To B2B or not to B2B, that is the question major players in the automotive industry must ask themselves as business-to-business e-commerce -- "B2B" -- becomes the very first trend of the 21st century. With new online alliances being forced almost daily between OEMs and suppliers -- and with some suppliers creating their own networks -- AEI looks at some of the most prominent B2B players. - Global Concepts
This review of some of the more significant vehicles from this past year's motor shows showcases trends in design and technology from the world's automakers. - Automotive electromagnetic emissions measurements
Theoretical modeling and practical measurements are used to investigate the validity of measuring electromagnetic emissions at close ranges. - Assessing and analyzing driveability
Engineers use in-vehicle data-acquistion and analysis tools to develop and refine vehicle calibrations for good driveability performance. - Comparison of frontal crash test pulses
The severity of the full frontal rigid barrier test and sled test is compared to that of the vehicle-to-vehicle crash test. - Side-impact testing for occupant protection
A new device and test methodology can simulate side-impact crashes accurately using a frontal crash simulator and two hydraulic brake systems. - ISO 14001 delivers profits
Registering to the international environmental quality standard pays off in several ways. - Redesigning work processes and computing environments
Technology is having a profound impact on the product development process today, allowing companies to do more work, faster than ever before, while giving them more control over their internal systems and processes. - Going beyond physical tests
Virtual testing is coming of age and is yielding good results.
