Automotive Transmission Technology is a Future Factor
ROCHESTER, Michigan and DUESSELDORF, Germany, June 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Summary of 7th International CTI Symposium and Exhibition
"Innovative Automotive Transmissions, Hybrid & Electric Drives North America 2013"
May 13 to 16, 2013, Rochester, MI http://bit.ly/CTI_USA
When any important conference is held, it is supported by key expectations. In all the proper dimensions, the 2013 North American Transmission Symposium & Exhibition exceeded the expectations of conference organizer CTI. In terms of attendance, quality of informational sessions and value to participants, this was a remarkable industry event.
380 representatives of industry, the supply base, government and academia gathered at the Royal Park Hotel Engineers from North America, Europe and Asia - 15 countries, in fact! - attested to the reputation of CTI conferences.
Symposium topics demonstrated that transmission and driveline represents a very complex and challenging technology sector. Not only that, with its increasing use of innovative automatic transmissions, hybrid drives and electric drives, this sector is advancing by means of widely differing technologies. It is not consolidating around a single mindset or hardware mechanism. Attendees had generous exposure to 'state of the art' thinking from an industry undergoing rapid change.
Basics & Practice of Automotive Transmissions
The 2-day workshop built a comprehensive refresher for those who wanted to enjoy a deeper insight into the details like powertrain management and TM controls.
Trends & technology
This CTI conference, like the six which have preceded it in North America, was divided into plenary sessions showcasing high level industry directional topics and parallel sessions sharing specific technology applications in view of transmission concepts, transmission & HEV & EV components, functions development, NVH and development tools. Participant´s anticipation were fueled by exhibitor banners in the gallery suggesting themes easily associated with this complex industry:
- The mission is Passion!
- Innovation Worldwide
- Discover the Global Power!
- Small Components; Big Contributions
- Efficiency Through Innovation
On behalf of CTI, Conference Chair Ernie DeVincent of Getrag, noted that this year's conference attendees had traveled to Rochester from the US (73%), Europe (19%), and Asia (5%). Ernie DeVincent pointed out that 2013 participants came from the supplier community (66%), OEMs (11%) and transmission manufacturers (11%). Finally, he described this group as 56% engineering/R&D, 26% marketing/sales and 18% general management.
