NVH Solutions for the Future of Mobility
A period of innovation is transforming mobility as it relates to the automotive sector. As technologies and designs have evolved, significant new Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) challenges have emerged.
Driven by our mission to add comfort to mobility, we are continuously developing innovative solutions in our global R&D network to tackle well-known and new NVH issues. These efforts have established Vibracoustic as a world-leading NVH expert and trusted partner for car manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers around the world.
Why is NVH important?
NVH plays a critical role in shaping the overall driving experience and consumer satisfaction. A quiet, smooth ride free of intrusive noises and vibration is a major contributor to the perception of comfort. NVH is especially relevant for electric vehicles (EVs) because they have much quieter motors, which brings other sources of vibration and sound to the forefront. Making effective NVH management for such instances is crucial for maintaining a positive driving experience.
The NVH challenges of tomorrow
We are anticipating the NVH challenges of tomorrow and finding the necessary solutions. We have long-term experience in designing, engineering, and manufacturing solutions with performance and NVH benefits, using a ‘holistic vehicle’ approach for analysis and product development. Whether working collaboratively early in the development cycle or by supplying NVH products, we are a key partner and enabler for automotive companies.
Significant mobility industry trends
As the industry evolves, we are proactively developing cost-effective new solutions. Here you can learn what implications some of the key trends in the automotive industry have for NVH, and the solutions we have developed.
Efficiency
In an increasingly competitive market with higher customer demands for solutions that support efficiency in terms of fuel, energy, space, and weight. Reducing weight through innovative designs and new materials reduce emissions and optimize range.
E-Mobility
Electric powertrains and electrified auxiliary devices present unique refinement challenges to battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV), requiring a holistic NVH understanding.
Functional Integration
Complex integration and packaging of propulsion and auxiliary systems create NVH issues that require intelligent solutions.
Circular Economy and Resource Conservation
A circular economy helps extend the useful life of raw materials, reduce waste, and thereby lower resource consumption and emissions.
