Green Vehicles (EVs, BEVs, HEVs, and more)

Green Vehicle Suspension Testing

As with conventional vehicles, green vehicle development requires detailed knowledge of how suspension kinematics and compliance affects ride characteristics and vehicle performance.

With the added weight of batteries, battery electric vehicles create unique suspension design challenges that make kinematics and compliance testing an invaluable tool. As more and more vehicle manufacturers enter the green vehicle market, fine-tuning your own vehicles and bench-marking competitor’s vehicles will become increasing important.

We really heavily on K&C data at Lucid Motors, both for simulation and testing. With a lot of the uncertainties and environmental variations of full vehicle testing taken out of the equation we can reach high levels of correlation and trust in our models, and the comparisons to our competition becomes more relevant.

Experience That Counts

K&C testing at Morse has helped us better understand our chassis system and vehicle dynamic behavior.

The data from Morse helps to identify gaps and deficits in our multi-body vehicle simulations – allowing for better quantification of ride and handling characteristics, as well as comparing to available vehicle benchmark data from target market leaders. We’re now able to adjust our vehicle model to a more mature state that reflects the actual prototypes, and then use that model to perform more accurate simulations going forward. This is a key enabler for us to make good design decisions in a timely way and without another round of expensive prototype vehicles; it multiplies the learning from a given prototype significantly.

The enthusiasm, professionalism, and technical competence of the Morse team is very apparent, and the entire K & C process is streamlined and efficient.
