BPs latest outlook of energy demands to 2040 will be presented with scenarios to meet that energy demand and reduce overall carbon emissions; The forces that shape scenarios for the future and key uncertainties. Lower carbon roadmap options for energy, fuel and lubricant products will be presented, including lubricants designed to enable next generation electric…

The automotive industry as we know it today will not exist in the future. As an industry, we need to get ready for disruptive changes in consumer behavior, product technology and legislation around the world. There is no single solution to the powertrain / propulsion needs of tomorrow.

To achieve a balance between powertrain costs and CO2 emissions, different levels of hybridization have been developed and will exist in parallel on the market for the mid-term future. Dedicated hybrid transmissions (DHT) are embedded in dedicated hybrid powertrains (DHP) which are used in full hybrids (HEV) and some plug-in hybrids (PHEV).

This presentation will take a customer-centric view of electric vehicles. Addressing common misconceptions and sharing the latest research results to help those who are trying to understand and achieve success in the electric-vehicle space.

The presentation starts with an analysis of the most important global markets, e.g. with regard to the share between conventional powertrain, hybrid drivetrain and battery electric drivetrain. The most important markets develop differently.

As a leading global transmission provider, ZFs experience in electrified planetary and dual-clutch transmissions has helped he industry transition to hybrid powertrains. The concept of the new, 4th generation 8HP planetary transmission was first presented at CTI in 2018. Now, two years into development and two years before the SOP, ZF presents an insight into…
