Our Powertrain report delves into engines, engine components, engine management systems and transmissions. The report provides news and analysis specific to this segment and discusses strategies evolved by manufacturers of vehicles, engines and transmissions.

Automotive Powertrain also discusses the latest trends in hybrid, fuel cell and hydrogen technologies that are fast developing, driven by environmental pressures globally. As discussions on the latest Environment Protection Agency standards, or the Euro 4 and Euro 5 standards rage on, the need for enhancing engine technologies has never been more urgent.

Engines such as DaimlerChrysler’s powerful new 6.1-litre V8 Hemi that purportedly offers savings in fuel economy of up to 20% and the Lexus IS’s all-new V6 featuring a newly designed fuel injection system and the power booster VVTi are part of a major technological development sweeping the passenger vehicle segment today. Similarly, engines with larger capacity, like the Cummins ISBe; DaimlerChrysler’s next generation 15.6-litre in-line six-cylinder truck engines; International Truck and Engine’s big bore diesel engines; and the 16-litre Volvo D16 equipped with EGR are all part of the crucial strategies deployed by the manufacturers to wake up to new demands placed by the regulators world over. Automotive Powertrain discreetly trains the spotlight on these developments to keep you up to date.

Automotive Powertrain provides both broad macro-economic information as well as detailed focus analysis down to vehicle or component level: there is no better way to stay informed on the latest developments in automotive powertrain globally.
