Abstract
Developing electric vehicles is very important in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG). Since one of the main changes in automotive industry is the entry of new disciplines, the development of electric vehicle as a multidisciplinary product requires more and closer cooperation between company departments at different locations, for example between OEMs and globally distributed suppliers.
For supporting the multidisciplinary product development like mentioned above, IPEK has implemented a new validation concept for globally distributed product development based on its X-in-the-Loop-Framework. The “X” is the substitution for the Unit Under Test (UUT) which is validated under consideration of the influences from the rest system, user and environmental situations. The new validation concept is characterized by a “distance loop”, which means the UUT and other elements could be located across the facility or even the globe.
The advantages of the new validation concept are demonstrated in this paper with a concrete application example.
