NUSIP 2023 Special Lecture

Title: Model Based Development for Automotive Engineering toward Sustainable Future

Date and Time: 15:00-16:30 June 29

Venue: ES Hall

Lecturer: Mr. Kazuo TAKEUCHI (Director, FVV Office Japan)

 

Outline:

With the three-year corona dawn, humanity has entered an era of unprecedented uncertainty. Global warming has no time to waste, and the energy situation is becoming increasingly uncertain due to the war in Ukraine. In addition, the EU‘s radical shift to EVs (100% EVs in new cars by 2035) is now a yellow light for its feasibility. Meanwhile, digitalization is rapidly evolving in the face of the Corona disaster, and the reality of the 4th Industrial Revolution is beginning to emerge. As a countermeasure against global warming, the automotive industry is promoting MBD (Model Based Development), an agile development method, based on models rather than on physical development. It is hoped that the wisdom of the world will be connected through models, and that we will be able to ride out this era of unprecedented uncertainty with the wisdom of the global industries and academies.
