Electric vehicles (EVs) are reshaping the automotive landscape, bringing new NVH engineering challenges. Unlike traditional combustion engines, EVs are heavier, leading to increased tire noise. The absence of engine noise means that electric motors and gears produce tonal noises that stand out more, affecting perceived sound quality. Additionally, EVs’ quieter powertrains at low speeds raise customer expectations for a quieter cabin at higher speeds, where road and wind noise become more noticeable.

Join us as we partner with SAE and Tech Briefs Media for a 30-minute webinar to explore innovative solutions to these NVH challenges. Learn how virtual prototyping can address issues across the entire audible frequency range—without the need for physical prototypes.

What You'll Learn

  • Understand the unique NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) challenges posed by electric vehicles compared to combustion engine vehicles.
  • Explore how electric vehicle weight impacts tire noise and how tonal noise from motors and gears affects sound quality.
  • Discover virtual prototyping solutions to address NVH issues across the entire audible frequency range.
  • Review real-world examples of how virtual prototyping can reduce vehicle development time and costs while balancing NVH performance, weight, and packaging constraints.
  • Gain insights into minimizing the need for physical prototypes during EV design.
