Room FEV Powertrain Innovation Forum
Demands on vehicle electrical architectures have skyrocketed as fuel efficiency targets have moved to the forefront in the automotive sector. Newer,
mainstream automotive technologies such as steering-by-wire, brake-by-wire, variable valve trains, active suspensions, and heated catalysts,
among others, are also placing dramatically greater demands on electrical systems. Powertrain developers are also being tasked with placing much
more emphasis on the recovery and use of wasted mechanical and thermal energy as they consider technologies such as kinetic energy recover
systems, better management of AC/heating energy use and the potential use of heat pumps to recover exhaust heat. These trends are not unique to
just niche market vehicles, but are becoming mainstream considerations for larger volume products. Automotive engineers are being challenged like
never before to increase energy efficiency and to efficiently recover waste energy. This session will provide a balanced OEM/supplier assessment of
the emerging technologies we can expect to see that address this need.

Room FEV Powertrain Innovation Forum
A majority of the engineering community¿s mindset is to approach solutions from a distinct single-track methodology. The goal of systems
engineering is to approach solutions from multiple disciplines and perspectives to generate a solution as a whole. By breaking down the boundaries
within specific organizations and working collaboratively to develop a solution that reduces time to market, reduces cost and improves efficiency and
reliability. The greatest challenge is buy-in from all of the engineering departments to accept changes (and cost) for the greater good of the
technology change.
