    • Base-engine value engineering for higher fuel efficiency and enhanced performance
      Continuous improvement in existing engines can be efficiently achieved with a value engineering approach. The integration of product development with value engineering ensures the achievement of specified targets in a systematic manner and within a defined timeframe.
    • Integrated system engineering for valvetrain design and development of a high-speed diesel engine
      The lead time for engine development has reduced significantly with the advent of advanced simulation techniques.
    • Cars poised to become 'a thing'
      Making automobiles part of the Internet of Things brings both risks and rewards.
    • Agility training for cars
      Chassis component suppliers refine vehicle dynamics at the high end and entry level with four-wheel steering and adaptive damping.
    • Evaluating thermal design of construction vehicles
      CFD simulation is used to evaluate two critical areas that address challenging thermal issues: electronic control units and hot-air recirculation.
    • Clutchless hybrid transmission concept for high-performance cars
    • Perkins takes modular approach to new Syncro 2.8- and 3.6-L engines
    • Ground testing begins on the GE9X
    • V-CR, water injection, new EGR methods top SAE engines symposium
    • Next-gen electronic controls: Open source, scalable and integrated
