Messring | Crash Slide for Component Testing
The Small Overlap Crash Test is one of the greatest challenges to the structural strength of vehicles. One of the main assessment criteria is the pene tration of tires, body and chassis parts into the passenger compartment. With the M=SLED Small Overlap from Messring, there is now the option of testing critical chassis components that could penetrate the passenger com partment without destroying an entire vehicle body. The test sled is designed for use with a hydro brake and is designed to realistically display the test scenario
on the left side of the vehicle. The chassis under test runs freely rolling on the ground at up to 64 km/h against a force measuring wall, which is contoured to the small overlap barrier, and is decelerated in a controlled manner until it breaks. Thanks to the additional force measuring wall, which is based on a wheel housing shape and travels on sleds, the resulting forces and deflection of the components in the wheel housing are recorded. The sled can be adapted to different chassis mounts.

Volvo | Cornering Assistant
32
To reduce the risk of accidents, Volvo is offering a cornering assistant in its 60- and 90-series models that complements the driving functions of adaptive cruise control and pilot assist. The curve speed assist is able to automatically reduce speed before sharp bends if the set speed is considered too high. The system uses the map data of the navigation system for this purpose. After passing through the bend, the car accelerates back to the preset speed value. A com fortable set-up is set as standard; with the “Dynamic” option, the car takes the bends in a sportier manner and accelerates more when leaving the bend. The curve speed assist must be selected in the car’s navigation system in addition to adaptive cruise control or the pilot assist function. However, it can be deactivated by the driver at any time by accelerating or braking.

Henkel | Polyacrylate Sealing permeability and increased oil resistance. It also enables a liquid sealant to be dosed directly onto components, which then cures within a few seconds under UV light to form a strong, seamless
pressure seal. This process reduces the risk of rework and leakage. Areas of application include engine and transmission covers, electronic components and components such as expansion tanks.
The automotive supplier Visteon is providing the infotainment platform for the VW Play system in Volkswagen’s new Nivus model, which will be offered initially only on the South American market. The system is designed to improve connectivity, streaming and other services, and also includes a rear view camera. The touch panel offers a 10.1" switching display with a screen resolution of 1540 × 720 pixels and is equipped with a split-screen function to facilitate operation. The high-resolution monitor is easily visible from any angle, making the infotainment system accessible to all vehicle occupants. VW Play will be launched in Brazil and will su
