VTM (Vehicle Transportation and Innovation Meetings - 27/28 November 2018) is a new mobility technology event bringing together the vehicle and transport community: from vehicle manufacturers and tier suppliers to mobility decision makers, technology entrepreneurs disruptive and solution providers.

Bylogix will be present as exhibitor and will present the VeGA project (Veicolo a Guida Autonoma) innovative project on autonomous driving.

The prototype, which will be exhibited inside the Innovation Plaza, is an electric car equipped with solutions for object recognition, sensors and high-speed cameras distributed all around the vehicle, and is able to detect vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians or animals, identify them and send actuation signals for vehicle management (breaking, steering and acceleration).

All those functionalities are possible thanks to AI (Artificial Intelligence) software implemented on Nvidia Platform®, combine neural networks technologies solution and real time drive capabilities.

Established in 2001 as a Volkswagen in-House event, in its first edition it recorded important numbers (128 exhibitors from six countries, which attracted 13,500 visitors). Over time it has established itself as a showcase event for suppliers TIER 1/TIER 2 of the international automotive industry. For the 2018 edition, 830 exhibitors from 34 nations are already being held to show their products and innovations on 38,000 square meters of exhibition space.

Even Bylogix will be present with its own stand. We are waiting for you from 16 to 18 October 2018 in the Hall 4 booth 4204b with a wide selection of HMI interfaces (Human-Machine interfaces) solutions on autonomous drive tecnology and innovation in the field of Electronics.

It's a second time, but its presentation at the 2018 Paris Motor Show has nevertheless captured the attention of the public. The GG80, already presented at the Geneva Motor Show 2018, represents the long tradition of Giuguaro presenting innovation and style. The electric car was born to celebrate Giorgetto Giugiaro's 80th anniversary and imagines an electric and autonomous future of mobility.

The Sibylla GG80 Concept prototype with a 100% electric propulsion engine, is equipped with highly innovative solutions and latest generation multimedia systems. The ultra wide screen dashboard is placed in the driver area's and runs the entire instrument panel offering access to multimedia tools, vehicle and navigation information and Internet services. Each instrument is shared by drivers and passengers who can autonomy choose what to display in each area of ​​the dashboard and in the screens in the back of the front seats operating the display controllers placed on the central tunnel.

This solution was conceived and developed by Bylogix Srl which, thanks to the many experiences and projects realized in recent years with the Turin designer, has managed to enhance the design and interior comfort of the vehicle.

Battery makers are keen to reduce their use of costly and controversial cobalt. Half the world’s supply of the metallic element comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a war-torn land in which child labor is common. Worse yet, the stuff is getting expensive – cobalt prices have climbed to their highest level in a decade.

Tesla said in its recent letter to shareholders that it has slashed its use of cobalt in the Model 3’s battery cells, while raising nickel content, and that its latest batteries already require less cobalt than other battery-makers’ products. On a conference call with analysts, Musk said, “We think we can get cobalt to almost nothing.”

Tesla has been working to kick its cobalt habit “for literally several years now, and this has been extremely helpful in the overall cost per kilowatt hour, especially with recent commodity price movements,” said CTO JB Straubel.

Tesla claims in its shareholder letter that its battery cells offer the highest energy density of any on the market. “We have achieved this by significantly reducing cobalt content per battery pack while increasing nickel content and still maintaining superior thermal stability.”

LVCHI Auto presented at the Geneva Motor Show 2018 Venus, the first fully electric limousine with high performance tested, ready to go into production in 2019. Venere has been tested by the CSI with surprising results: thanks to over 1,000 horsepower, it reaches 100 km / h stops in just 2.5 seconds, with a top speed of 286 km / h. Autonomy is over 652 km on a single charge.

The Venere project is developed with I.DE.A. Institute, operating in the design, modeling, engineering and prototyping that has made use of the excellence of the Piedmont area in the automotive sector. Among these stands out Bylogix Srl, which designed and developed the electric and electronic vehicle architecture, the logic of integration and function on board and the software that allowed displaying information on the new touch screen in the center console, which acts as a control panel for the driver and passengers.

The 5-meter long limousine is powered by 4 independent electric motors - two front and two rear - capable of reaching 13,000 rpm and generating 185 KW each, for 1,540 Nm of torque. These, together with a 100 KWh Lithium Ion battery, guarantee large numbers in terms of autonomy and performance.

LVCHI Auto will start the production of Venus in Turin. Subsequently, a new electric Citycar will be introduced, allowing the brand to position itself on different segments of the market. Between 2020 and 2021, the development plan includes the launch of SUV and MPV platforms and a high-performance electric sedan.
