New CT 200h achieves five-star rating for all-round safety performance in independent Euro NCAP crash testing

With the all-important UK business market in mind, BMW engineers have created a car that is approximately 10 per cent more fuel-efficient than the best its rivals can muster, without reducing the 184hp or 380Nm of torque developed by the 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine. This equates to fuel economy of 62.8mpg and CO2 emissions of 119g/km, which means a company car benefit-in-kind taxation band of only 13 per cent.

Continental's Architecture Migration Demonstrator shows how a vehicle automation system with basic functions can be developed using the technologies available today. The system could soon be developed further into series production.

Delphi Automotive’s award-winning electronically scanning radar (ESR) is now available on the Ford Focus in Europe. Enabling Adaptive Cruise Control with Forward Alert, Delphi’s ESR is helping keep drivers in a wider range of vehicle segments safer.

The new smart brushless DC actuator 5846 Series is a high performance electronically commutated actuator specifically developed for large diesel engines applications aimed at controlling emissions. This powerful actuator delivers peak torque values beyond 6 Nm in a very light and compact housing. Therefore its outstanding compactness makes it easy to integrate in narrow engine compartment. This new smart BLDC actuator features an integrated CAN b...

Infineon Technologies AG today announced its intelligent Signature Watchdog CIC61508. In combination with the company’s powerful 32-Bit TriCore microcontrollers and the dedicated SafeTcore software, the CIC61508 can provide monitoring features compliant up to the highest risk level of functional safety according to the IEC61508 and ISO26262 automotive industry standards. The CIC61508 is a safety watchdog which can be integrated into safety rele...

The limits for nitrates in diesel engine emissions defined by international standards such as EURO 6 (in the European Union) and EPA 2010 TIER IV (from the USA's Environmental Protection Agency) are becoming increasingly strict. Compliance with these tougher limits is not possible without electronically controlled catalytic converters. Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems that use urea injection (with AdBlue) are an especially effective so...

Even in 20 years' time, diesel engines will remain one of the most important powertrain types in passenger cars. Bosch, one of the world's leading providers of diesel systems, has based its forecast on diesel engines' enormous development potential: fuel consumption and emissions will be cut further in the future. The developers at Bosch Diesel Systems are predicting fuel consumption of just 3.6 liters per 100 kilometers for a compact-class diese...

Energy efficiency and environmental compatibility are two of the most important challenges facing the automobile industry. Automobile electronics can provide numerous solutions for future automobiles and is also therefore one of the fastest growing markets in the automotive sector. Around 20% of exhibitors at electronica 2010, the world’s leading trade fair for components, systems and applications for the electrical engineering and electronic...
