| The 2006 Transmissions Symposium From 4 to 7 December 2006, transmission experts from all over the world will be meeting in Berlin for the "5th International CTI Symposium Innovative Automotive Transmissions". The programme includes two congress days with ten plenary sessions and nine parallel series of lectures, an introduction and in-depth theoretical day as well as a transmission comparison test drive. Currently, 65 suppliers will be presenting their products at the accompanying Transmission Expo. Transmissions are an increasingly important part of car manufacture: customers are demanding smoother gear changes and a more economical drive while legislators are tightening emissions requirements – a goal which is only to be reached through intelligent transmission solutions. The car industry's transmission concepts in response to these requirements are to be showcased at the 2006 Transmissions Symposium, hosted by the Car Training Institute. More than 70 international speakers will discuss the future of different transmissions concepts at the Symposium under the chairmanship of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ferit Küçükay, Director of the Institute of Automotive Engineering at the Technical University of Braunschweig. International experts will talk about the future development of transmissions at the plenary sessions: areas of application and the focus of development for automatic transmissions will be discussed, as will the technical and commercial efficiency of hybrids and how transmission development can contribute to an efficient driving dynamic. The programme will also include a comparison between parallel hybrid systems for conventional stepped automatic transmissions and dual-clutch transmissions. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Exhibition News :: home page |
