Sabo Hema | Looking To Replicate Cv Success In SUV Segment

The company’s focus in the hydraulic shock absorber segment has been on producing high quality products at low cost in order to serve a broader spectrum of OEMs and stay competitive at the global level. Heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) have been a key focus area for Sabo Hema and it has been working closely with OEMs like Ashok Leyland, Daimler, Volvo and Isuzu. Sabo Hema’s strategy is to proactively advance its technological support and personalised design to customers.

STATE OF TECHNOLOGY

The shock absorber technology in the CV domain is currently in its fourth generation based on hydraulics. Given the constant up-scaling and upgradation, multiple damper effects can be achieved from a single unit. The company is working on an adjustable suspension set-up, which fine-tunes itself depending on the road conditions.

The need for advanced suspension technology earlier was not considered important for vehicle safety. However, given the increasing freight movement and logistics and more advanced supply chain management (SCM), the damping requirements for CVs have evolved. This has resulted in quantum changes in infrastructure and coupled with global exposure to latest technologies, the focus areas have also changed, said Ahmed. The shock absorber industry has benefited due to this transformation and has started bench marking quality standards.

Sound Generation For Enhanced Road Safety

With an ever-increasing number of fully electric and hybrid vehicles entering the market, we are witnessing a change in the acoustic experience in and around the car. The silent nature of the electric powertrain means that other road users miss the familiar acoustic cues that warn them of an approaching vehicle. To remedy this situation, Harman is working on various noise management solutions.

OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE SAFETY CONTRIBUTION OF TODAY'S AUTOMOTIVE HEADLAMPS

OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE SAFETY CONTRIBUTION OF TODAY'S AUTOMOTIVE HEADLAMPS

Good lighting makes a major contribution to road safety. In 2011, the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) presented an evaluation system for headlamps that can objectively assess the quality of illumination and glare limitation. New light sources like LEDs and lighting functions (glare-free high beam, partial high beam) have been available for several years, so that an extension of the proven CIE method is necessary, which takes into account, among other things, changed switch-on and service lives of new lighting functions and represents a generally understandable evaluation system. An evaluation system presented in the following by the Technische Uni versität Darmstadt, which was developed by an encompassing expert commission, is intended to provide representative data and enable an objective evaluation of headlamp performance.

FUNCTIONAL SAFETY STANDARDS TOP PRIORITY FOR FUTURE AUTOMOTIVE DEPLOYMENT

Increasing levels of electronic content in vehicles result in a large amount of software that is required to run the scenes behind the mechanical aspects of a vehicle. Electronic systems in automobiles are part of every section, from the powertrain to comfort and convenience systems as well as all types of safety equipment. This makes electronics and the software running these systems a critical part of the equation for future mobility solutions. In addition, putting standards in place to measure methods of developing, testing and functioning of such electronic systems also becomes highly relevant.
