The function change trend of automobile parts in automobile

With the continuous progress of science and technology and the deep-rooted concept of environmental protection, the automobile industry is undergoing unprecedented changes. From traditional fuel vehicles to new energy vehicles, and then to the development of intelligent networking and autonomous driving technology, every innovation has a profound impact on the design and manufacture of auto parts. Under this background, this paper will discuss the main changing trends of automobile parts' functions.

First, the application of lightweight materials

In order to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions, automobile manufacturers are increasingly inclined to replace traditional steel parts with new materials that are lighter but stronger. For example, carbon fiber composites are widely used in car body structures because of their excellent properties; Aluminum alloy is an ideal choice for engine hood and other parts. These changes not only reduce the weight of the vehicle, but also improve the safety and handling of the vehicle.

Second, the degree of electrification has deepened

The rapid expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) market has promoted the technical iterative upgrade of core components such as battery management system, motor and its controller. At the same time, with the popularization of hybrid power system (DHV/HEV) and plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV), the demand for efficient energy recovery devices is also increasing. In addition, functional modules such as on-board charger (CHG) and DC-DC Converter have become an indispensable part of the new electric vehicle.

Third, the level of intelligence has improved

With the development of vehicle networking (V2X) technology and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), automobiles can realize more accurate environmental awareness, decision-making planning and execution control. Sensors (such as cameras, radars), computing platforms, data transmission interfaces and other related hardware facilities have been greatly enriched and improved. In the future, with the arrival of the completely unmanned era, the in-car entertainment information system will also become more humanized and diversified.

Fourth, sustainable design is valued.

Faced with the problems of resource shortage and environmental pollution, more and more enterprises begin to pay attention to product life cycle management, strive to reduce energy consumption in the production process, and explore product design schemes that can be recycled or easily disassembled. For example, in the field of tires, some manufacturers have introduced new green products made of bio-based raw materials; In terms of seats, there are environmental protection styles made of marine recycled plastics.

To sum up, with the progress of science and technology and the change of social demand, the functions of automobile parts are developing towards lightweight, electrification, intelligence and sustainability. This is not only a breakthrough in the bottleneck of the existing technology, but also a beautiful idea for the future travel mode. We look forward to witnessing the birth of more innovative achievements in this process and jointly welcoming a new era of clean, safe and energetic mobility.
