Shaping the technology of tomorrow

The future of mobility is already taking shape today – every single day. At thyssenkrupp Automotive in Eschen, Liechtenstein, experts are working on technologies that will shape the cars of tomorrow. These include so-called power packs – powerful components that make electric steering systems possible.

Developing systems like these combines traditional engineering with modern electrical engineering, electronics, and software. This combination makes the field particularly diverse: technical expertise, new technologies, and the continuous development of existing solutions are closely interconnected.

The car: a highly complex and customizable system

Power packs consist of control units and electric motors. They provide electronic steering assistance, making it easier to steer even larger vehicles.

The scope of work involved in their development is correspondingly broad. It ranges from advanced development projects and design studies to series development and international implementation.

One of the biggest challenges in a system as complex and customizable as a car is modularization. The goal is to develop elements that can be efficiently reused in different designs. To achieve this, the modules and components of the modular system are continuously developed and adapted to new requirements.

Interaction between electronics and software

The interaction between electronics and software is particularly important. Electronics development in the automotive industry is demanding: increasing requirements and new trends continuously call for new technologies and innovative solutions.

At thyssenkrupp Automotive, electronics and software are integrated into the overall vehicle system. The company not only develops and produces steering systems, but also integrates its systems and modules into complex mechatronic assemblies.
