Advances in Manual Transmission Design and Lubrication for Passenger Cars
Manual transmissions still maintain a large percentage of the global transmission marketplace. Because of their fuel economy benefits, the lower costs of implementation, and driver control, manual transmissions are a critical piece of the OEM design consideration and require an understanding to be implemented successfully in the design platform. This webcast will highlight some of the challenges moving forward with the design of new manual transmissions for passenger vehicles from hardware to materials to the lubricants inside. It will also examine how these parts work together to deliver enhanced efficiency and discuss improving attribute performance in an ever challenging environment. Find out what our panel of experts have to say on the changes headed your way.
Optimizing the Drivetrain to Achieve Fuel Efficiency in Off-Road Vehicles
Designing vehicles for the off-highway industry is becoming more challenging with global emission standards changing and end-user needs expanding. Doing more work under more stringent duty cycles with less impact on the environment requires a dedicated commitment to innovation at the OEM and Tier supplier level. By utilizing experts from key off-highway companies, this webcast will address future hardware and fluid designs based on performance and the implications at the component level for these design innovations.
Improving Fuel Economy for Commercial Vehicles
Proposed legislation on fuel efficiency for trucks and buses highlights the need for action from OEMs, Tier suppliers, and lubricant manufacturers to help improve fuel economy in commercial vehicles. This webcast will examine two crucial aspects of commercial vehicle fuel economy: component efficiency and system optimization. Topics will include improving engine efficiency, reducing aerodynamic drag, lowering component losses, and selecting fuel-efficient axle lubricants. The technologies currently available as well as technologies that will be coming to market between now and 2014 will be explored.
