HOW TO TURN COMBUSTION MODEL INTO HYBRID

Scope Of Work:

Ford Mondeo Wagon – Complete trunk area re-design to accommodate and reposition 12V Battery into spare wheel area.

Development of new metal mounting structural Brackets in spare wheel and Trunk floor, carpet, EPP Spacers, Side Trims and package tray. 

Main Challenges:

  • 10 Weeks from Project Kick Off to CAD Completion
  • Common Platform to the existing Non-Electric Wagon Body Style
  • Minimum New Tooling Items investment
Achievements:
  • CAD Completion On Time
  • OK to Sell Deadline On Time
  • 7 weeks for complete Design Preassembly Checks
  • Zero DCV Prototypes
How We Did It:
  • CAD support around the clock (Itera India & Spain)
  • Design Studio proposals lead by ITERA, including A-surface generation
  • Advanced Digital Preassembly checks gateway (Simultaneous Design)
  • Enhanced testing simulation, increased confidence level at Virtual Design Validation Tests to ensure successful Product Validation Tests
