Siemens VDO engineers are working on plans to
integrate the drivetrain, steering, shock
absorbers and brakes directly into the wheels
of future cars. This concept, called eCorner,
is the basis for the ecological
"Drive-by-Wire" automobiles, which will
become a common sight on roads in 15 years.
eCorner replaces the conventional wheel
suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers,
mechanical steering, hydraulic brakes and,
above all, conventional internal combustion
engines. For car owners, eCorner translates
into improved fuel mileage, more safety and
greater convenience. eCorner provides
designers with all new freedom to create
future cars with an electric drivetrain and
electronic control.
