Analysis of Trends in Engines
Analysis of Trends in Engines examines energy availability, emission regulations, and technological advances to assess the future of global vehicle powertrains with an emphasis on sustainable mobility.
Summary
What you’ll be able to do
Use past and present regulatory drivers to assess the impact of future regulatory trends on engine developments
Determine the market-by-market availability and development of non-petroleum fuels and assess how those developments can impact engine design and marketing both at the macro and the micro scale
Evaluate technology developments that achieve compliance with regulatory demands and support customer performance and efficiency requirements
Formulate a framework for selecting technology related to powertrain architectures, sub-systems, and components for specific applications
Evaluate market requirements for powertrain configurations and features, generating a family of engine variants to satisfy customer needs over a range of applications and sectors
Generate a coherent powertrain production lifecycle plan that balances the drivers and constraints of the multi-objective criteria covered by the course
