Joerg Ross

“My PHD in 1993 at RWTH Aachen University, followed by a stint as a project engineer at FEV, provided me with a whole world of experiences and a deep insight into the latest powertrain technologies, developments, and methodologies. From the high-volume production engine at Ford to responsibility for the race engine at Ferrari, from leading advanced powertrain and electrification at IAV and Maserati to heading up powertrains at Aston Martin, I am extremely fortunate to have enjoyed both a fantastic set of experiences and to have developed the engineering skills required to drive progress.”

Giorgio Mancini

“My experience of control system design, mainly focused on powertrain systems and test rigs, has been gained over years working in research and industry roles. I’ve been involved in projects covering a wide spectrum of technical topics, stakeholders, and multicultural teams of different sizes and backgrounds. My career includes numerous advanced engineering projects involving the extensive use of Mathworks software as well as National Instruments toolchain for control algorithm development. I hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (University of Bologna and ETH Zurich), and a Master's degree in Technology and Innovation Management (Bologna Business School)."

Simone Malaguti

“After completing my PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, I focused on CFD for internal combustion engines as a Researcher / Assistant Professor. I then applied my experience in research and modelling to the industrial world. As an Innovation Specialist on an Alfa Romeo project for Maserati Spa, I contributed to the development of new, high-power density V6 and 4-cylinder engines. I then joined Aston Martin to lead the Advanced Powertrain Team, focusing on new technologies for internal combustion engines, hybrid applications, and electrification projects.”

Our approach to Simulations

We use advanced simulation techniques to bring our powertrain concepts alive. For us, simulation isn’t just a box to tick but a key driver of design. Our upfront simulations – developed and validated in OEM environments – lead to significant reductions in the time spent on design looping, testing and development
Simulation models underpin the entire process from designing concepts to solving problems during development and early production, as well as providing the foundation for our control and software solutions.

Staying in complete control

We also develop control algorithms and model-based software, from rapid prototyping to series development, to optimize the energy management of electrified powertrains – notably for complex and high-performance hybrid vehicles, but also for other systems too.

A range of different control techniques cover both offline - for the optimal solution, and online - for real-time implementation on the target ECU (Electronic Control Unit).
Our SW validation process goes through the traditional steps of Model-in-the-loop, Software-in-the-loop and finally Hardware-in-the-loop, based on the specific projects needs.
We can also take care of the selection, configuration, and management of the HiL system, acting as your one-stop shop for SW development and validation.
