The compromises in chassis tuning



Torque vectoring alternativeslower center of gravity

Benefit► less load transfer improves traction and

agility

Compromises► chassis needs to be adapted

► stiffer springs affect comfort

► less ground clearance

torque vectoring

Benefits► torque vectoring does not affect

driving comfort

► chassis tuning can be focused more

on aspects like comfort and stability,

since agility and traction are already

improved

11

The compromises in chassis tuning



Torque vectoring alternativesincreased camber angle at front wheels

Benefit► more grip at front axle: increased agility

Compromises► loss of driving stability at high speeds

► no vehicle dynamics control

► tire wear

torque vectoring

Benefits► agility improvements are situation

dependent (sensor information)

► agility at low speeds, simultaneously

stability at high speeds

► adaptive control on dry or wet

asphalt and low-μ

Lap time reduction lap 1:

Measured improvement of lap times

1.1 seconds

Lap time improvement by torque vectoring strongly depends on:

► Chassis setup of vehicle (this case: understeering)

► Engine capacity: possibility to maintain the speed offset after corner exit (this case: > 350kW)

► Capability of the driver to push the vehicle to the limit (this case: world class driver)

Remember that Nordschleife is 21km…

Lap time reduction lap 2: 0.95 seconds

Lap distance: 2.2 km

Conclusion



Torque vectoring

► Improvements in agility, safety, traction

► Chassis tuning without compromising on stability or comfort

► Benefits can be measured objectively

► Proven maturity of brake actuation concept

► Extended opportunities in multi-motor electric vehicles

--- An efficient method to improve vehicle dynamics ---
