Have a read on the full interview, where DAMIAN BACKES mentioned projects “not just optimize of the technology in itself, but to provide the best experience for the users. This is exactly the understanding of SmartCorners and we are inviting you to have a full read on the insights, he was giving in this excellent interview. Thanks a lot to 2Zero for sharing this initiative.
Today, we are introducing you to our SmartCorners demonstration project; developed in collaboration with FH Joanneum Automotive Engineering Masters program.
This is an excellent opportunity for ambitious engineering students to explore and integrate innovative concepts into the demonstrator, including the key features:
• Up to 90° Steering Angle
• Brake-by-Wire
• Active Camber
• 3D Printing
During our General Assembly, the initial concept has been presented to the project consortium, and we are looking forward to the quality-gate meeting, happening soon.
SAE WCX2025 is taking place, this week and SmartCorners is part of it with the paper
“European Initiatives for User-Centric Design of Electric Vehicles”
jointly prepared with the projects EFFEREST and MINDED project. The paper presents the latest advancements of the research projects and showcases their complementarities to address the European priorities as identified in the 2Zero SRIA.
Looking forward to this excellent opportunity and the exchange with all experts and stakeholders present.
SmartCorners is an innovative vehicle technology that is designed to advance electric vehicles (EVs) by integrating multiple critical functions such as propulsion, braking, suspension, and steering, into compact, modular systems called “smart corners.” These systems use new advancements like in-wheel motors, AI-driven controls, and predictive maintenance to enhance vehicle efficiency, safety, and user experience.
Through this survey, we aim to gather valuable insights from stakeholders to better understand the challenges, opportunities, and expectations for implementing advanced vehicle technologies like SmartCorners. Your input will help shaping the future of mobility. The survey will only take 5 minutes of your time, is completely anonymous and will solely be used for the purpose of SmartCorners Stakeholder opinion collection. You can access the survey HERE.
Today we are sharing with you the SmartCorners contribution to the E-VOLVE Cluster Webinar “SEE MOBILITY E-VOLV(E) ING: Smart Components for the Software-Defined Vehicle of the Future”, presented by Prof. Aldo Sorniotti from Politecnico di Torino.
We are happy to share with you our SmartCorners project video – learn the essence about the project in 02:09 minutes. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us so we can guide you further in the world of SmartCorners and our advancements.
KPIs are more than numbers—they’re the project compass. Regular KPI assessment keeps us on track, helps identifying what’s working, and highlights areas for growth. Recently, we have contributed to the LeMesurier KPI assessment as part of the 2ZERO Partnership.
LeMesurier is building a framework to track 2ZERO’s impact on sustainable road transport research and innovation. It measures KPI achievement and partnership’s projects impact while recommending improved evaluation methods.
We are also looking forward to our upcoming General Assembly meeting, where our KPIs will play a major role, as well.
The next edition of the E-VOLVE Cluster is out! In this edition, you can find the mapping towards 2Zero of all projects including of course SmartCorners, update from EM-TECH, RHODaS and SCAPE and review of activities of the cluster. And we can share with you, the “save the date” for the next E-VOLVE cluster webinar: it will be November 22nd. Have a read on the full edition of the Newsletter HERE and stay tuned for more updates coming.
We are inviting you to join the event “Towards the Sustainable Vehicle Era” organized by CARS@Polito and PEIC (Power Electronics Innovation Center). You can find more detailed information on the event website and we are looking forward to meet and discuss with you.
The SmartCorners consortium is fully committed to sharing the results of our activities – more than 40% of the deliverables planned for this project are going to by publicly available. And we can soon share the first of these with you. Of course, this is not going to be all – as further content in form of publications, journal papers and more are going to be on the way. So stay tuned to find out more about SmartCorners and our activities!
