Fast-moving industry trends are having a major impact on the future plans of the world\u2019s automakers.<\/p>\n
Fast-moving industry trends such as electromobility, autonomous driving and car sharing are having a major impact on the future plans, and finances, of the world\u2019s automakers. Those impacts are being exacerbated by regulations designed to combat climate change that forcibly accelerate the rate of change well beyond the evolutionary pace that has long been the auto industry norm. And the impacts extend all the way from the shop floor to the boardroom.<\/p>\n
As a result, the industry is in a transitional period that necessitates rapid development of new systems and solutions at the same time it must maintain all its normal functions and operations. It\u2019s a tall order and it\u2019s not just the automakers themselves that must adapt. So too must their suppliers.<\/p>\n
There is a growing demand for components designed to make vehicles significantly lighter, quieter and more environmentally-friendly, while also enhancing driving comfort and keeping vehicles affordable. A tall order indeed!<\/p>\n
As the global market and technology leader in acoustic and thermal management for vehicles, our long-time World Car Awards partner Autoneum does not only develop and manufacture innovative components for noise and heat protection, but also supports OEM partners in finding the perfect acoustic package for any car model. The world\u2019s first online configurator \u2018Acoustic Garage\u2019 from Autoneum (acoustics.autoneum.com) helps predict and optimize the vehicle noise protection package already in the concept phase. \u2018Acoustic Garage\u2019 provides a step-by-step process to guide engineers from the basics of acoustic development to advanced customizations, using the company\u2019s latest simulation methods.<\/p>\n
The designated steps include identifying specific body-styles and power sources \u2013 IC engine, hybrid, or battery- electric \u2013 then comparing the acoustic performance of different pre-set sound packages specifically designed for the configuration. The final step is customizing that package to suit the individual needs and desires of the customer.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a highly collaborative process that exemplifies the integrated relationship necessary between suppliers and automakers in today\u2019s fast-paced environment. And its evidence that, as innovation leader in acoustic and thermal management, Autoneum is already working today to translate its expertise in research and development into products and technologies that meet the requirements of future mobility.<\/p>\n
World Car Awards is proud to be associated with this progressive and innovative partner.
