Schaeffler’s Automotive CEO Matthias Zink assesses ten propositions about mobility of tomorrow.

The car industry is constantly looking for new materials. Lighter, more heat-resistant, more resilient, more natural – or just something unique. We describe what aspects of automotive interiors and exteriors are subject to current research.

Schaeffler is demonstrating its development capabilities in the field of hydrogen-powered mobility with a new generation of metallic bipolar plates for polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells.

Top-caliber driving without a mechanical steering column: Space Drive steer-by-wire technology from Schaeffler ByWire is put through its paces in rallying.

The transition to electric mobility on our roads poses major challenges for garages. Aftermarket CEO Jens Schüler describes how Schaeffler encourages service operations to join the automotive and industrial supplier on the transformation journey.

For Matthias Zink, the Schaeffler Kolloquium 2022 will be the most spectacular one to be held to date. An interview with the CEO Automotive Technologies about the highlights of the event.

It is a key component in a large number of vehicle applications ranging from the drive to the steering system and has a diameter and height of only five centimeters: A brushless direct current motor.

An e-car can only become truly carbon-neutral if it’s produced sustainably and operates with clean electricity.

Less energy consumption, longer range – how Schaeffler enhances the efficiency of e-cars with smart thermal management.

Driverless service vehicles are capturing their place in mobility around the globe – while paving the technology’s way into passenger cars.

With the final race in Berlin, the Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler team has said good-bye to Formula E.

Whether hybrid or fully electric, whether 48 or 800 volts, Schaeffler’s modular powertrain portfolio has the right solution for any e-car

Friction-optimized headwind vehicles drive into the wind faster than the wind blows against them.

Whether hybrid or fully electric, whether 48 or 800 volts, Schaeffler’s modular powertrain portfolio has the right solution for any e-car.

Schaeffler is steadily expanding its involvement in autonomous mobility based on intelligent chassis systems.

In the wake of the unbridled growth of cities, we’re going to see an evolution of urban mobility. tomorrow digital talked to Harry Evers, managing director of the 2021 ITS World Congress

Schaeffler’s intelligent mechatronic rear axle steering system ensures greater agility, driving comfort and safety with maximum energy efficiency.

Unplanned vehicle downtimes are costly and time-consuming. Around the world, the experts from Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket assist customers with tailored repair solutions and services.

Alternative drive concepts, new types of controls or self-driving vehicles – these are subjects that have been fueling the imagination of automotive engineers not only in our day and age.

The world is in a state of technological change and this is also true for motorsport. How can the high-tech racing categories take part in shaping the the transformation of mobility?

Limits exist for the purpose of being pushed and shifted. Just like technological innovations have done time and time again with the limits of what’s feasible. Janis McDavid is happy that this is so.

Hybrid or all-electric systems are complementing or replacing conventional powertrains. Schaeffler has developed a modular e-axle kit enabling an extensive, universal product portfolio.

Acting with consistency, thinking with agility, responding with flexibility. These globetrotters have mastered the art of planning as perfectly as the art of adaptation.

Be it in cars, trains or airplanes, in systems ranging from hybrid to fully electric, mobility of the future requires electric motors. But how does an electric motor actually work?

A large high-voltage battery like the one in the Audi e-tron stores up to 95 kWh of energy. Theoretically, this is enough for operating various appliances around the clock

From an automotive hot spot to a mobility hub – after its bankruptcy, will Detroit manage to resurrect itself as a North American high-tech center? The prospects are positive.

How are we going to get from A to B in our cities of tomorrow? Exploring this question is part of Daimler futurist Prof. Marianne Reeb’s job. Here she provides some answers.

Two pioneering examples from the Schaeffler world illustrate how complex and time-consuming development work can be: the dry dual clutch and the fully variable UniAir valve control system.

50,000 miles by car through the United States – in 1910, Dr. Charles G. Percival tackles a challenge that seemed an impossible feat in those days.

For 130 years engineers have been investing enormous energy in the development of the automobile. Increasingly faster, safer, comfortable and efficient. 14 representative milestones on four wheels.
