We are encourage our colelagues and partners to submit the proposals to Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Staff Exchanges Call supervised by European Research Executive Agency (REA) . This is great opportunity for enhancement of professional skills and knowledge through international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral collaboration.

Special Session on Advanced Wheel Corner Concepts
Special Session on Advanced Wheel Corner Concepts, which will be organized by OWHEEL participants within the framework of SAE 2022 World Congress Experience. The Special Session would like to outline recent trends in new vehicle chassis systems concepts and invites potential authors to submit the papers and presentations in the following topics:
– New variants of chassis architecture
– Active wheel corner systems, incl. active camber, toe, caster
– X-by-wire technologies in light of wheel corner design
– In-wheel motor as element of the wheel corner
– Active suspension design and ride comfort studies
– Redundancy, fail-safety, and dependability of vehicles with active chassis systems
– New materials for passive wheel corner concepts
– Integrated vehicle motion control with new chassis actuators
– Vehicle dynamics with specific wheel positioning (e.g. extra cambering).
The abstracts can be submitted here with indication for the session SS902.
MSCA Green Deal Cluster Event
The OWHEEL Project has participated in Thematic Panel “Green Transport” on the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Green Deal Cluster Event.
Secondments after Lockdown

OWHEEL consortium is happy to re-launch activities after long lockdown period. This week Dr. Viktor Skrickij from VGTU started his secondment to TENNECO and will work on the benchmarking procedures for OWHEEL corner concepts.
The First Secondment
The first OWHEEL secondment has been successfully finished. Hiroyuki Fuse (right) from the University of Tokyo performed research on the direct force control for an electric vehicle at TU Ilmenau under supervision of Valentin Ivanov (left).
