Spotlight on… Israel’s Automotive Technology Industry

With the world increasingly challenged by congested roads and polluted air, Israel’s ground-breaking automotive technologies are in the forefront of improving performance, efficiency, safety and air quality. While Israel does not engage in large scale vehicle manufacturing, about 150 Israeli manufacturers supply systems, parts, modules and tooling to original equipment manufacturers and the aftermarket. Israeli companies have successfully adapted military solutions for civilian use and made Israel a notable technology destination for the international automotive industry.

Israel exports about $800 million of automotive parts and systems annually, many of which are purchased by leading OEM manufacturers, including Daimler, BMW, VW, MAN, Renault-Nissan, PSA Peugeot Citroen, GM, Ford/Mazda, Navistar, Volvo Trucks and Jaguar. Such Tier 1 suppliers as Delphi, Bosch, Valeo, Autoliv, Faurecia, Johnson Controls, ZF, Getrag and Magna Steyr also source components from Israel. MAN, Ford/Mazda, Navistar and Hyundai maintain local purchasing offices, while Volvo Bus jointly owns bus manufacturer Merkavim Transportation Technologies with an Israeli company. Tomcar, a local company, manufactures rugged yet agile, military-proven off-road vehicles that have won wide acceptance.

Israel’s skilled workforce, strict compliance with international quality standards, computerized logistics and advanced R&D capabilities position the country as a prime destination for outsourcing and development of new products. In recent years Israel has developed a number of breakthrough technologies, including specialized materials, advanced electronics, communication systems, driver awareness systems, automotive IT and security. As electronics become an increasingly significant aspect of every vehicle, having recently risen from 15 percent to 35 percent of total car cost, Israel is well placed to become a leader in this market segment.

Automotive Software Engineering (Software Engineering for Software in Automobiles)

Software as Innovation Driver in Automobiles

The significance of software-based functioning in automobiles has consistently grown in the last three decades. New types of functions have dramatically changed with regard to Security, Comfort and Assistance. Along with this a fundamental change in the development process, must be aligned with the fact that nearly all parts of an automobile incorporate networked, software-based functionality. The strong dependence between the functions leads to completely new Software and Systems Engineering requirements.

Close partnership between Research and Industry

The fast technical advancement with its quick changing dynamic calls for the tight cooperation between research and industrial practice in order to quickly recognize and act on the complex research questions found in industrial practice and to quickly validate and implement research resolution methods.

Master of Automotive Software Engineering

Compared to the Bachelor of Informatics course of study, the Master of Automotive Software Engineering course of study includes a course specialization in the Automobile technology application field , while topics from Informatics, Mechatronics, Electrical engineering and Information technology, and Economics are linked. Thereby, programming languages, modelling technologies, tools and processes could more intensively be examined and how they in practice, during the implementation of software intensive systems, could be used in automobiles.

Automotive specialists are much sought-after

A limiting factor for the industry has up to now been a deficit in highly skilled labor for the creation and implementation of new processes and methods. The industry's great need for excellently trained engineers with widespread methods and a corresponding knowledge of the domain, will systematically be addressed through this Master course of study.

MINI Cooper Diagnostic manual explained

We have been asked what the differences between our standard MINI Cooper service manual and our MINI Cooper Diagnosis Without Guesswork is. Below is a brief video with the answer.

bentley_bmd6_cv_large1

Diagnostic tools and techniques
Component descriptions and operation
Circuit wiring schematics
Pinout charts, waveforms, and nominal values
Bus system operation and testing
OBD II P-code (DTC) lookup

This MINI Cooper Diagnosis Without Guesswork handbook is a diagnostic manual written for the professional technician and the MINI enthusiast. Not intended to be a repair manual, this handbook is your comprehensive source for engine management and on-board system diagnosis.

gt1

For the MINI technician with advanced automotive test equipment, the circuit descriptions, pinout charts, wiring schematics, scope traces, and real-world nominal values will prove essential in diagnosing problem cars.

dmm

Even if you own only a generic OBD-II scan tool, a DVOM and a set of jumper wires, this book will help provide fast answers and guidance as it steps you through the diagnostic process.

As a result of publishing our MINI repair manuals, we have been asked for DTC-based diagnostic information. This handbook is a response to that feedback.

Mercedes CNC CL600 – Alley Rig

I haven’t really had the need to use a rig before to get good motion capture shots of a car. But, for these cars, I wanted to do something different that I hadn’t done before, so I finally got my hands on a rig and made a few shots.Â
