Speaker: Stéphan Magne 

 About the speaker:

Stéphan Magne is an NVH Expert and Simulation Team Leader at Valeo Power Division. He holds a PhD in Aeroacoustics from Université de Sherbrooke (Canada) and a Master’s in Acoustics and Vibration from INSA Lyon and the University of Southampton. With over 10 years of experience in system-level NVH design and powertrain development for electric and combustion platforms, he specialises in developing innovative methodologies to improve NVH and R&D efficiency. His work bridges simulation and experimental validation, supporting global engineering teams in delivering quieter powertrain solutions.

About the talk:

As the automotive industry accelerates toward electrification, understanding and controlling noise and vibration in electric powertrains has become a critical engineering challenge. This presentation explores the complex acoustic landscape of modern eDrive systems, detailing the primary noise sources and their transmission paths to vehicle occupants.

Building upon extensive experience in electrification technologies, we will examine the distinct NVH characteristics of reducers and motors. In particular, the presentation will demonstrate advanced methodologies for gear whine prediction through Static Transmission Error measurement and simulation. Particular attention will be given to the integration challenges of eDrives within vehicle architectures, including structure-borne and air-borne noise transmission paths. The session will conclude with insights into emerging research directions and the evolving NVH requirements for next-generation electric mobility solutions across various applications, from light urban vehicles to high-performance electric powertrains.
