In 2018, we connected with Triggo at the Battery Show trade fair and began collaborating on the design of complete electrical harnesses for an innovative urban vehicle. The project was carried out remotely, resulting in the creation of 10 prototypes, which were showcased at various electromobility events.

STAGES OF THE PROJECT

Establishing contact and project commissioning

In 2018, during the Battery Show trade fair, we established contact with Triggo, a Polish manufacturer of an innovative electric urban vehicle. In 2020, Triggo approached us with a request to design the vehicle’s complete wiring system.

Schematic analysis and project development

We started the project by reviewing the electrical schematic and the Client’s guidelines. The Client provided us with the vehicle body, and using Inventor software, we began working on selecting the appropriate wires, connectors, and terminals in compliance with standards and specifications.

Remote collaboration and project verification

The collaboration was based on exchanging Inventor files, which we sent to the Client and received back with feedback. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, the work was conducted entirely remotely, requiring a high level of engineering and communication skills.

Prototyping and presentation

In the final stage of our collaboration with Triggo, we focused on producing 10 wiring prototypes for the first vehicles. The completed vehicles were showcased by our Client at electromobility events.

The electrical harnesses in the Triggo electric vehicle control many key functions and components:

\\

power the electric motor and its control system

\\

power the energy recovery system management unit

\\

power the control of external and internal lighting

\\

power the safety systems, including ABS and ESP

\\

power the control of air conditioning and heating

\\

power the audio systems, navigation, and displays

\\

supply power to the steering assist systems and brake control units

\\

power the driver assistance systems, sensors, and cameras

\\

power the control of auxiliary functions such as wipers, washers, door locks, USB ports, and other charging outlets

how did we achieve this?

A precise understanding of the Client’s needs

A thorough understanding of the electrical schematic and the Client’s needs, along with continuous exchange of feedback and suggestions, allowed us to precisely tailor our solutions to the specifications and functions required for each part of the vehicle’s wiring system.

Flexible and efficient remote collaboration

Despite the restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we successfully collaborated with the Client remotely, demonstrating our communication skills and ability to execute complex projects without physical contact.

Advanced tools and experience

The use of Inventor software enabled precise modeling, simulations, and file exchanges with the Client, which was crucial for accurately designing and adapting the wiring to the vehicle’s specifications.
