Transmissions remain the key to increasing efficiency
8th International CTI Symposium “Innovative Automotive Transmissions
Düsseldorf/Berlin, December 2009. The electrification of the drive train and/or transmission is one of the defining topics in the automotive industry. This year, nearly 50 per cent of the 650 participants at the 8th International CTI Symposium “Innovative Automotive Transmissions” (1 and 2 December 2009, Berlin) indicated in a TED survey that they are intensively involved with this topic. For a further 15.4 per cent of the transmission and drive experts surveyed, electrification is a central or primary topic. Conventional multiple gear transmissions are still regarded by 19.3 per cent of those surveyed as a transmission technology with an electrified future.
CTI honours new talent for the first time with the CTI Young Drive Experts Award at the 8th International CTI Symposium “Innovative Automotive Transmissions”
Düsseldorf/Berlin, December 2009. “Improving the vehicle’s customer-relevant characteristics through automotive transmission systems is the guiding theme running through the research work of the four CTI Young Drive Experts Award winners,” announced Dr. Ferit Küçükay (Technical University Braunschweig) on the occasion of the first new talent award for transmission specialists at the 8th International CTI Symposium “Innovative Automotive Transmissions” (1 and 2 December 2009, in Berlin).
