Develop, test and validate all types of commercial vehicles with TruckMaker
Future transportation solutions are complex and come in many forms. Highly automated and autonomous heavy-duty vehicles as well as continuous efficiency enhancement and e-mobility are more crucial than ever. Some cities are already planning to launch electric and fully automated bus lines. To quickly react to hazards of the urban environment and to advance vehicle development in parallel, virtual test driving is essential.
Our simulation software TruckMaker offers a seamless solution to this end. With our tools, expertise and services, we are a reliable partner to bring pioneering engineering concepts to the road.
What are the everyday challenges for powertrain development?
- Emission regulations determine development
- Total cost of ownership as an important driver for low costs and the highest efficiency
- Simulation-based development processes vital for fast and efficient optimization
- Temperatures, road users and conditions are volatile, which complicates reproduction and optimization in test processes
How do we support you?
- Simulation eliminates real-world testing dependencies
- Digital twin of the powertrain offers efficient optimization possibilities
- High flexibility to integrate customer battery or fuel cell models
- Tests with real-world map data and reproducible environmental, traffic and road conditions
- Traceability of optimizations and adjustments given at all times
