IFP, Rueil Malmaison, France
To meet future vehicle fuel consumption and CO2 emission reduction targets, driveability and vehicle comfort, significant gains in transmission and driveline efficiency need to be made together with an optimisation of the associated engine operating envelopes.
Following the significant success and positive feedback from the recent « Transmissions » conferences, held in May 2005 and 2007, the SIA “Powertrain” Technical Committee has decided to make this a regular event, to be held every other year. SIA is therefore pleased to announce the next “Transmissions” day to be held in 2009 with the main theme of:
ADVANCED TRANSMISSIONS FOR LOW CO2 VEHICLES
for Passenger cars, Trucks and Off-Highway applications
Recent innovations in this field do indeed show an abundance of new technologies as well as the emergence of new transmission concepts and architectures, not to mention the rapidly growing developments in drivetrains for electric and hybrid applications.
The objective of this conference will therefore be to review the state of the art, recent developments and innovations, in transmission and driveline technologies and to examine the numerous application possibilities along with their associated benefits for future CO2 legislations.
