In Pursuit of NVH Performance

Karma Automotive has set up a strategic partnership with Siemens' Simcenter Engineering and Consulting services to meet noise, vibration and harshness performance targets and implement state-of-the-art NVH testing and simulation processes.

The video features interviews with Bob Kruse, chief technical officer; Jud Knittel, ead NVH Engineer; Eric Keipper, director Vehicle Integration; and Garren Salibian, lead Vehicle Integration.

Siemens says its integrated solutions optimize the electrical motor noise behavior while leaving the electromagnetic performance unchanged. They integrate electric power sources in the driveline while ensuring smooth operation with minimum NVH impact, according to the company. In addition, Siemens says they balance NVH and ride comfort with body weight.
