ABSTRACT
Tesla Motors, Inc. pioneers in the state-of-the art, pure electric, zero emission and high performance vehicles. This presentation provides an overview of Tesla Motors and its advanced electric powertrain.. This presentation also highlights how simulation driven design enables valuable trade-off studies for vehicle profile definition. Tesla Motors, Inc. has developed proprietary vehicle models that are specifically tailored towards pure-electric drive-train. Simulation driven design reduces the number of physical prototypes and change orders throughout the product development process. Hence simulation driven design yields significant time and cost benefits.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dr. Peng Zhou joined Tesla Motors, Inc. in Jan 2007 as Director, Research and Development. He leads Tesla Motors’ Advanced Projects group and is also responsible for the newly developed 1.5 powertrain for Tesla Roadster. Before joining Tesla Motors, Inc., Dr. Zhou served in various start-ups including High Speed Solutions, Inc. (acquired by Intel Corp.) and Cooligy, Inc. (acquired by Emerson Electric). At Cooligy, Dr. Zhou led the technology development of a mass-produced micro-channel liquid cooling systems for high-end workstation. Dr. Zhou received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University and MS and BS degree from University of Science and Technology in China.
