Find out what some of our speakers have said about current industry challenges and developments:

"Understanding the role of the internal combustion engine within the electrified powertrain and how the two propulsion systems interact thermally in synergy with each other. The traditional goal of ICE thermal efficiency remains however the duty cycle is changing along with customer expectations. The additional technology gives great opportunity in terms of control optimisation. The challenge is to exploit this opportunities to deliver a cleaner transport solution while meeting the customers demand."
Mitch Hiscock, Performance Engineer, SAIC Motor UK

"In recent years there have been great advances in the thermal management of combustion chambers to optimise combustion performance for increases in specific output, efficiency and to reduce emissions. From priority cooling to top down cooling configurations, developments in this field are taking place at a very fast pace."
George Corfield, Engine Technology Senior Manager, SAIC Motor UK
