Tomorrow''s Transmissions
13th International CTI Symposium, Berlin, Germany, 8-11 December 2014
Plus Transmission Expo - http://www.transmission-symposium.com/en/transmission-expo/
(ots) - The diversity of transmission and drive
concepts is booming, with no sign of consolidation in sight. "Due to
electrification and the growing complexity of drives, competition for
the best transmission and drive concept has entered a whole new
dimension", explains Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ferit Küçükay (Director Institute
of Automotive Engineering, Technical University of Braunschweig).
"Drives and transmissions need to be so well integrated into the
overall vehicle, and network so well with vehicles, driving
environments and drivers, that they work with optimal efficiency, and
safely. Transmissions also need to be affordable, light and compact,
offer segment and market-specific advantages, and meet legal
requirements for energy consumption and CO2 emissions".
All the more reason to look forward to the 13th International CTI
Symposium "Automotive Transmissions, HEV and EV Drives" in Berlin
(December 8-11 2014). Under Küçükay''s chairmanship, over 100 experts
for drives, transmissions and components from around the world will
meet up to discuss new developments in the transmission world with
around 1,100 participants from 20 nations. This year''s focus rests on
current transmission concepts and new developments in alternative
drives such as Full Hybrid, Plug-in or EV with and without Range
Extenders, and also Mild Hybrids and 48 volt technology as the most
affordable form of electrification. According to estimates, this Mild
Hybrid variant will be on board at least one in ten of the 112.5
million cars sold in ten years'' time. Many auto suppliers are already
working with this technology, which is said to help save fuel, reduce
emissions and improve comfort.
Other themes at Germany''s transmissions event with the highest
number of international experts are start and shift elements, new
transmission and alternative drive concepts for trucks, batteries and
infrastructure, E motors, NVH, lubrication systems and oiling
inspections, the impact of driving cycles on the design of
transmissions and alternative drives, simulation and diagnosis, and
sensor technology. Among the experts expected to attend are Prof.
Dr.-Ing. Herbert Kohler (Daimler), Prof. Helmut List (AVL List),
Bernhard Mattes (Ford), Dr. Klaus Badenhausen (Chery Automobile Co.),
Terry Nakatsuka (Jatco), Uwe Wagner (Schaeffler), Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jens
Hadler (Automobile Inspection Technology Landau), Prof. Dr.-Ing.
Stefan Pischinger (FEV) and Enrico Sedoni (CNH Industrial). For

CTI Award
Once again, highlights will include the award ceremony for the CTI
Young Drive Expert Award, which honours outstanding student papers
and dissertations on transmissions and drive developments. This
year''s motto is "The Future Needs Young Developers". The submission
deadline for entries is 20 October 2014. For more about the CTI
Award, please visit http://www.transmission-symposium.com/en/award
CTI Test Drive
The CTI Test Drive is a regular feature at the transmission event.
It offers participants a hands-on experience of applications from all
aspects of transmissions - plus the chance to put alternative drive
technologies through their paces in series production and
demonstration vehicles. Over 20 vehicles are lined up, including the
American luxury electric car Cadillac ELR, the new Opel Corsa with
MTA, the Opel Mokka with AT6 (GF III), a Chevrolet Corvette with MT7,
BMW''s 2 Series Active Tourer (the company''s first van and
front-wheel-drive model), a C-Class vehicle with a 1.5l TGDI engine
and 7-gear Wet DCT by Chinese manufacturer Changan, the new
Mercedes-Benz CLS with 9G-TRONIC, a Nissan Qashqai 2l diesel with CVT
transmission by Jatco, the new Mazda2 with 1.5l Skyactive engine (not
yet available in Europe), and a Volvo V60 D6 AWD (Plug-in Hybrid). In
the truck sector, vehicles include a CNH Magnum CVX, a delivery van
with Chain CVT from developers Gear Chain Industrial, and a platform
with the HyRange Fuel Cell concept by Proton. Transmission Expo 2014
