Supporting a sports car manufacturer in weight management

The
Challenge

In the focus of climate change, the demands on mobility are increasing. The focus here is particularly on energy requirements. The electrification of vehicles brings the opportunity to establish more sustainable mobility, but also harbors the risk of losing advantages through increased energy consumption due to the increase in weight, especially in the battery area.

In the development of vehicles, it is extremely important to find out at an early stage how heavy the end product will be. This affects the design, dynamics and fuel consumption of the vehicle.

Emposo has been a partner since 2016, not only in the automotive industry, to reliably provide detailed weight information.

The
Solution

Emposo has a twelve-strong, constantly growing team of experts in weight management with many years of expertise. We provide information based on which the customer is able to make informed decisions in product development. For example, our information flows into tire development, vehicle dynamics development or the homologation of vehicles all over the world. The information begins with the calculation of total vehicle weights at item number level, through the calculation of equipment options with the associated country weight calculation, to the calculation of mass moment of inertia and moments of deviation for chassis development.

The Benefit
Delivered

We have contributed to qualitatively and sustainably improving the development of vehicles. Through our work, resource-intensive testing of vehicles can be saved, which entails improvements in terms of time, money and sustainability.

Through customer-specific, tailor-made solutions, we get the best out of every company.

We are constantly developing in order not only to become more efficient in the future, but also to be able to provide customers with better and better solutions to new problems.
