Real-world fuel consumption to come under focus at transmission & driveline IMechE event 


Currently offered with a 15% early bird booking discount, the seminar will address transmission and driveline strategies and problems faced by passenger cars, heavy-duty vehicles and off-highway vehicles. 
 


The event will provide an exclusive opportunity to meet representatives of car OEMs and driveline 
suppliers for on and off-highway heavy vehicles. The increasing capability of electronic control systems has helped to facilitate joint developments of engines, drivelines and gearboxes.

• Mark Stanton, director vehicle engineering, Jaguar Land Rover 


• Jérôme Mortal, chief engineer – transmissions, driveline & powertrain systems, Jaguar Land Rover


• Vladimir Vantsevich, director, vehicle & robotics engineering laboratory, University of Alabama


• Jonathan Horsley, lead technologist – low carbon vehicles innovation platform, Innovate UK


• Jon Hilton, product development & sales director, Torotrak
 


Topics include

• New requirements for off road capability, performances, NV, fuel economy and weight 


• New concepts not reliant on conventional architecture 


• The latest modelling and simulation technologies 


• Known and novel technologies for passenger car, off-highway and truck sectors 
• CO2 impact for transmission variants and subsystems 


• “Real world” fuel consumption and its impact running up to 2025


• Mobility, energy efficiency and stability of terrain multi-wheel vehicles 
• Unique applications including military trucks, construction equipment and farm tractors
 


Event bookings are currently being offered with an early bird discount of 15% before 30 November 2014.
