New developments and advancements in transmission technology are necessary as automakers work to meet the standards of future transportation systems. Schaeffler's Philip George, director advanced development; Jeff Hemphill, chief technical officer; and Jitesh Modi, group leader and principal engineer, will discuss the latest transmission concepts and innovations at the 7th International Car Training Institute's (CTi) Innovative Automotive Transmissions, Hybrid & Electric Drives symposium and exhibition held at the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester, Mich. from May 14 to 16.
"The CTi event is a great forum to discuss the latest trends and topics surrounding some of our key development areas, including transmissions, hybrid technology and electric drives," said Hemphill. "Coming together to share best practices and updated research findings is a key component in developing new transmission technologies to meet the upcoming needs of our customers."
During the conference, Modi will discuss Schaeffler's bearing solutions with low friction and weight optimization on Wednesday, May 15 from 4:20 to 5:50 p.m. during the Development Tools and Standardization session. During his "Optimization of Efficiency and Performance of Modern Transmissions Using Low Friction and High Performance Bearing Solutions" presentation, he will review bearing arrangements in modern transmissions for improved efficiency and optimum performance, as well as offer insight on how bearing performance can be enhanced through material technology optimization.
Presenting "The Role of the Automatic Transmission as an Integral Part of a Start-Stop Strategy" on Wednesday, May 15 from 4:40 to 5:20 p.m. in the Cooperation in Transmission Development track, George will review the key challenges of start-stop technology for planetary automatic transmissions. He will also discuss solutions involving high integration and additional functions, and the improved value proposition for start-stop on the U.S. cycle.
Giving an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of automatic, continuously variable and dual-clutch transmissions, Hemphill will present "The Old Technology Fights Back -- A Reconsideration of Competing Transmission Types" on Thursday, May 16 from 11 to 11:30 a.m. in the Reconsideration and Comparison of Transmission Concepts session. The presentation will provide an overview of recent technical improvements in each type of transmission, as well as his insight on the currently competitive landscape and future growth potential in this area.
Created and organized by CTi, the 7th International Innovative Automotive Transmissions, Hybrid and Electronic Drives symposium and exhibition offers an international exchange of experiences and opinions between key automotive representatives. Participants, including OEMs, transmission manufacturers and suppliers from the United States, Europe and Asia, will discuss the latest in technical developments and applications for conventional and alternative drives.
