Engineers have consistently predicted that cars would shift from 12-volt electrical systems to 48-volt systems for two decades. But cost and inertia have kept 12-volt electrics in place, with the ...

If electricity strikes you as mysterious, you're not alone. A device stymied an electrical engineer friend of mine not because it wouldn't work when it should, but because it worked when it shouldn't.

The autonomous vehicles industry is constantly changing, which makes it challenging to achieve fully autonomous driving. While driver-assist technologies have improved safety, planning safe paths in ...

As cars continue to become more electrically sophisticated, long gone are the "garage jobs," right? Not necessarily. Electricity can be intimidating, but with a some fresh knowledge and the right ...

In case you haven’t noticed, automotive electrical systems are undergoing a significant change from the old 12-V systems to a new hybrid 12- and 48-V system. The number of new electrical and ...

The electrical system includes several subsystems that provide your vehicle with that vital spark that makes it start and then keeps it running. It's one of the many systems on a vehicle that's ...

Mustang electrical systems are clever pathways that accomplish a big job whenever we twist the key and hit the road. Yet, they don't always work as they're supposed to because parts wear out, people ...

Steyr Automotive has started contract manufacturing of trucks for the Chinese manufacturer Sinotruk in Austria. The company assembles 'diesel-powered and ...

The automobile is changing right before our eyes. It’s gradually morphing from a traditional internal-combustion-engine (ICE) vehicle into a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), and then to an all-electric ...
