Join us for the second SIMpulse event on the topic of the internal combustion engine (ICE), where you will again experience exciting presentations and discussions on the future of the ICE and how simulation can help shape it.
Electric vehicle sales fell significantly short of expectations last year. This prompted OEMs to intensify their innovations in the field of combustion engines. From hybrid systems in passenger cars to advanced diesel engines for trucks and off-road vehicles, to hydrogen propulsion for commercial vehicles and ammonia and methanol as new fuels for deep-sea shipping – the ICE continues to evolve.
While the OEMs' development strategies for powertrains and combustion engines differ, they all share a clear common goal: increase efficiency, reduce harmful pollutants and emissions, and deliver sustainable solutions quickly and at manageable cost.
At this SIMpulse, we will show how simulation can help developing new combustion engine technologies cost- and time-efficiently. Our experts analyze market trends, address real-world development challenges, and present simulation tools and methods in practice. Take part in this dynamic and interactive event about the virtual development of future combustion engines and get answers directly from the experts.
