    • Autonomous vehicles: impact on society
      Self-driving technology offers plenty of promise, but not everything about autonomous vehicles will be a panacea.
    • Crankshaft reliability by integrated design, simulation, and testing
      This testing method is proven and beneficial for the design and development of the crankshaft and could be applied to other critical engine components, thereby extending to system reliability.
    • New Engines 2016
      Highlighting the design, engineering, and technologies inside some of the most competitive gasoline and light-duty diesel ICEs.
    • Touch and go
      Avionics developments are changing life in the cockpit and at airborne work stations.
    • Improving heavy-duty engine component efficiencies
      Cylinder deactivation can improve fuel economy by using a reduced number of cylinders that operate at higher loads and thermal efficiency, while other cylinders are turned off, when the engine operates at partial load conditions. A switching roller finger follower is one of the technologies that help make it work.
