Italy. A total of 1,311 companies participated in the 29th edition of Autopromotec, an international exhibition of automotive equipment and products from the auto parts market held on May 28 in Bologna.
Latin America. For those in charge of the installation and maintenance of auto parts, cleaning can be a challenge, due to the many details, grooves and textures of the parts. An excellent solution to this predicament is to use ultrasonic cleaning systems.
International. Continental AG has created new products, processes and business models that enable efficient mobility. This then occurs in integration with holistic connectivity, intelligent server concepts, implementation of software solutions and high-performance computing.
With the In-Car Application Server 1 (ICAS1) for the VW ID series, Continental is the first vendor in the world to offer a high-performance vehicle server with the associated software in series production.
With the so-called Continental Automotive Edge Platform, Continental takes a multi-domain approach and offers a modular platform consisting of high-performance computers, software and cloud platforms, as well as services and applications.
The flexible modular system makes it possible to integrate functions from a wide range of areas of the vehicle, such as driving safety or entertainment. "The goal is to offer vehicle manufacturers the greatest possible flexibility and modularity to design vehicle architectures with minimal complexity. Therefore, Continental continues to adapt to the changing requirements and expectations of the market and its stakeholders," the company states.
According to the company" as vehicles become smarter, more and more automated and more sustainable, their architecture is shifting from distributed structures to centralized structures. This allows for the comprehensive optimization of vehicle architectures, as well as the ability to upgrade and upgrade throughout the life of the vehicle. For Continental, this development means new challenges, but also opportunities."
Michael Hülsewies, Senior Vice President of Architecture and Software, Engineering and Holistic Technologies, said: "The mobility ecosystem, user and customer expectations are undergoing a sea change. This has an impact on the architecture, our portfolio, business models and the way we work. Mobility and connectivity converge and demand new solutions and a new mindset. Continental Automotive Edge Framework allows us to master transformation, enabling vehicles defined by SW... flexible, safe and reliable."
Related to this, and the incorporation of new technology into vehicles, the company argued on its website that "as today's vehicle architectures reach their limits in terms of complexity and capabilities, the future will require centralized server-based architectures that increasingly complement and replace the traditional hardware approach in the industry."
Internacional. Industrias Dolz launched the new range of Auxiliary Belt Kits, thus completing the product offer for transmission. These kits have been designed following the experience of original manufacturers such as Audi, Volkswagen or Renault to offer greater engine performance and greater comfort.
According to the company, "all of them are already available for distributors and workshops and also in the main electronic catalogs, including TecDoc (TecAlliance), of which we have its official Certification of TecDoc Data Supplier".
In addition, they incorporate all the necessary components for a professional repair, that is: poly-V auxiliary belt, tensioning rollers, inversion and all the necessary accessories depending on the application of the vehicle.
Dolz "uses selected materials for the highest quality in its production. Among the main advantages are our Auxiliary Belt Kits we find: increase in the mechanical efficiency of the motor, high resistance to bending changes providing greater stability. The ribbed belt allows a substantially greater torque to be transferred and has an optimal design for maximum efficiency. A perfect performance regulating and avoiding the excessive production of heat due to friction, "said the manufacturer.
