study by Roland Berger predicts that the cost of electronic components per vehicle will more than double by 2025. The main driver is growing electromobility; automation and autonomy are other factors.

We are entering an era in which connected vehicles are the new norm. As a result, the market is seeing increased penetration of advanced vehicle safety systems, growing demand for electric vehicles, and a boom in mobility sharing technologies. What’s more, autonomous vehicles are likely only about a decade away. All of this is leading to an increased need for automotive electronics.

To accelerate its global expansion, the Shanghai-based electronics manufacturing services (EMS) company Universal Scientific Industrial (USI) intends to acquire French Asteelflash, the second-largest EMS company in Europe.

The Sony electric car prototype is called Vision-S. It is primarily intended to show which technical developments the Japanese company has in its portfolio and how these are applicable in the mobility sector.

Blockchain technology: a passing trend or an essential tool that can create trust and transparency? Industry channels are awash with predictions about the fledging technology, which doesn’t align itself to any sector but could be beneficial to many.

Deutsche Post's research project Netz_eLOG with more than 60 street scooters is investigating the flexibility potential of electric fleets and the possibilities of intelligent grid integration.

Electric cars, plug-in hybrid vehicles, robots, and industrial machines can soon be charged with high power using wireless transmission. The aim is to replace the power cables needed to charge electric vehicles and in industrial applications with wireless power transmission - a technology that is making rapid progress thanks to intensive investment in research and development.

In modern automotive technology, wiring systems have to be suitable for high data transmission rates, and the connection technology should take up as little space as possible.

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.

5G is defined as a comprehensive set of rules that includes functions for every communication application you can think of - from broadband turbo to low-power goods tracking to ultra-short latency automation. Can 5G actually replace existing techniques?
