Cover Story I Hybrid Drives

Highly Efficient Range Extender for Light-duty Vehicles

Over the past 15 years Mahle Powertrain has worked on optimizing hybrid and range extender engines and development of pre-chamber combustion system technology for highly efficient operation. The current project combines both developments in a supercharged three-cylinder range extender engine for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, which was built as a demonstrator. Key focus was on acoustic behavior and high system efficiency.
Cover Story I Hybrid Drives

Lightweight Fuel Cells for Mobility and Aviation

Weight optimization is a key enabler for hydrogen-powered mobility, improving efficiency, range, and cost competitiveness across sectors such as automotive, heavy-duty transport, marine, and aviation. By reducing weight at both stack and system levels, fuel cell technology can meet demanding performance targets and unlock new applications. AVL and Red Bull Advanced Technologies have implemented lightweight construction measures on a fuel cell system to enable high gravimetric power density, which is particularly important in aviation.
In The Spotlight

Sustainable Vehicle lnteriors -Innovative Manufacturing Processes and Environmentally Friendly Materials

The use of sustainable materials in vehicle interiors is anything but trivial for the automotive industry. Although there are innovative approaches, requirements for safety, durability, and cost-effectiveness make their widespread implementation difficult. Nevertheless, these approaches are worth examining, especially since they are already gaining practical relevance in some cases.
Development I Transmission

Acoustic Comparison between Steel and Plastic Gears

IMS Gear has developed a plastic-based balance shaft gearbox and put it into series production. Test bench trials have confirmed that the combination of plastic gears and crankshaft-specific excitation results in a significant improvement in acoustics compared to metal solutions – and also revealed a surprise that at first glance does not correspond with theory and practice.
Research I Fuel Cells

lmpedance Analysis Methods for On-board Diagnosis of Fuel Cell Systems

Fuel cell electric vehicles are a promising solution for sustainable transportation, especially for high-power and long-range applications. Advanced on-board diagnostic tools are needed to monitor the fuel cell stack state of health. As part of the FVV project (no. 1511), researchers from Technische Hochschule Nürnberg and Technische Universität München evaluated electrochemical impedance spectroscopy as a non-intrusive, lightweight, and cost-effective diagnosis solution with strong potential for integration into existing vehicle electronics.

Closing Statement

Read by over 50.000 managers across 50 countries

MTZworldwide is the English digital edition of MTZ, which has been published for over 80 years. Always at the pulse of drive development, its appearance has changed dramatically in recent years. Today it is the international technical-scientific magazine for engineers in drive development with a special focus on the development of electrified and combustion engine drives with a pronounced focus on the electrification of 48-volt to high-voltage and fuel cell applications. The spectrum ranges from innovative passenger car and commercial vehicle drives to components and large engines. Of course, classic topics such as friction minimization, turbocharging or charge cycle and the valvetrain still have a firm place in MTZworldwide. It is therefore a must read for technology-oriented management and promotes the global transfer of information between manufacturers, the supplier industry, service companies and research and development centers all over the world.
