This year’s seminar promises an exciting lineup of topics, including brake particle emissions (for both passenger and heavy-duty vehicles) and related testing innovations, brakes and electrification, brake linings and raw materials, NVH challenges, rotor and caliper materials, and much more. If you’re passionate about the future of braking technology, be sure to check out the event link below.
We’re looking forward to connecting with many of you in Barcelona!
ISO 26262 Functional Safety (TÜV Rheinland) Certification is Acquired
Our founder, Tayfun Hekimoglu, has earned the ISO 26262 Functional Safety Engineer certification from TÜV Rheinland — a key achievement in the automotive field. Functional Safety is essential for ASIL-D systems like steering, braking, and active suspension, where reliability is critical. ISO 26262 ensures a structured approach to managing risks in E/E systems. This milestone reinforces our dedication to building safer, smarter, and more reliable automotive technologies.
Smarter Rides: The Evolution of Active Suspensions
As automotive technology continues to advance, suspension systems are evolving beyond their traditional passive roles. Active suspension systems represent a significant leap forward - designed to adapt instantly to road conditions, driving inputs, and varying vehicle load.
By actively managing each wheel's motion, these systems enhance comfort, safety, and performance across all driving scenarios. This article examines the technologies, components, benefits, and real-world applications that define modern active suspension systems.
EVs Racing for Nürburgring Nordschleife Lap Record
The Nürburgring Nordschleife is one of the toughest racetracks in the world. At 20.8 km long, it is known as the "Green Hell" because of its difficult corners, big elevation changes, and unpredictable weather. Car manufacturers, both old and new, use this track to test how well their cars perform under extreme conditions.
For EV makers, setting a Nürburgring lap record isn’t just about bragging rights. It proves that their car’s powertrain, cooling system, suspension, and aerodynamics can handle tough conditions without losing performance. But why is this race for lap records so important, and what does it mean for EV development? Let’s take a closer look.
ISO 9001:2015 Certification is Achieved
Established in June 2022, Kingpin Dynamics AB has achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification, a notable success that sets us apart in the industry. Obtaining ISO 9001:2015 certification is a remarkable feat, and for a company of our size, it's an unusual accomplishment.
This certification underscores our unwavering commitment to quality, client satisfaction, continuous improvement and it's a testament to the dedication and hard work.
A Case Study: ISO 9001 Certification at Kingpin Dynamics
The focus of this case study is Kingpin Dynamics, a one-person engineering company led solely by Tayfun Hekimoglu, an accomplished engineer. The small company took on the challenge of implementing ISO 9001 independently, leveraging the comprehensive 9001Simplified Certification Toolkit.
Unlock Precision Control: Rear Wheel Steering & 4-Wheel Steering
Precision control is a top priority in the automotive industry nowadays. As vehicles advance and the need for safety, agility, and efficiency grows, innovative technologies like rear wheel steering (RWS) and 4-wheel steering (4WS) are emerging.
The Steer-by-Wire Technology: Its Evolution, Necessity, and Challenges
In the evolving automotive technology, innovations have continuously reshaped the way we interact with and control vehicles. One of these notable advancements is "steer-by-wire" technology, which replaces the traditional mechanical link between the steering wheel and the wheels with electronic systems.
Navigating the Looming Shortage of Hardware Engineers in the Automotive and Mobility Industry
As we steer towards a software-driven future in the automotive and mobility sector, let's not overlook the indispensable role of hardware engineers.
