SAE World Congress & Exhibition Technical Session Schedule As of 04/20/2008 07:40 pm Monday, April 14 The Other Half of Powertrain: How will New Transmission and Driveline Technologies Influence Consumer Buying Decisions? Session Code: ANN200 Room FEV Powertrain Innovation Forum Session Time: 10:30 a.m. Customer demand, based on increased fuel costs, and impending government regulations on fuel economy and CO2 reduction has increased the development of higher efficiency powertrains. While the combustion side of the equation may receive more public attention, the efficiency gains from new transmissions and driveline components are just as important. The panel will discuss these new developments and how they integrate with new engine technology to provide higher fuel economy and at the same time better driveability.

Matthes, President & General Mgr, Transmission Sys, BorgWarner Inc.; Wolfgang Reik, Exec VP, LuK Group R&D, Adv Dev Schaeffler Group Automotive; Heribert Scherer, Sr Manager Design, Car Transmissions Div, ZF Getriebe GmbH; Philip Yuhasz, Engineering Director - TDE, Ford Motor Co.; Monday, April 14 Where's the Rub? How Far Can We Go with Low Friction Concepts and What Will They Bring? Session Code: ANN204 Room FEV Powertrain Innovation Forum Session Time: 1:30 p.m. The search for higher efficiency in powertrains and drivelines has always included the reduction of friction in the system. However, this area is receiving more attention since some of the larger efficiency gains that were possible have already been implemented into production vehicles. The group of experts will describe some of the most promising concepts and outline how much each will aid in achieving grater overall system efficiency. Moderators - Floyd E.
