TrinamiX and Aumovio will demonstrate a non-invasive blood alcohol measurement solution for private and commercial vehicles at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. The technology is designed to enhance road safety and address regulatory demand for driver-monitoring systems. The system enables real-time measurement of blood alcohol concentration by touching a sensor with a fingertip.

The technology uses invisible near-infrared light that interacts with ethanol molecules present in the tissue under the skin. By analysing the reflection of this light, the system’s algorithms based on AI can derive the alcohol content in a person’s blood. The functionality and performance of this technology have been scientifically validated through a clinical study.

TrinamiX provides expertise in spectroscopy and optical sensing, while Aumovio offers know-how in vehicle system design and integration. The system can be configured to meet different market requirements and threshold levels.

The miniaturised NIR spectroscopy sensor offers convenience and features:

• Non-Invasive Convenience: Touch-based, eliminating the need for users to blow into a device.
• Real-Time Readings: Results are delivered in seconds to ensure operational efficiency.
• Seamless Integration in Vehicles: Compact and adaptable for various vehicle positions to encourage user acceptance.
• Automotive System Design and Integration: Provided through partnership with Aumovio.

Wilfried Hermes, Director Consumer Electronics & Automotive EU & NA, TrinamiX, said, “Our NIR spectroscopy technology offers a reliable, user-friendly way to measure blood alcohol levels, redefining driver safety standards. By providing OEMs with a vital tool to meet emerging safety regulations, we’re empowering a safer and more convenient future for all road users.”

Ulrich Luders, Director Strategy & Portfolio, User Experience business unit at Aumovio, said, "The integration of TrinamiX's NIR spectroscopy, for example into vehicle displays, enables innovative safety and health features directly in the car. With this we create new standards for comfort and safety and demonstrate how such technologies can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems."

Chinese technology company InfiMotion presented its latest electric drive technologies at the 5th International Forum on Automotive Power Systems held in Songjiang. The event gathered industry experts to discuss the theme of ‘dual carbon drive, diversified win-win.’

The company showcased a dual motor assembly featuring a magnesium aluminium alloy shell, which it identifies as a world first for mass production. The assembly uses a patented 360-degree bidirectional, full oil cooling technology for heat dissipation. According to the organisation, the magnesium aluminium alloy housing reduces weight by 25 percent compared to traditional aluminium versions while maintaining hardness, aiding vehicle range and energy consumption.

InfiMotion also showcased magnetic field adjustable motors, which is intended to reduce no-load drag losses and optimise power consumption.

Furthermore, it also displayed ultra-high speed motors capable of 36,000rpm for high-performance applications and 9-in-1 electronic control units designed to integrate power domain control and reduce drive weight.

During the forum, Xu Zhe, a technology expert at InfiMotion, delivered a speech titled ‘The Era Wave of Cross Integration of Electric Drive Calibration and Data Science.’

The presentation addressed the integration of product technology with data science during the research and development process.

The exhibition resulted in exchanges between InfiMotion and several domestic and international enterprises regarding the production and application of future power systems.

Italian technology company Brembo has announced that its intelligent braking platform, Sensify, has entered commercial production for a major global vehicle manufacturer. The system is being fitted as standard across the entirety of the vehicles in the initial programme, representing the platform's first full industrial deployment.

Sensify is designed as a fluid-free architecture that replaces centralised hydraulic circuits with distributed intelligence at the wheel level. This design allows for the precision control, wherein the system enables continuous and accurate modulation of braking forces to maintain vehicle stability in variable driving conditions. The platform integrates with software-defined vehicle architectures, allowing manufacturers to deploy advanced functions across different vehicle segments. It is engineered to be adaptable with the technology supporting a range of applications from driver assistance systems to fully autonomous vehicles.

Following this production milestone, Brembo has secured additional contracts with new customers for the Sensify platform. The company expects to equip hundreds of thousands of vehicles annually, moving toward large-scale deployment of by-wire braking systems.

Daniele Schillaci, CEO, Brembo, said, “Sensify translates our vision of an intelligent, integrated braking platform into industrial reality. Designed to orchestrate the entire corner ecosystem, it supports safer mobility, while paving the way for the next generation of software-defined vehicles, reflecting our long-term purpose of shaping a Zero Accident Future”.

Bengaluru-based technology company Tsuyo Manufacturing has been granted two patents for electric vehicle motor designs, increasing its portfolio to 29 innovations.

The company claims it has supplied 300,000 powertrains to 25 manufacturers across the commercial vehicle, agriculture and industrial sectors.

The first patent covers a bridge design for synchronous reluctance motors. This architecture increases torque density and efficiency whilst reducing energy losses and the requirement for rare-earth materials. The second patent focuses on a five-phase permanent magnet motor using a dual inverter system. This technology allows the motor to switch between modes for startup and torque demands and maintains operation if a phase failure occurs.

These technologies were developed through research and collaboration with the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur. The company recently received approval from the Government of Karnataka for a manufacturing expansion to increase powertrain production.

Vijay Kumar, Founder and CEO, Tsuyo Manufacturing, said, "These patents mark a significant milestone and recognition in our mission to develop and promote Design-In-India technology for both domestic and global EV markets. At Tsuyo, we are not merely creating components; we are engineering a comprehensive design approach, crafting fundamental technology to drive sustainable and impactful innovation.
