The electric vehicle (EV) technology becomes the promising technology to reduce the tailpipe emission and greenhouse. Even the global cumulative number of PHEV ＆ BEV was reported to reach over three million in 2017. Many countries are setting up the target for EV, which is expected that the number of electric vehicle could reach the 30% market share in 2030. In 2015, Royal Thai Government has officially started to promote the electric vehicle technology in Thailand. The target of EV action plan (2016-2036) was introduced with aiming for 1.2 million passenger plug-in electric vehicle (PHEV ＆ BEV) by 2036 contributing for CO2 reduction of 1,123 thousands tones of oil equivalent. This presentation will give an information on the promotion and development of electric vehicle technology in Thailand.

Dr. Yossapong Laoonual is currently academic staff at the mechanical engineering department at King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) Thailand since 2006. He is also one of founding members of Electric Vehicle Association of Thailand (EVAT) and currently the first elected President from 2015. He gained his Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering from Imperial College London in 2006. During past few years, he has served on a number of committees in both government levels and volunteer based society. For Example, he was an adviser on sub-committee on study of electric vehicle usage policy and investment promotion of electric vehicle industry, national legislative assembly. Currently he is also a subcommittee on regulatory control of air Pollution from motor vehicle, under pollution control committee, national environment board.

Established in 1957, IMV CORPORATION specializes in environmental testing, measurement and analysis equipment for vibration-related applications. We are also proud of our test systems, which are used in automotive applications and for a variety of other industrial products to help maintain the high quality and reliability for which Japanese technology is famous.
In this presentation, we would like to introduce about common test for Electric Vehicle parts including EV motors, controll unit, batteries(Cell, Module, and Pack) and necessary facilities.

Working in Automotive industry field 14 years after joined IMV CORPORATION.
From 2014 I joined to IMV (Thailand), I’m working as sales and field marketing for Thailand and South-East Asia.
My team support environment test including vibration test and vibration measuring/analysis in Thailand and south-east Asia.

ICE cars widely used in major city cause at least 2 problems.
1. Air pollution because of co2 emission.
2. Traffic overload with too few road space to handle huge amount of big cars.
That’s why we need to find the new solution to move within the city. Micro EV is the one of best solution which can solve these problems. The Design of BEV which fit in the small road in the city, and zero emission with easy to handle and enough power for daily operation seems like the best solution at this moments.

Addon solutions based on 48V using conventional engines and transmissions are a first step showing limited CO2 potential and customer value. Considering the cost per gram CO2 saving these 48V solutions are in a similar area than higher degrees of electrified powertrains that offer more consumer experience of electric driving. Providing an answer to the question, if 48V can offer a wider range of scalability at more attractive cost, weight, package with more experienceable electric driving features, is the core focus of this presentation.

Japanese automakers have been developing the electrification since 1990 based upon
ZEV mandate in California, USA. As a result, all kinds of electrification such as
HEV, PHEV, EV and FCV were realized in the global markets. Recently, battery manufacturers in Japan, Korea and China are now conducting global Biz. competitiveness. R＆D of new materials for Lithium-ion batteries and All solid state batteries are so active in the world. The most important issues on the batteries for vehicles are safety, durability and cost reduction. Introduction of high reliable evaluation instruments and safety evaluation methods under severe conditions will lead superior battery systems.

Product failures often require expensive repairs or replacements. Over-engineering adds to recurring costs and its success is uncertain if the failure’s cause is not understood. Engineers need in-depth knowledge before attempting a re-design.
This case study focuses on bus seat failures not predicted by industry standard tests. The goal was to collect comprehensive field vibration data and analyze that data to understand the failure’s cause.
The study used accelerometers placed at various points in multiple seating configurations and across multiple field environments. Analysis identified transmissibility issues between axes of motion, as well as higher reliability seat configurations.

Built on the foundations of our philosophy of Sense - Plan - Act, Continental will present our approach to automated driving, from the current status of both available technologies and market drivers for Level 1~2 implementation, to our long-term vision for Level 5, fully automated driving. Following a brief history of the ADAS field, we will present the latest trends, our pioneering activities in the field, as well as our approach for the future.

During his 15 years in the automotive industry, D. Tasca has worked on a multitude of global projects with US, European, and Asian OEMs, and is now deeply involved with ADAS-related topics at the forefront of the coming automation revolution.

In developing EV subsystems such as batteries and inverters, do you think that you want to discover design defects earlier, reduce development costs, and improve quality at the same time? Or for the characterization tasks of DC/DC converters or batteries for xEV/xEMS, do you think that you want to make your test bench simpler and to have a better efficient test environment instead of complex configured one? With the Keysight power test portfolio from newly added high power test solutions to conventional small foot-print test instrument will give your devices higher reliability at an earlier development stage.
