hofer powertrain

Identifying all basic requirements and desired characteristics of the planned vehicle is essential to align the engineering efforts with the most important tasks and achieve time-efficiency in concept development. World-class results come from planning and exceptional documentation, allowing more flexibility and room for design adjustments in later stages of the development process.

Specification of requirements – a solid base for concept development

The fast and reliable development of powertrains and single components requires good understanding of the main customer´s objectives. Requirement documentation reveals all dimensions and parameters. This process has a significant influence on the overall development complexity and time, helping to design realistic concepts and evaluate deeper potentials of your new project.

From concept sketches to 3D models

Based on experiences, hofer powertrain engineers can demonstrate all concept features and functions early in the process, helping to optimise solutions before the first designs. Here, concept drafts are followed by detailed engineering sketches before they are turned into 3D models, considering all important parameters. This model-based approach provides a fundamental basis for precise calculation- and simulation-based structural designs later and lead to the higher overall efficiency of the solutions and the development process and beyond.
