events Anniversary Conference “Engine & Environment” 2013 THE CONECTED POWERTR AIN Interaction of Mechanics & Softwa re, Vehicle, Driver and the Environment The 25th AVL „Engine & Environment“ congress will take place in the Helmut-List- Halle in Graz on the 5th and 6th of September, 2013. The congress will be dedicated to modern powertrain concepts in the context of increasing connectivity. 1 7 F o c u s Photos: AVL a multitude of questions: how should the powertrain be configured to optimally make use of the plethora of data available within the powertrain and also take full advantage of the additional data originating externally? How can vehicle operation with low emissions and optimized fuel consumption be enabled and further enhanced? What form will the sub-systems in future connected powertrains take, and how can they be optimized? How can drivability and operational comfort be optimized in order to guarantee customer acceptance? These and many more questions will be examined by international experts. Information, registration and appdownload at: www.avl.com/engine- environment-2013; event@avl.com < 7TH AVL INT. COMMERCIAL POWERTR AIN CONFERENCE 2013 The 7th AVL International Commercial Powertrain Conference will be held on May 22/23, 2013 at the Helmut-List-Halle in Graz, Austria. The conference is globally unique and focuses jointly on heavy-duty vehicles, agricultural tractors and construction equipment. It is an important information platform and an attractive forum for the exchange on topics relating to strategies and technologies. The 2013 ICPC conference is entirely dedicated to CO2 reduction. As a result, the scope of topics addressed is very broad: market trends, combustion engine optimization with hybrid drive systems, waste heat recovery systems, auxiliary power units, transportation logistics, driver assistance systems and active powertrain control considering the current driving situation, future transmission technologies, electrification of drive systems and farm implements in agricultural machinery, increases in efficiency in construction equipment by system optimization with new powertrain solutions and many more. Information and registration at www.avl.com/icpc < Connectivity is a key topic for the future in many spheres, and this is also true for automotive technology. The vehicle of tomorrow will communicate with the environment, making efficient, accidentfree and perhaps even autonomous driving possible. The powertrains of tomorrow’s vehicles will also be connected; not only will they communicate with the environment (e.g. the driver, other vehicles, and the road infrastructure), but also the connectivity and optimized interaction of all powertrain sub-systems such as the engine, transmission, e-machine, battery and various control systems will become increasingly important. The developers of future powertrains need to answer ENGINE & ENVIRONMENT > Demonstrator vehicles with pioneering AVL technologies at the 2012 conference “Engine & Environment“.
