Presentation

Virtual engineering workflow of a hybrid electric wheel loader

This presentation focuses on optimizing and validating the performance of a 20-ton wheel loader through electrification by leveraging a virtual engineering workflow. The workflow encompasses powertrain pre-sizing, detailed design and integration, and online verification and validation, for example through an operator-in-the-loop simulator. This approach minimizes physical prototyping, accelerates and streamlines development cycles and provides solutions for energy and thermal challenges while enhancing machine performance.
