Schaeffler secures volume orders for commercial vehicle electric traction motors, hybrid modules

Green Car Congress

It also features wave winding technology, an innovation that makes installation less complex and increases power density. In wave winding, several wires are wound onto the winding blade, which moves along one step for each winding. Schaeffler has also secured a volume production order for hybrid modules.

Surrey study investigates effect of group cycling on exposure to pollutants

Green Car Congress

In an open access paper in the Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics , researchers at the University of Surrey (UK) have investigated the effect of group riding on cyclists’ exposure to vehicle pollutants. With more wind, riding towards the back of the group can be a good strategy to minimize exposure. 2023.105333
