questions for … … Prof. Peter Gutzmer Champion makers and Matthias Zink From small stickers to full vehicle branding – Schaeffler has been progressively extending its DTM commitment over the past 30 years. Success in racing has proved the company right As far back as in the 1980s, DTM cars were racing with stickers of Schaeffler’s LuK brand and since 2011, an Audi fully wrapped in Schaeffler’s colors has been attracting attention. What’s the objective The beginnings that drives this commitment? The logo of Schaeffler’s LuK product brand is featured on ’s racing suit and car, among others. In Peter Gutzmer: “Schaeffler has always been an the first event, at Zolder in 1986, the Danish rookie innovation driver. About three decades ago, we races from second on the grid to victory. At the end of extended our commitment from the factories to the season, Thiim even wins the title. In the following the race tracks in a manner of speaking in order to DTM years, the LuK, INA and FAG logos can be seen on many other cars of the Alpina, Audi, BMW, Ford, present our brands in the competitive environment Mercedes-Benz and Opel marques and on the racing of motorsport. Many cars not only in the DTM but suits of their drivers. also in other motorsport disciplines such as rally racing were emblazoned with logos of Schaeffler’s LuK, FAG and INA. Today, we’re communicating our brand values in motorsport under the ‘One Schaeffler’ theme. In addition, motorsport not only reflects the competitiveness of our products, but Prof. Peter Gutzmer (right), Deputy Chief also strengthens the skills of our young engineers Executive Officer and Chief Technology who increasingly often join us with experience Officer of Schaeffler AG, and Matthias Zink, from the Formula Student engineering design CEO Automotive of Schaeffler AG, 2011 in an interview competition.” Triumph in Schaeffler’s colors For the 2011 season, Schaeffler concentrates its commitments and Talking about technology transfer: The technologies in race cars and production becomes the naming sponsor of a full race car of Audi Sport Team automobiles are frequently not so far apart from each other.

In all ten races of the season, the Bavarian driver claims a place in the top five, celebrating what’s essential and require our engineers to deliver feasible solutions at a fixed point in three victories in the process. At the end of the season, he scores the title time. In addition, motorsport promotes team spirit. All this is beneficial for Schaeffler’s daily win. The whole Schaeffler Group is the champion in its DTM debut year. work as a globally active automotive and industrial supplier as well.”

As an official technology partner of Team Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler you are active in the Formula E electric racing series as well. This is a totally different field particularly in terms of the type of powertrain. IC engines and electric mobility – how do these two fit together 2013 in a portfolio in your case? Repeating the feat Peter Gutzmer: “Electric mobility is our future but, this said, electric mobility is the future of In the 2013 season, the Schaeffler campaigner’s name is Mike Rockenfeller. In the IC engine as well. As many studies have shown, we’re not going to achieve the envisioned just his second race, at Brands Hatch, he celebrates his first victory that season targets by 2050 with purely battery-based electrification. Looking at it from the perspective and takes the lead of the standings. Victory number two, at Moscow, produces an early decision in Rocky’s favor in the title race with BMW driver Bruno of total systems, this will only be possible if we create CO2-neutral energy carriers using Spengler.

These belt-driven start- er-generators make it possible to recuperate braking energy to be stored in small, cost-effec- tive lithium-ion batteries. The recovered energy can be used to restart the engine in start-stop or in coasting modes and to boost acceleration. To enable the dynamic alternation between var- ious operating modes, Schaeffler, among oth- er things, developed an electrically operated active belt tensioner. With these technologies Schaeffler expects that an efficiency increase Electromechanical camshaft adjusters of gasoline engines to 45 percent is realistic. offer higher adjustment speeds than That would raise it to the level of modern diesel hydraulic systems into the future units. Efficiently An important aspect of looking at efficiency is that Schaeffler goes beyond the consumption of In the medium term, 70 percent of all newly registered vehicles – hybrid models included – will have the powertrain, instead considering the entire an IC engine on board, according to a forecast by a Schaeffler scenario for 2030.
