Electrifying the UK heavy vehicle market
The Department for Transport Statistics reports that there were 485,900 heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) licenced in the UK in 2020, but only 400 of these were battery electric powered. With HGVs being a significant contributor of carbon emissions, will we see an increase in electric power? Here, Simone Bruckner, Managing Director of power resistor manufacturer Cressall, has explored the potential of electrifying the UK heavy vehicle market.
Fastener challenges for hybrid and electric vehicles
In 2021, the UK replaced France as Europe’s second largest electric car market, after 31,800 new electric vehicles were sold in the first three months of the year. As emissions legislation tightens, government incentives increase and demand spirals, manufacturers are rapidly scaling up their electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid vehicle manufacturing. Here Justin Lawrence, applications engineer at TFC, has discussed the challenges when prod...
Automotive connectivity at the core
Automotive manufacturers race to develop connected and autonomous mobility solutions. However, the automotive connectivity software paradigm is challenging. Since vehicles are built from many subsystems, they require full interoperability between components. Autonomous vehicle designs must last for years, and their systems need to anticipate future challenges, including security and safety requirements. Together, these hurdles make connectivity a...
