InCar^®plus is leveraging ThyssenKrupp's combined expertise in materials development, engineering, and the manufacture of high-quality components, modules and systems. This creates unique synergies that enable greater efficiency in powertrain, chassis & steering as well as body.

Powertrain

Increasing efficiency by reducing fuel consumption is a key objective of ThyssenKrupp InCar®plus. Because the conventional internal combustion engine will remain the dominant propulsion system for the foreseeable future, this is a focal point of the powertrain project cluster. Through the combination of advanced lightweight design and intelligent function integration, InCar^®plus shows impressive solutions for better engines both today and tomorrow. Moreover, the project takes into account the increasing importance of electrical drive systems and solutions to increase their operating efficiency.

Chassis & Steering

ThyssenKrupp InCar^®plus is contributing to the technological shift towards electric power steering systems and developing the next generation for even greater safety and comfort. In the case of steering columns and damper tubes, innovative products are implemented using a multi-material design approach. The individual solutions address various customer needs, depending on vehicle- specific requirements. The priority is therefore either on weight optimization, cost reduction or additional functions within the systems.

Body

Economical lightweight design and increasing demands in respect of crash safety are the focus of modern car body developments. ThyssenKrupp is developing new materials, building tools and producing prototypes which are subjected to extensive testing – all from a single source. The advantage for customers: Innovative materials and production technologies can be implemented quickly in series production. The portfolio in the area of body includes not only structural and bolt-on parts, but also seat components and wheels.
