and drive systems, which will allow a complete rethink

of important car functions in the future.

power- train

Driven by efficiency.

The world of drive technology is changing.

Conventional combustion engines continue

to be on the rise. Hybrid and pure electric

motors are also surging forward. One thing

they all have in common is the need for

efficiency, reliability and performance.

thyssenkrupp offers solutions for all drive

types. For example, we supply components

and modules for crank drives and valve

trains for highly efficient combustion and

hybrid engines, lightweight rotors for electric

drives as well as suitable assembly and test

systems. Working with our customers, we are

constantly developing our products further.

Our goal: clever technology for powerful

drives with the highest levels of efficiency.

e-mobility

Lightweight e-mobility for all.

Our automotive solutions are light, safe and cost-efficient at the same

time. How do we do it? With the most economical lightweight construction

material in the world: steel. Nowadays, this tried-and-tested material is

the ideal solution for small and medium-sized cars and light commercial

vehicles. Because steel can be processed using established and safe

processes and is 100% recyclable.

Because robust steel bodies save human lives. Because in the future,

no e-car will move an inch without our highly efficient electrical steel.

Because we also supply automation solutions for electrical storage

and drive systems. And because cost factors will determine the future

of mobility. By the way: Lightweight steel solutions also make classic

combustion engine automobiles more fuel-efficient and more

climatefriendly. All this together makes steel one of the strongest

drivers in the automotive industry.

e-mobility What drives the future

of e-mobility.

Without cold-rolled electrical steel, no generator,

transformer or electric motor would ever be built.

And because it is indispensable as a basic material

for electric motors, highly efficient electrical steel

plays a particularly important role in the area of

e-mobility. Our powercore® products reduce core

losses in electric drives to an absolute minimum. In

this way, we are increasing the efficiency of e-vehicle

motors and making a significant contribution to

sustaining energy resources. As one of the global

market leaders, we are working together with our

customers to create completely new industrial

standards for this impressive material. Because

anyone who dreams of e-mobility needs powercore®

from thyssenkrupp.

autonomous driving

Autonomous driving vehicles will fundamentally

change the future of mobility. The car driver

will soon be able to choose in more and more

situations whether he wants to drive himself or

leave the steering to the vehicle. As steering

experts we work with our customers to bring

autonomous driving safely onto the road.

For example, we are developing steer-by-wire

concepts in which steering commands are

transmitted electrically like in airplanes. This

technology allows the steering function to be

integrated in entirely new vehicle architectures.

And in the not too distant future, when in some

driving situations the steering wheel is no longer

needed, this technology allows the steering wheel

to be stowed away or extend back out again. This

allows the driver to actually use the space in front

of him for different things altogether.

Relax when others are driving.

intelligent chassis

The chassis that thinks ahead.

As chassis experts we are working with our customers to integrate the

damping function even further into the vehicle's environment detection

system. Active dampers can respond proactively to changing driving

situations and road surfaces. Each wheel is controlled and damped

individually in line with driving requirements. That improves comfort,

driving dynamics and safety. As the volume of autonomous traffic

grows in the future, such active damping systems will become

increasingly important in providing the optimum driving experience

to the passengers as they work or surf the internet in their car.
