Summer demo sessions complete! More than 10 dedicated demo sessions with OEM customers and investors, often with multiple teams joining at once, made the past months a busy, intense and genuinely rewarding period for Elaphe. https://in-wheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/SummerDEMOSessions.mp4 For us, the value of each demo is not only putting our technology on the track, but in bringing the right people into the vehicle, into the discussion and into the…

Improved braking distance with IWM https://in-wheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/90-0-WET-social.mp4 https://in-wheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/100-0-DRY-social.mp4 Conventional ABS is limited by hydraulic bandwidth. In-wheel systems change that boundary. At Chassis.tech, Tomaž Kompara presented our Reactive Dual-Stage ABS work: a braking architecture where the mechanical brake carries the low-frequency, high-power braking load, while the in-wheel system handles high-frequency slip control directly at the wheel. The important point is not only…
