ET Auto: New Energy Leadership Summit | Role of Simulation in the Electrification Era

The automotive industry has been the birthplace for innovation and the recent electric disruption has created an impetus to evolve faster. India has seen a strong pivot towards battery electric vehicle (BEV) in the 2W, 3W space, along with encouraging adoption in the 4W and mass transit vehicles, with companies exploring BEV, Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) amongst the technology mix.

With the myriad of options available from the vehicle level to powertrain to component level (battery, motor types, cooling strategies), lack of legacy design knowledge and an exponentially large operating envelope of traditional testing driven product development approach can cause timeline and cost challenges. This is where Virtual designs and development of products becomes the need of the hour!

This 1-day Summit brings together the eminent leadership from various firms (OEM’s, Supplier’s etc.) who would be sharing their thoughts on the new energy ecosystem, the challenges associated with it and the role of Simulation in tackling these challenges.

Through keynotes, panel discussion, case studies, technical presentations we will also be focusing on key aspects where simulation needs to be leveraged in the electrification era, right from simple component sizing analysis to a full virtual battery thermal runaway test!
