10. Trends of the Spark Ignition Engine
Production and testing technologies to meet stricter
international standards
CHAIRMAN
Petter Dahlander - Chalmers University
The legislation on emissions and CO2 reduction will
once again be a powerful changing agent for propulsion
systems and it will be the determining factor for
innovation in the traditional internal combustion engines.
The significant reduction of CO2 is now an imperative
no longer derogated.
MAIN TOPICS
-Turbocharging, Downsizing, Rightsizing: where and why?
-The challenges for next fuel injections systems. PFI, GDI or
both?
-The mechanical way: variable compression ratio and valve
train chances
-“Dieselisation” of GDI Engine: more efficiency and more
complexity
-Taylor made or standard SI engines for hybrid and alternative
fuels?

11. Fuel Injection Spray
Key technologies and next challenges
CHAIRMAN
Anand Gandhi - SAE Commitee
One of the most important processes for the optimization
and efficiency of the internal combustion engines is fuel
injection.
The relevance of the injection process depends on many
factors, such as the physical and chemical nature of the
fuel along with the fluid and thermal interaction of the
spray with the in-cylinder airflow.
The coupling of the fuel spray with the flow field of the
combustion chamber significantly affects the quality
and efficiency of the combustion process which is why
optimizing the spray characteristics with the engine
design is paramount.
MAIN TOPICS
-Nozzles and orifice holes: their role in the combustion
optimization process
-The best spray shape for each combustion process
-The right imaging technique for each phenomena
-Spray detection: open issues and future needs

12. Trends of Diesel Engine
Key technologies to reduce emissions
CHAIRMAN
Lucio Postrioti - Università di Perugia
Unquestionably, the compression-ignition engines
are still a very important technology to the spread
of a low CO2-emission mobility.
Unfortunately, the high costs of production and the high
abatement costs of harmful emissions that distinguish
it are making a slow and compromised spread into
the market.
MAIN TOPICS
-The challenge of the Real Driving Emission target
-Diesel engine & hybrid, is it worth?
-Aftertreatment: a problem or a solution?
-Injection system, the next generation
-Light Duty and Heavy Duty: what convergent trends to face
emissions challenge?

13. Electric and Hybrid PWT
Architectures and components in the next mainstream
CHAIRMAN
Federico Caricchi - La Sapienza Università di Roma
In the latest years, the market for electric cars but
especially the hybrid ones made important steps
forward. Electric mobility is certainly a solution to
the reduction of CO2 emissions. However, the energy
accumulation technology still does not appear to be
mature for mass production at reasonable cost and still
does not guarantee sufficient autonomy.
For this reason, a likely scenario indicates the penetration
of new hybrid models on the market. In the near future,
which components will represent the focus of car
manufacturers in order to develop the hybrid system?
MAIN TOPICS
-Challenges and constrains of the next electrification
components
-Test and simulation: open issues and future needs
-The latest and more promising hybrid architectures
-Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles: dream or reality? Technological and
socio-political issues.

14. The way to Autonomous Driving
Autonomous and connected driving technology
CHAIRMAN
Holger Meinel - Auto Radar Expert
Autonomous driving will change our society and the
way to design vehicles, while it will make a long-
awaited dream of mankind come true. There will be a
real revolution of mobility, being a great new input to
innovation in the industry. This is what different experts
are pointing. The necessary technology is mature today
and just a step away from spreading into the market.
MAIN TOPICS
-Radar, Lidar, cameras, maps; which one will win?
-Sensing and processing: how many A.I. will take the decision?
-Testing: virtual vs real environment
-Connectivity and cybersecurity: opportunities and risks
-Regulation and social acceptance: a question of trust!

15. Challenges for the Transmissions
Key technologies and new architectures
CHAIRMAN
David Gagliardi - Oerlikon Graziano
The increasing share of hybrid cars, the need for
efficiency improvement, the requirements of engine
downsizing and the increasingly higher customer
expectations for driveability and performance are only
some of the key factors that are influencing the design
and implementation of new vehicle drive systems.
MAIN TOPICS
-A second life for the manual transmission?
-Beyond 2020: the role of dedicated hybrid transmission
systems
-Electrohydraulic actuation vs the newest electromechanical
solutions
-Priority and trends for the future transmission systems
