Every second counts – in motorsport racing and in R&D

The tech inside the competing vehicle, be it an earthbound race car or airborne drone, is the very essence of motorsports. Putting a successful vehicle on the track is all down to the right kind of R&D. Our approach to development is built on lean processes, efficient methods, model-based software engineering, and compliance with all regulations. And our custom software development capability is your winning proposition for racing success.

What we do at a glance:

• Custom tool development
• Requirements engineering
• Tests (XiL, component and system test bench, complete vehicle, race track)
• Implementation (drive train, battery management, energy recovery)

Speed matters. Time and budgets are tight. Testing countless real-world prototypes is not an option. This is why the design phase has to be entirely virtual – and rapid. This phase entails more virtual work than any other stage of the development process. Our engineers construct the entire vehicle in the virtual realm and run simulations. The team fleshes out every aspect of the vehicle’s fundamental design, including energy management, before a driver or mechanic has been recruited.

What we do at a glance:

• Requirements analysis (technical regulations, vehicle requirements)
• Simulations (components, system, complete vehicle, routes)
• Concepts (E/E architecture, drive train, chassis)
• Algorithms and functions

The on-site mission at the racetrack is to attend to and optimize the legacy system encompassing both driver and vehicle. Our experts handle all optimization-related tasks, preparing the driver and vehicle for the given racetrack, the weather, and other conditions. Count on us to coax the best performance from the material every time.

What we do at a glance:

• Simulations (driver training, race strategy and energy management optimization, lap time simulation)
• Measurements (data acquisition/ telemetry, performance analyses, system evaluation, monitoring)
• Vehicle management/ support (E/E system, hybrid, software, application)
