Hypercar: an electric luxury
|
Hypercars push the exclusivity concept to extremes: they are vehicles that are part of very limited series, with sports aesthetics and exasperate performances, by far exceeding conventional sports cars. Often, hypercars propose innovations in advance compared to the other cars and they are used as test bench to diffuse determinate technologies on more “reachable” vehicles. […]

Noise reduction by means of isotropic super finishing
|
To reduce the noise of electric motor transmissions, the technique that seems to offer the best performances for industrial productions is a variant of the so‑called isotropic super finishing (ISF), which can combine the typical finishing of the conventional ISF with the creation of compression stress states that are typical of the shot peening.

E-mobility, the electric-vehicle disruption is inevitable
|
Almost 1.2 million electric cars sold in the world in 2017, the most positive result ever obtained, and it is expected that such trend will be confirmed for 2018 with 2 million new electric cars on the market. In Italy, the technological maturity is the reference indicator that shows fewer criticalities, on the contrary the […]
