Acoustic underbody paneling geometry: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Turbulent airflow beneath the chassis increases drag and reduces fuel efficiency. These innovations engineer specific paneling structures and wheel arch interfaces to optimize laminar flow and reduce parasitic losses.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Acoustic underbody paneling geometry?

Insufficient brake thermal dissipation

(8)evidences

Insufficient airflow to braking components leads to thermal fading and reduced stopping power. Improving heat extraction ensures consistent mechanical performance and safety during high-load operation.

Excessive exterior vehicle noise

(3)evidences

Unshielded vehicle understructures create turbulent airflow and acoustic disturbances. Reducing these resistances improves fuel efficiency and passenger cabin comfort.

Inadequate powertrain thermal regulation

(1)evidences

Fixed air intake geometries create suboptimal airflow resistance at varying vehicle speeds. Reducing drag improves fuel efficiency and high-speed stability.
