22nd International AVL Conference 'Engine & Environment'

9th – 10th September, 2010

Helmut-List-Halle, Graz, Austria

The Innovative Internal Combustion Engine in the Context of Powertrain Electrification - a Major Key to Long-Term CO2 Reduction?

Although the trend towards electrification of the powertrain is in full swing, the automotive industry continues to invest heavily in the development of innovative gasoline and diesel engines whose potential is by no means exhausted. The question therefore arises whether the IC engine will play an important role, not only in the short and medium term, but also in the long term, as the power plant for high-volume automobiles. A CO2 reduction of the high-volume powertrain is of paramount importance since, in the medium term, niche solutions such as the electric vehicle will probably not achieve sufficient market penetration to provide a positive impact on the environment.

Exploration of the potential of IC engine powertrains will be a major topic of our conference. Additionally, developments necessary to enable current niche solutions to enter the high-volume market will also be discussed.

Amongst others, the following issues will be addressed at “Engine & Environment” 2010:

IC engine innovations
Scale effects through volume solutions: rather 90% solutions for 100% of the vehicles than 100% solutions for 10% of the vehicles?
Optimisation of the IC engine as the strategy of major OEMs for the next 20 years
Ecology, economics of different technologies
Transition scenarios: from niche to high-volume
Is hybrid already high-volume?
The battery as obstacle or chance on the way to the high-volume electric drive?
Electric vehicles with and without range extenders
Software: the key to innovation
The transmission as system enabler, etc.
