Design Cycle for GM’s Hummer EV Cut by 3 Years
With its Hummer EV, GM has cut 3 years out of its usual 5-year design time.
GM says that the new development process is saving $1.5 billion annually. GM is using new technologies such as virtual product testing and hardware-in-the-loop testing to cut product development time dramatically. It also helps that the Hummer EV is using a battery that was previously developed and has far fewer parts compared to combustion engine technology.
Testing virtual parts saves money since 3-D printed parts can […]
