Schaeffler's Mover electric vehicle is designed to also be autonomous acting as a shuttle in certain areas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Electric vehicles could\u00a0account for 30% of the cars and trucks sold worldwide by 2030, executives\u00a0from one of the auto industry\u2019s major suppliers said during a symposium the company\u00a0organized in Detroit.<\/p>\n

Marc McGrath, president of Schaeffler Automotive Americas, said the shift to electric vehicles will be slower in North America than in China or Europe where \u201cpeople are running away from diesel\u201d and several cities have moving to ban the internal combustion engine altogether.<\/p>\n

The company is moving to update its product portfolio to accommodate the move to electric vehicles and hybrids, which are destined to play an even larger role in the U.S. market where pick-up trucks and big sport utility vehicles are very popular, McGrath said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aren\u2019t just going to give up the vehicles we love,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

McGrath added that Schaeffler, a traditional supplier, also now has an office in California\u2019s Silicon Valley, which is keeping track of the new trends in \u201cmobility\u201d that are threatening to disrupt the traditional automotive industry.<\/p>\n

One of projects assigned to the Silicon Valley office is concept vehicles that can provide answers to mobility requirements in growing metropolitan areas.The \u201cSchaeffler Mover\u201d was unveiled during the symposium.\u00a0It\u00a0offers a flexible and emission-free platform for a range of different vehicle concepts, McGrath said.<\/p>\n

All the drive and chassis components are integrated in one unit, called the \u201cSchaeffler Intelligent Corner Module,\u201d to save space and enable vehicle maneuverability and passenger comfort, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s auto industry is transforming into a mobility industry,\u201d said Jeff Hemphill, CTO, Schaeffler Americas.<\/p>\n

\u201cTightening global regulations, new mobility business models and rapidly evolving technologies make designing a vehicle technology portfolio as exciting as it is challenging. This year\u2019s Symposium is the ideal forum to connect with our automaker customers during this exciting point in automotive history.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the symposium, Schaeffler officials planned to\u00a0present other\u00a0technologies for future mobility, including components and system\u00a0for optimizing internal combustion engine powertrains and the electrification of hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
