MOTORCYCLE DEVELOPMENT

BERTRANDT ENGINEERING NETWORK

“Motorcycles play a key role in an environmentally friendly, mobile future. We have been active for many years now in developing motorcycles for our customers. As a result, the range of services offered by Bertrandt goes far beyond design and engineering. From the initial concept and responsibility for projects and complete processes right through to quality management and services after start of production, we cover the entire product development process and product life cycle.”

Bertrandt’s motorcycle development team

EFFICIENT MOBILITY WITH A FUN FACTOR

04 05

From the idea to series- production readiness – more than 12,500 employees at 51  Bertrandt locations worldwide develop solutions in the fields of design, electrics / electronics, simulation and testing. The range of servic-es is complemented by develop-ment-supporting services in areas of expertise including project man-agement, quality management, process management and logistics.

Design

As an experienced and reliable service provider for motorcycle development working closely with the customer, we have a comprehensive range of exper-tise along the entire product development process. Short distances, very good network-ing with all relevant Compe-tence Centres and tight inter-nal coordination ensure that we provide well-organised and efficient project planning and implementation. The customer has access to a central contact partner throughout the entire project duration.

Modelling and RapidTechnologies

The sooner solutions can be verified in design development, the more efficient the develop-ment process will be. Bertrandt makes its customers’ ideas tangible in three-dimensional models. Our expertise “from sketch to final” makes a great contribution to innovation with costs that can be clearly calcu-lated. Even the initial discussion takes place with a specialist from the relevant production area – with detailed know-how and personal support guaranteed.

� 5-axis milling �CNC turning / chamfering � (3D) water jet cutting � Sheet metal forming � Toolmaking �WIG and MAG welding � Production of plastic components (3D printing, RIM, etc.) �Clay modelling � Prototype manufacturing, in-cluding finish and painting � Tolerance chain analysis � Raw data for limit position visualisation �Mountability analyses � Small series production for special vehicles and accessories

Electronics Development

Our electronics development is based on the classic ‘V model’. More than 40 years of engi-neering experience for all major OEMs ensures that our projects are carried out efficiently.

�Concept development �Geometrical integration � Series development � Testing and validation of ECUs and their peripherals � Series support and further de-velopment, change manage-ment for ECUs �Control and display concept development � Software tool chain development � Test processing � Tests for component release � Support for and further de-velopment of the motorcycle simulator

�Operation of subsystem test stand �Development and construc-tion of subsystem / compo-nent test stands �Construction and conversion of prototypes / series-produc-tion vehicles � Simultaneous / modular engi-neering / project management � Release management � Analysis of / response to after-sales enquiries / production plant

Powertrain

Also in the field of the power-train, we cover the entire prod-uct development process with well-founded expertise. We consider all technical challenges and high customer expectations regarding dynamics, sporti-ness and performance in every phase of powertrain develop-ment. Whether it is the design concept or series development, construction or testing, compo-nents or modules – we provide expert support either in-house or at the customer’s own loca-tion. Completely individually. That is our strength.

� Simulation of powertrain concepts � Thermodynamics and emissions � ECUs / calibration of power-train functions �Gearbox and drive train � Tank systems � Powertrain development workshop

Simulation andFunction Design

As a development service pro-vider with all the relevant know-how in the simulation of mo-torcycle components, we can offer our customers years of interdisciplinary experience in both large and small projects. The decentralised structure of the Bertrandt Group with sites located close to its customers ensures the flexible and scal-able utilisation of simulation capacity.

� Statics � Stiffness � Strength � Endurance strength � Thermal analyses �Dynamic analyses �Virtual test validation � Lifetime and eigenfrequency analyses

Testing

Our Testing Competence Centre has the highest stand-ards regarding quality and per-formance. Our services not only include start-stop tests. We also offer you expertise based on many years of experience in test project planning and in the integration of systems, modules and components.
