From the point of view of economic efficiency and industrialization, nowadays, scalable and modular construction solutions, rather than individual ones, are in demand in vehicle construction. Especially for small and medium product volumes, modularization offers a cost-effective solution for development and production in terms of crash testing, ease of repair, and tool diversity.
During the development of the entire vehicle, if it’s possible to derive the development goals from the subsystems and break down the modularization to the components or subsystems, these synergies can then be used in the various subareas, such the chassis and E/E components.
