Vehicle manufacturers, transmissions suppliers and the whole supply-chain are presenting and discussing latest technology and trends.The future of drivetrain for vehicles will become very exciting. The number of electrified drivetrains will be growing in future. Things will get more complex with a hybrid drive and packages will be much more challenging. Therefore we are keen to find intelligent solutions. Furthermore we will face significant changes. The following megatrends are going to have big impact on future drivelines and on the whole value chain:• more and more challenging regulations to reduce environmental pollution caused by traffic,• the need for electrification of drivetrain in terms of hybrids and electric vehicles,• the understanding of the drivetrain system as an overall approach,• high pressure fo...}, edition = {1}, publisher = {VDI Verlag}, address = {Düsseldorf}, series = {VDI-Berichte}, volume = {2276}, editor = {VDI Wissensforum GmbH} }
