Project

Automotive · Systems Engineering & Development

  • Premium sports car manufacturer, complete vehicle development
  • All model series: base scope plus derivatives, twelve milestones per vehicle project
  • Engaged continuously since 2016
  • Current phase: 4 fiscal years
  • approx. €670,000
  • Fixed price per milestone with acceptance

Challenge

  • Every design change alters the weight and center of gravity of every variant
  • Track weight targets per derivative from project start to production start
  • One database that design, program management and chassis trust

Solution

  • Weight forecast per milestone, equipment options at part-number level
  • Weight benchmark against the competition, weighing of components and vehicles
  • Mass moments of inertia and products of inertia for chassis development
  • Individual tasks via a ticket system, acceptance per milestone

Result

  • All milestone deliveries from 2023 to 2025 accepted by protocol
  • Ten years of continuous engagement, most recently for three group brands
  • One database for design, chassis and program management
