For nearly 25 years, there has been a must-see "Corning paper" presentation, pioneered by Dr. Tim Johnson in 2000, that provided a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in emissions control. More recently, this effort was undertaken by Dr. Ameya Joshi, who expanded the scope to more broadly address the greenhouse gas and decarbonization goals. Recognizing the great value of a yearly wrap-up and the herculean effort required to include contributions of both the engine and fuel in reducing emissions, this year's presentation will be delivered by a panel of subject matter experts. This panel is a collaborative effort between the Mobile Source Emissions, Engine Combustion and Fuels & Lubricants Committees in the Energy & Propulsion Activity.

The purpose of this session is to share experiences and lessons learned to advance the technology in the field of thermal management of electric and hybrid vehicle systems. This session presents papers covering both testing and simulation of hybrid and electric vehicle thermal systems.

This session focuses on the SI combustion ignition process and advanced ignition systems. Papers cover both 4-stroke and 2-stroke engines characterized by 1) ignition by an external energy source that serves to control combustion phasing, and 2) a combustion rate that is limited by flame propagation. This specific section focuses on prechamber ignition systems.

Topics include the effects of fuel and additives on deposit formation, intake system cleanliness, friction, wear, corrosion, and elastomer compatibility. Also covered are effects of fuel specification on drivability, on evaporative emissions, and on the relationship between emissions and drive cycle.

This session will feature technical presentations that will discuss new technology and industry insights in automotive interiors. Focus areas include materials, perceived quality, environmental concerns, manufacturing, safety, and durability.

This technical session focuses on fundamental and applied research that lowers frictional energy losses and enhances reliability and durability of automotive components. The topics include, but not limited to engine and drivetrain tribology, seals, bearing and gear lubrication, materials tribology, surface engineering, lubricants and additives, computer-aided tribology, tribotesting, as well as friction, wear and lubrication fundamentals.

The mobility industry is constantly challenged to provide customers with the ultimate in reliability and durability. As a result, when failures occur during testing or real-world service, it is essential to identify the root cause and take appropriate corrective action in a timely manner. This session will cover failure analysis methodology, fundamentals of failure mechanisms, non-destructive evaluation, fractography, material fatigue testing, fatigue life design for vehicles, material fracture criteria, damage and fracture characterization, fracture prediction in vehicle crash, material fracture behavior in high strain rates, etc., and creative problem-solving case examples of failure analysis and prevention.

This session provides a forum for researchers and application engineers to disseminate the knowledge and information gained in the area of advanced high-strength and press-hardening steel development and applications in automotive structures, enabling light-weight and durable vehicles with improved safety.

This session features papers on the full array of transmission and driveline related components

This session focuses on the SI combustion ignition process and advanced ignition systems. Papers cover both 4-stroke and 2-stroke engines characterized by 1) ignition by an external energy source that serves to control combustion phasing, and 2) a combustion rate that is limited by flame propagation. This specific section focuses on conventional spark plug ignition systems.

Substantial decarbonization of the on-road transportation sector cannot occur without a significant contribution from Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEV). Low carbon liquid fuels provide the ability to reduce carbon emissions from the legacy fleet and future ICEVs with little or no change to existing fuel infrastructure. These fuels exist today, can be produced globally and are currently being demonstrated on U.S. roads. Additionally, they complement current vehicle electrification efforts by further lowering the carbon footprint of hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles. The challenge is bringing the fuels to market quickly, at scale and at a competitive price. Learn more about the Panel Participants
