PACE 2008-2009
Global Vehicle Collaboration Project
Emerging Market Vehicle
1
Missions
• To engineer a vehicle for emerging
markets.
• To develop among the students the
concepts related to collaborative design.
• To enhance collaboration between PACE
institutions.
2
Project Definitons
• Emerging Markets: The denomination
used to make reference to the nations
that are becoming industrialized.
- Growing GDP
- Growing per-capita income
- Growing markets for industrial products
It is an economical rather than political
or cultural definition.

Emerging Markets

Emerging Markets
• Different levels of development
• Area and population disparities:
– Brazil: 8.5million km2 & 170 million ppl
– India: 3.3million km2 & 1.2 billion ppl
• Geographically dispersed
• Different road conditions
• Cultural diversity:
– Individual X Group
– Different wishes and tastes.

Emerging markets in History
• Early XXth Century
– USA: 1908 – Model T was produced for the
growing urban middle class.
• 1930 and post-WWII
– Western Europe: VW, Fiat 500, Citroën 2CV,
Morris Minor - affordable to the growing
middle class.
• Present
– China, India, Brazil, Russia
8
Learning from History
• Inovative products, affordable, reliable, easy to drive
and mantain, all of the emerging market vehicles from
the past became symbols for their respective nations
and auto-industries – classic sucessful products that
changed the landscape.
9
For the future
• Like technology, organizational practices
also evolved.
– Products, Markets, Supply chains and
Development became global.
– Using collaborative engineering across the
globe can optimize development time and
quality by the better use of a corporation
resources.
Students need to know how to operate on
their future work environment!
10
Design proposals
•
GM Design sent a set of 15 DVD with their design concepts for the
emerging market vehicle.
•
PACE Office has given us total freedom to develop the vehicle as we see
fit.
•
Which design should we choose?
11
The chosen one
“.RU” – Originally meant for
the Russian Market.
12
Emerging Market Vehicle
– To guide the teams on their sub-system
design.
• Technical Specifications
– Realistic targets for dimensions,
performance, operation, confort, safety,
cost.
• Technical solutions
– Possible ways to implement some of the
vehicle subsystems.
13
Emerging Market Vehicle
Basic Specifications:
• Capacity: 2 adults and two youngsters (up to
15yo). The driver will seat confortably if he/she
is:
No shorter than 1,50m and no taller than 1,90m.
The control forces will be compatible with the strenght of
the shortest driver (Refer to human engineering guides for
precise values of strenght and limb movement amplitudes).
• Total load capacity will be near 5000N including
passengers, luggage and fuel.
• Maximum value for the vehicle empty weight
will be 8000N.
14
Emerging Market Vehicle
• Basic dimensions:
– Lenght: 3,70m (max)
– Width: 1,60m (max)
– Height: 1,50m (max)
– Wheelbase: 2,6m (max)
– Track: 1,40m (max)
• Handling:
– Slight linear understeer
15
Emerging Market Vehicle
•
•
The vehicle will be capable to sustain a
constant speed of 120km/h in highways,
fully ladden. No downshift will be needed
if the gradient is less than 3%.
The vehicle will be capable to climb in a
20% gradient, fully ladden.
The two conditions will define maximum power and
torque. In both cases the traction limit will not be
exceeded.
16
Emerging Market Vehicle
• Powerplant:
– Given the diferent charactheristics of each
market in terms of energy sources it is
possible to have multiple poweplants options
that will fit on the vehicle.
Internal combustion engine (gasoline-ethanol)
Electric
Hybrid
The performance requirements were established for a
gasoline-ethanol fueled vehicle.
17
Schools and Systems
•Each School was free to choose one system.
18
Project Organization Chart
• How to have the teams working together?
• How to organise tasks, flow of information?
19
Project Organization Chart
20
Project Development
• Basic specification of all sub-systems
passed to the schools.
• Each School started to detail its subsystem – According to the academic
objectives set by the faculty.
• Design Reviews.
• Work with mentors.
21
Project organization
• Organizing the calendar compatible with
school year (Exams, holidays).
• Every school has its own academic goals
for the project – Include them as overall
project goals.
• Setting-up a structure for meetings –
Videoconference, phone line.
• Teamcenter Site (Thanks Siemens UGS!)
22
Project Development
• Teamcenter site
23
Project Development
• Assembly of the complete vehicle CAD
Model.
• Every school wrote a detailed project
report.
• The report contains detailed technical
data to allow the project continuation
during next year by the manufacturing
team.
• CAD and CAE files are also part of the
overall project report.
24
Final Remarks
• Thanks for joining the 2008-2009 PACE
Global Project!
