Developments in Transmission and Driveline Technology explores the evolution of technology and what is required to meet ever-increasing emissions targets.

Picking up from previous driveline events that have led the way in ground-breaking developments, this seminar will not only address transmission strategies for passenger cars, but also new concepts for heavy duty and off-highway vehicles, providing you with a full spectrum of knowledge on all automotive machines.

Meet representatives of OEMs, driveline suppliers and the new electronic control systems experts that now play such an integral role in automotive transmission and develop your powertrain industry of engines, drivelines and gearboxes.

Key Topics Include:

- Fuel consumption in passenger cars
- Transmissions improvements
- Driveability
- Cost efficiency
- Advanced transmission systems
- Hybridisation
- Powertrain design and arrangement
- Selecting the right powertrain
- Real world drive cycles
- Automatic and manual gearboxes
- Flywheel technologies

The full agenda is now available to download. Key speakers include:

• Mark Stanton, Director Vehicle Engineering, Jaguar Land Rover

• Jérôme Mortal, Chief Engineer - Transmissions, Driveline & Powertrain Systems, Jaguar Land Rover

• Vladimir Vantsevich, Director, Vehicle & Robotics Engineering Laboratory, University of Alabama

• Jonathan Horsley, Lead Technologist - Low Carbon Vehicles Innovation Platform, Innovate UK
