- Driving EVs toward lower cost
The race is on to reduce battery and electric-drive systems costs while improving efficiency. - Seeking ways to make better computer crashes
New models and simulations help improve safety as software and hardware provide more realism to iterate designs more quickly. - Evaluating aluminum bonds
Adhesively joined aluminum alloy sheets present challenges that steel-adhesive joints do not. Ford researchers present a modified technique to inspect Al-adhesive joints in lab and production environments. - Leading the attack on engine pumping losses
Cylinder deactivation delivers real-world fuel economy gains, helping vehicles to meet and exceed their sticker numbers. That's why the downsized/boosted guys now want it on their engines.
