High-frequency abnormal noises continue to pose challenges to engineers when developing electric and hybrid vehicles.

Jordan Craven, our Senior Engineer, and Rob Hoffman, US Director of Development and Test, recently spoke to Automotive Testing, a key publication covering automotive evaluation, diving into the increased interactions caused by the complex electronic, electromagnetic and mechanical subsystems in highly integrated electrified powertrains.

Jordan discussed the importance of understanding noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) considerations and having effective simulation capabilities to identify issues before they emerge in prototype hardware. Rob shed light on the importance of having the right development and test methodologies in place to support the NVH development of modern powertrains.

Transitioning to electrification opens up a lot of possibilities with many new design decisions to be made, including whether or not to replace fluid power system components. Jason Schneider, chief engineer of Electrified Powertrain at DSD, examines the impact of electrification on hydraulics and pneumatic components and explains key points to consider during the design process.
