1 PACE Global Vehicle Collaboration Project Emerging Market Vehicle

2 Missions To engineer a vehicle for emerging markets. To develop among the students the concepts related to collaborative design. To enhance collaboration between PACE institutions.

3 Project Definitons Emerging Markets: The denomination used to make reference to the nations that are becoming industrialized. - Growing GDP - Growing per-capita income - Growing markets for industrial products It is an economical rather than political or cultural definition.

4 Emerging Markets

5 Different levels of development Area and population disparities: –Brazil: 8.5million km 2 & 170 million ppl –India: 3.3million km 2 & 1.2 billion ppl Geographically dispersed Different road conditions Cultural diversity: –Individual X Group –Different wishes and tastes.

6 Emerging Markets Economic Data – PPP (2007) GDP (trillions) GDP (per capita) Growth (total) Growth (industrial) Brazil$1.84$9,7005.4%4.9% China$6.99$5, %13.4% India$2.99$2,7009.2%8.9% Russia$2.09$14,7008.2%7.4%

7 Emerging markets Vehicle Ownership (per 1000ppl) Growth (2005 – 2020) China ~6X(!) India % USA ,6% World %

8 Emerging markets in History Early XX th Century –USA: 1908 – Model T was produced for the growing urban middle class and post-WWII –Western Europe: VW, Fiat 500, Citroën 2CV, Morris Minor - affordable to the growing middle class. Present –China, India, Brazil, Russia

9 Learning from History Inovative products, affordable, reliable, easy to drive and mantain, all of the emerging market vehicles from the past became symbols for their respective nations and auto-industries – classic sucessful products that changed the landscape.

10 For the future Like technology, organizational practices also evolved. –Products, Markets, Supply chains and Development became global. –Using collaborative engineering across the globe can optimize development time and quality by the better use of a corporation resources. Students need to know how to operate on their future work environment!

11 Design proposals GM Design sent a set of 15 DVD with their design concepts for the emerging market vehicle. PACE Office has given us total freedom to develop the vehicle as we see fit. Which design should we choose?

12 The chosen one “.RU” – Originally meant for the Russian Market.

13 Emerging Market Vehicle –To guide the teams on their sub-system design. Technical Specifications –Realistic targets for dimensions, performance, operation, confort, safety, cost. Technical solutions –Possible ways to implement some of the vehicle subsystems.

14 Emerging Market Vehicle Basic Specifications: Capacity: 2 adults and two youngsters (up to 15yo). The driver will seat confortably if he/she is:  No shorter than 1,50m and no taller than 1,90m.  The control forces will be compatible with the strenght of the shortest driver (Refer to human engineering guides for precise values of strenght and limb movement amplitudes). Total load capacity will be near 5000N including passengers, luggage and fuel. Maximum value for the vehicle empty weight will be 8000N.

15 Emerging Market Vehicle Basic dimensions: –Lenght: 3,70m (max) –Width: 1,60m (max) –Height: 1,50m (max) –Wheelbase: 2,6m (max) –Track: 1,40m (max) Handling: –Slight linear understeer

16 Emerging Market Vehicle The vehicle will be capable to sustain a constant speed of 120km/h in highways, fully ladden. No downshift will be needed if the gradient is less than 3%. The vehicle will be capable to climb in a 20% gradient, fully ladden. The two conditions will define maximum power and torque. In both cases the traction limit will not be exceeded.

17 Emerging Market Vehicle Powerplant: –Given the diferent charactheristics of each market in terms of energy sources it is possible to have multiple poweplants options that will fit on the vehicle.  Internal combustion engine (gasoline-ethanol)  Electric  Hybrid The performance requirements were established for a gasoline-ethanol fueled vehicle.

18 Schools and Systems Each School was free to choose one system.

19 Project Organization Chart How to have the teams working together? How to organise tasks, flow of information?

20 Project Organization Chart

21 Project Development Basic specification of all sub-systems passed to the schools. Each School started to detail its sub- system – According to the academic objectives set by the faculty. Design Reviews. Work with mentors.

22 Project organization Organizing the calendar compatible with school year (Exams, holidays). Every school has its own academic goals for the project – Include them as overall project goals. Setting-up a structure for meetings – Videoconference, phone line. Teamcenter Site (Thanks Siemens UGS!)

23 Project Development Teamcenter site

24 Project Development Assembly of the complete vehicle CAD Model. Every school wrote a detailed project report. The report contains detailed technical data to allow the project continuation during next year by the manufacturing team. CAD and CAE files are also part of the overall project report.
