Generative AI accelerates homologation: FEV simplifies country-specific type approval processes
AACHEN, GERMANY – Newsaktuell – 10 July 2025 – Vehicle development doesn't end with technical readiness: The road to global market launches is only complete once homologation has been successfully achieved. The increasing complexity of national regulations poses growing challenges to OEMs and suppliers. FEV addresses these with an innovative, AI-based approach: The company-wide used 'FEV GenAI Hub' significantly simplifies and accelerates the analysis of regulatory requirements across different global markets, offering time and cost savings that can provide customers with a decisive competitive edge. "In the case of type-approval, we use our in-house AI platform, the 'FEV GenAI Hub', to extract, enrich, and analyze legal texts from standards and laws in a fully automated process," said Dr. Thomas Hülshorst, Group Vice President Intelligent Mobility & Software at FEV. "This enables precise comparisons of regional requirements and identifies any deviations. The platform immediately generates recommendations to ensure legal compliance." Significant efficiency gains In practice, FEV has reduced the time required for comprehensive regulatory analysis from several months to just a few weeks. The AI supports engineers with semantic searches, automated classification, and gap analysis—saving time and reducing the risk of human error. Customers benefit from: Time savings: Reduces analysis time by up to 60% Cost savings: Cuts resource requirements by up to 50% Scalability: Enables comparison of regulatory requirements across global markets Safety: Identifies homologation risks early and provides actionable recommendations Future-oriented use of AI FEV's GenAI Hub serves as a central platform for generative AI in vehicle development. Starting with homologation today, future platform generations will enable additional automation in system development, test management, and project controlling. The goal: Streamline development processes, enhance safety, and increase market orientation to give customers a decisive competitive edge.

The Baltasar Revolt R is an 800kg Spanish track car with a giant wing
Electric Carbon and Kevlar concept is a lightweight EV that could charge to 80 per cent in five minutes Skip 5 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Back in April 2021, a new Spanish company told TG about its bespoke, lightweight 500bhp roadster. That was the Baltasar Revolt, and deliveries were originally scheduled to take place in 2022. That didn't quite happen, although we're now told the Revolt is entering the final stage of its homologation ahead of a proper launch in 2026. So, to drum up some renewed interest ahead of that launch, there is now a new track-only variant of the Revolt called… the Revolt R. Yeah, not the most creative name. Advertisement - Page continues below The aero looks much more creative, with Baltasar sticking on a giant active rear wing, a 'bespoke front end', new side skirts and a whopping great diffuser. There's also an FIA-compliant steel frame chassis underneath covered in full carbon fibre body panels. There's also a single carbon race seat, magnesium wheels fitted with slick tyres and a pushrod suspension setup with bits made from carbon, Kevlar and aerospace-grade aluminium. Heck, the whole thing only weighs 800kg. You might like Baltasar hasn't actually shared any details on the powertrain, but we know the standard road car was supposed to get a twin-motor rear-wheel drive setup with 500bhp and 738lb ft of torque. Should be pretty nippy, then. Oh, and the charging should be equally rapid, with the company claiming a top up to 80 per cent in just five minutes. Of course, it's likely to be a fairly small battery to allow for that, but if the circuit you're at has enough rapid chargers you'll be ready to go again before you've even had a chance to study your last lap data.

Ah, well Baltasar tells us that there's 'no confirmed launch date or official price' as yet, but when it does go into production it should cost around €450,000. Yikes. Makes the £235k BAC Mono R look like a bit of a bargain, doesn't it? Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter. Look out for your regular round-up of news, reviews and offers in your inbox.
