Two years after the third-generation Mitsubishi Outlander arrived in the U.S. market, the crossover utility vehicle was revised for the 2016 MY with new signature front-end styling and 100-plus engineering and design changes.
The 2016 seven-passenger crossover redesign reflects Mitsubishi's new design language and its powertrain features a new CVT with ratio spread of 7.0 for improved performance and fuel economy.
Mitsubishi's top North American product planner talks about the 2016 Outlander and why his team is getting more design and engineering responsibility going forward.
Intersil is focusing on this trend, unveiling a four-channel analog video decoder with a built-in analog video encoder that supports 360 degree monitoring and backup cameras.
The all-new Armor Max Pro Grade MSD tire from Goodyear builds on the toughness of the Goodyear G177, while providing enhanced traction, miles to removal and retread ability.
Goodyear G731 MSA and G751 MSA tires for mixed-service applications enable construction, dump, cement mixers, and other fleets to travel across challenging surfaces.
With Kistler’s KiBox, information about combustion, injection valve actuation and ignition can be reliably captured, processed and viewed in the familiar INCA environment, among others.
As humans obey traffic rules and follow a framework of cautious driving to a large extent, autonomous vehicles function by anticipating possible driving hazards and risks with so-called ‘super-human perception.’
Performance, reliability, and safety assessments performed using predictive capability for electromechanical systems are on the rise, yet no standard exists in the truck and off-highway engineering design industry for representing the degree to which a model has been validated. Such a standard can enable engineers and managers with a tool to assess the maturity of predictive capability itself.
UniPhi from SimuQuest, Inc. (Ann Arbor, MI) is an intelligent power tool that frees up time for innovation by automating error-prone manual tasks in the design and development of vehicle control systems and software.
The new release of MapleSim from Maplesoft makes it substantially easier to explore and validate designs, create and manage libraries of custom components, and use MapleSim models within the engineering toolchain.
Modeling and simulation continue to help suppliers and OEMs provide systems and vehicles that do more work while conserving fuel, reducing emissions and keeping costs in check. A broad range of tools come into play as engines and aftertreatment systems move through the design cycle.
