Talking from the twowheelers' perspective, Gavin Hardman, Head Chassis Design, Center for Innovative Technologies, Hero MotoCorp, said vehicle dynamics is a critical element in twowheeler design, and there are opportunities in future vehicles with a lot more electronic interventions
M U B Rao, Head Engineering, Mahindra Truck & Bus Division, said that vehicle dynamics in CVs must ensure a good tradeoff between safety and customer satisfaction. The onus is on the OEMs to bring out frugal solutions, as the severe complexities have to be addressed owing to several variables.
Amardeep Singh, HeadChassis Design Validation, Maruti Suzuki India, said that the industries are different, but vehicle dynamics' language remains the same.
Prashant Vijay, DGM, ICAT and Convenor, Motion in Control, said that with the power of vehicles increasing, there is a need for better control that comes under dynamics engineering. There must be challenges for engineers, which will enable them to come out with better solutions, he added.
The event was supported by Axis Bank as the Banking Partner, Bosch and CEAT as Technology Demonstration Partners. ATS as Technology Partner, ABDynamics as Platinum Sponsor and OXTS as the Gold Sponsor.
