The green circle marks the location of an infrared sensor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Investigating e-motor thermals as a result of free-surface flow cooling strategies has long been a complex, laborious effort. We demonstrate a novel simulation method \u2013 Mesh-Particle Multiphysics (MPX) \u2013 which can provide high-fidelity insights from a single simulation run.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Johannes Becker,<\/strong> Dive CAE<br \/>\n<strong>Liam Pek,<\/strong> Dive CAE<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Automotive drivetrain electrification presents major challenges to engineering teams, as performance, thermal, weight, and packaging requirements drive the need for increasingly efficient and power-dense designs. At the same time, global supply chain volatility drives the need for high-performance motors that do not rely on rare-earth magnets to enable domestic manufacturing and strengthen industrial resilience.<\/p>\n<p>The primary objectives of drivetrain prototyping are to validate performance, efficiency, durability, and system integration before moving to production. Prototypes for e-motors undergo thorough load testing on test rigs and in demonstrator vehicles to confirm structural and thermal stability under expected real-world and extreme conditions. Insufficient cooling and lubrication leading to prototype failure results in costly iterative rework or even changes to the underlying system architecture, significantly impacting time-to-market.<\/p>\n<p>While virtual testing of lubrication and cooling performance via simulation has been industry standard for years, it is often done in isolated domains, as workflows to combine particle-based simulations used for oil flow analysis and structural thermal simulations often involving multiple solvers and laborious processing steps that require deep numerical expertise. A novel solution to this problem, Mesh-Particle Multiphysics (MPX), enables single-run analyses of free-surface flow lubrication and cooling strategies including full conjugate heat transfer (CHT) through structural elements with timescale coupling. Leveraging the strengths of Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) for the fluid dynamics of jet, spray, or sump cooling, and the Finite Element Method (FEM) for heat propagation through structures in one unified solver architecture reduces complexity and can reduce time-to-result in e-motor studies from weeks to hours.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9530\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ctijet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"758\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ctijet.jpg 758w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ctijet-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px\" \/><br \/>\nThe ORBIS ELECTRIC HaloDrive is an axial-flux electric motor architecture with a wide range of applications across industries, including as an in-wheel motor for passenger EV or commercial vehicle propulsion. Depending on the intended application, it supports different cooling strategies optimized for the expected load cycles, operational environment, and TCO.<\/p>\n<p>Using Dive\u2019s MPX, we investigate thermal performance of rotor cooling, comparing a passively cooled rotor as a baseline case with multiple intensities of active jet cooling, axially applied to the rotor. Jet cooling is confirmed to reduce rotor temperature at the position of a radial infrared sensor (see green circle) by up to 22% after 100 seconds of runtime at 1,500 rpm. While the 5m\/s jet configuration reaches steady-state temperatures after about 70 seconds of runtime, both 10 and 15m\/s jet configurations stabilize around 30 seconds into the test, with diminishing returns of going beyond 10m\/s.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, results for this study were obtained in a single afternoon \u2013 requiring less than one hour of simulation pre-processing and four to five hours (depending on flow rate) of simulation time. Executing thermal studies on complex free-surface flow phenomena enables simulation-driven design that produces advanced cooling strategies which are well-validated and understood before going into a physical prototype.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><br \/>\n\u203a HaloDrive model provided by ORBIS ELECTRIC. <strong>www.orbiselectric.com\/halodrive<\/strong><br \/>\n\u203a Mesh-Particle Multiphysics (MPM).<strong> www.divecae.com\/technology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/article><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <div class=\"post-wrapper shadow rounded-2xl bg-white\">\n        <article class=\"post relative\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" data-id=\"9517\" data-categories=\"[23,22,8,16]\">\n    <div class=\"post-body\" itemprop=\"articleBody\">\n                        <div class=\"article-image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/interview-our-future-hybrids-are-designed-to-fit-in-all-current-bev-platforms\/\" title=\"Interview \u201cOur Future Hybrids are Designed to Fit in All Current BEV Platforms\u201d\" target=\"_blank\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mx-auto rounded-t-2xl\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/artikel_scholten-768x432.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                        <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"article-content p-6 prose prose-sm max-w-none\">\n            <h2 class=\"mt-0 text-base leading-snug\"><a class=\"font-semibold\" href=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/interview-our-future-hybrids-are-designed-to-fit-in-all-current-bev-platforms\/\" title=\"Interview \u201cOur Future Hybrids are Designed to Fit in All Current BEV Platforms\u201d\">Interview \u201cOur Future Hybrids are Designed to Fit in All Current BEV Platforms\u201d<\/a><\/h2>\n            <time class=\"post-date\" style=\"font-size: 12px; display: block;\" datetime=\"2026-08-07T07:39:04Z\" itemprop=\"datePublished\">\n                Posted on 7th August 2026\n            <\/time>\n                            <p>Ingo Scholten, CTO, Horse Powertrain In addition to dedicated hybrid transmissions, Horse Powertrain also supplies dedicated combustion engines and complete drive modules.

At the 28th CTI Symposium in Berlin last December, we spoke to Ingo Scholten, CTO of Horse Powertrain, about developments in current and future hybrid technology.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mr. Scholten, Horse Powertrain has a broad portfolio of hybrid drives, but also produces its own dedicated hybrid engines and ICEs. That\u2019s unusual<br \/>\nfor a Tier 1 supplier \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is. There used to be a lot of \u2018transmission-only\u2019 suppliers for manual transmissions, automatics etcetera. But usually, OEMs made their engines and dedicated hybrid transmissions, or DHTs, in-house. Now we offer both \u2013 as a system supplier. That makes us quite special to our partners. Instead of just components, we can also offer entire drive systems \u2013 plus full integration support, including topics like emissions and homologation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are customers asking for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Firstly and naturally, we still make drives for Geely and Renault, our parent companies. The Renault E-Tech hybrid, for instance, is now in its third generation. For Mercedes, we supply a 1.5-liter combustion engine for mild hybrids. In China, we\u2019re developing our dual-motor DHTs, which now use dual-shaft transmissions instead of planetary gearing in earlier years. And we\u2019re talking to other customers in Europe and the US. The demand there for full hybrids is even stronger than in China, but they also want PHEVs. We are discussing range extenders more and more, too. In China, it\u2019s mostly long-range PHEVs with a parallel option; they have big traction motors, and drive like EVs. In Europe, drivers still use manual transmissions so multi speed system are accepted even in combination with electrification. But in China, multi-speed transmissions can be a problem because customers there expect an EV driving experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dual-motor hybrid drives are gaining ground. When do you use serial-only, and when is serial-parallel better?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For maximum efficiency, including on highways and rural roads, you\u2019d normally use serial-parallel \u2013 mostly P1 and P3. A serial-only drive would cost you 4-5% in efficiency. Parallel or multi-speed transmissions are better for higher tractive force requirements. P2 still has its place for small vehicles in segments A or B. And if you already have an all-wheel-drive system with an electric rear axle, P2 is fine there too; you don\u2019t really need a hybrid drive with two electric motors in the front then. P2 can also work when OEMs design vehicles as \u2018BEV native\u2019 or \u2018BEV first\u2019, respectively. Space is limited, so a P2 with a single electric motor can be practical when a market needs a hybrid variant of the BEV.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking at P1\/P3 hybrids, we\u2019re seeing solutions with a single fixed gear, and solutions with two, three, or four gears. What do you think will prevail?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When markets want cars that \u2018drive like a BEV\u2019, it makes sense to have fewer gears. Often, just one is enough. For high towing capacity, you can use multiple gears to modulate tractive force. When customers ask us for advice, we often recommend either a large traction motor with one fixed gear or a powertrain with four gears and a smaller traction motor. As I mentioned, Renault has a successful solution that\u2019s now in its third generation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Many OEMs still need two vehicle platforms; others are moving to \u2018BEV first\u2019 and using a BEV platform for hybrids, too. What\u2019s your approach?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s currently one of our main topics, as I showed in my presentation here at CTI. Some vehicles still use traditional hybrid architectures, which require certain compromises; others use BEV-only architectures. A hybrid drive with one or two electric motors requires more space than an ICE-only drive, whereas a BEV drive requires much less. So, if you optimize a vehicle\u2019s front end for BEV, the installation space is shorter and, above all, narrower. The subframe mountings are configured differently, the drive shafts sometimes go in front of the axle. And then a traditional hybrid drive won\u2019t fit. You need a hybrid drive design that fits within a BEV vehicle architecture without requiring OEMs to compromise their BEV optimization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which of your products meet that requirement?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Firstly, there\u2019s our highly compact HORSE G10 for range extenders. It has a two-cylinder boxer engine with a compact pushrod design and a generator mounted directly on the crankshaft. Then we developed the HORSE C15, a range extender as well. This can be installed either vertically or horizontally. And then we have the Future Hybrid System, which is available in P2 or P1\/P3. According to our research, it fits most of the dedicated BEV platforms currently available. So, if European customers with a BEV-first approach want a hybrid derivative for their platform, they can use these powertrains while still meeting all the BEV crash-test requirements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You also offer dedicated hybrid combustion engines. What are their thermal efficiencies, and how much more is possible?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are in production with over 44 percent break thermal efficiency. And those are figures from engineering, not marketing. We\u2019re aiming for 49-50 percent. But to get there, we need to implement a few more technologies \u2013 for instance, lean combustion. We also then need to design exhaust systems that won\u2019t significantly increase overall system costs. On the other hand, ICE dynamics are lower in serial operation, so that simplifies exhaust after-treatment to a certain extent. For tomorrow\u2019s lean-burn engines, the key is to keep lambda above 2.2 as much as possible so after-treatment doesn\u2019t get too complex.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you rate the potential of synthetic fuels in terms of lower CO2 emissions?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nobody expects all the markets to switch to synthetic fuels in the short term. But it could well be a gradual process. In five years\u2019 time, maybe we could add five percent of synthetic fuels, then later fifteen percent, or twenty. The really good thing is that you can reduce CO\u2082 across your whole existing fleet. Methanol is another field in which Geely is working. They started selling methanol engines in 2013. Originally, these were 100 percent methanol, designed for taxi fleets in regions where methanol was basically a by-product of coal mining. But now they\u2019re working with biomethanol and trying to create a circular economy there. At last year\u2019s Vienna Motor Symposium, Geely presented onboard CO\u2082 capture for trucks, for example. Some innovations are just getting started, but we\u2019re already seeing potential here and there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The EU Commission has just reopened the window slightly for combustion engines after 2035. What do political decisions like this mean for Horse Powertrain?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>None of our products is specifically designed for Europe. Our product strategy is very broad, with products we use in the European market, Brazil, India, and elsewhere. So, in terms of capacities and defining technical requirements, decisions about the time after 2035 don\u2019t affect us that much. As a globally operating company, we offer solutions that can meet the requirements of various and changing markets.<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/article><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <div class=\"post-wrapper shadow rounded-2xl bg-white\">\n        <article class=\"post relative\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" data-id=\"9513\" data-categories=\"[23,22,8,16]\">\n    <div class=\"post-body\" itemprop=\"articleBody\">\n                        <div class=\"article-image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/ai-can-make-good-engineers-even-better\/\" title=\"AI can make Good Engineers even Better\" target=\"_blank\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mx-auto rounded-t-2xl\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Zampieri_005-768x432.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\">\n                        <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"article-content p-6 prose prose-sm max-w-none\">\n            <h2 class=\"mt-0 text-base leading-snug\"><a class=\"font-semibold\" href=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/ai-can-make-good-engineers-even-better\/\" title=\"AI can make Good Engineers even Better\">AI can make Good Engineers even Better<\/a><\/h2>\n            <time class=\"post-date\" style=\"font-size: 12px; display: block;\" datetime=\"2026-08-03T14:08:29Z\" itemprop=\"datePublished\">\n                Posted on 3rd August 2026\n            <\/time>\n                            <p>At the CTI Symposium 2025 in Novi, Luca Zampieri, Engineering Director US at Neural Concept, gave a presentation on \u201cEngineering Intelligence Driving the Future of Powertrain Development\u201d.

We spoke with him about how engineers and the products they design can benefit from using AI engineering software.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luca, what can Neural Concept do for the automotive industry? What is your product?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At Neural Concept, we develop AI software that accelerates the engineering process. Our idea is to connect and speed up the internal workflow, all the way from design to manufacturing. Our platform allows you to stay connected to today&#8217;s workflows \u2013 moving back and forth with your current tool stack \u2013 while also leveraging new technology and big data: state-of-the-art algorithms and computing infrastructure, all in a single environment. That&#8217;s what we offer the automotive industry: faster, better design and engineering processes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So far, AI has remained a rather abstract topic for many engineers. To begin with, what are the milestones in AI history that led to today&#8217;s capabilities in powertrain development?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It goes back to the first AI revolution, which was about statistics and optimization \u2013 Gaussian processes, traditional machine learning. But today we focus more on what came after the advent of deep learning: convolutional networks \u2013 which scan and compress visual data into patterns a model can learn from \u2013 and transformers, which let a model weigh the relevance of different parts of an input against each other. A key milestone was the creation of surrogates predicting physics as well as displaying generative capabilities for 3D shapes. These technologies matter greatly for powertrain development. And now we also use large language models, also powered by transformers, for an agentic control and consumption of the platform.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does your platform learn the patterns for engineering requirements \u2013 through integration with common engineering tools?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Exactly. Our platform includes such tools and interfaces. But the main idea is to access the whole workflow, from design and conception through to manufacturing, removing the bottlenecks along the way. One such bottleneck is generative modeling, or surrogacy \u2013 the idea of replacing a physical simulation with a learned model that approximates it much faster. For some applications, we provide pre-trained models that come with their own data. For most others, we provide an agentic framework to create your own surrogates as well as automations to collect and label data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does that mean \u2013 this is a huge amount of knowledge you need. How do you train this as a user, as an engineer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a physical surrogate, you don&#8217;t need much knowledge as a user, because everything is already set up. What you need is data and your engineering knowledge. We work with small amounts of data because it&#8217;s essential to focus only on what matters to you. By default, engineers tend to replicate the full simulation output simply because that&#8217;s what they are used to seeing. But most of the time, what matters is only part of that output \u2013 and capturing just that part is often much easier, and requires far less data, than reproducing the whole simulation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Isn&#8217;t there a risk that engineers lose expertise and creativity by being assisted by an AI engineering assistant?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s one versus the other. The question is how the product designer can leverage simulation to better judge when a design is a good one. The engineer still needs all of the expertise. Andrej Karpathy, founding member of OpenAI and former Tesla Autopilot AI director, once said that you can outsource your thinking to AI models, but not your understanding. The same applies here:<\/p>\n<p>these tools can help the expert gain even more expertise, because quick feedback lets you better understand the physical phenomena behind your design. Today, engineers spend much of their time on repetitive, low-skilled tasks, leaving less time to focus on the depth of the problem. Our AI tools allow them to focus fully on the problem they&#8217;re actually trying to solve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let&#8217;s assume I&#8217;m a designer working with your tool. Do I use natural language to communicate with the agent?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s one option. A lot of knowledge lives in natural language, so you can interact a great deal through text. But you can also interact naturally \u2013 clicking, moving, manipulating the interface \u2013 so it&#8217;s not only text. Just as a picture is worth a thousand words, I&#8217;d say an interactive interface is worth a thousand pictures. If I needed to explain something to you, I&#8217;d probably sketch it. We encourage sketching because it conveys design intent far better. The goal is for you to convey your design intent to the machine, and natural language is just one way of doing that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What benefits does your AI software offer in terms of time savings, accuracy, performance, or quality?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The accuracy of the AI matters less than you&#8217;d expect. What matters is how fast you can design something, and how much better a design you can find. We often say AI is a thousand times faster than simulation \u2013 but that figure alone is meaningless. What matters is how much faster you reach the final result, and that depends heavily on the workflow and the product. It&#8217;s usually a trade-off between speed and performance. We&#8217;ve seen products designed in three days instead of three months. We&#8217;ve seen performance double. And we&#8217;ve sometimes seen performance improve by just one percent \u2013 which can still be extremely impactful. In powertrain development specifically, we typically target performance gains of around 10 to 15 percent, and time savings of about a quarter of the original development time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You also spoke about combining parametric and non-parametric development methods. What would be an example in the development of an electric powertrain?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s both parametric and non-parametric \u2013 think of parametric as a design defined by a fixed set of adjustable variables, like the dimensions of a known shape, and non-parametric as a free-form shape with no such constraints. It&#8217;s also a case of combining new technology with old. Manufacturing teams use CAD, while newer techniques let you explore a much richer, more organic design space. But hand manufacturing teams something too organic, and they&#8217;ll push back. So the idea is to use traditional parametric methods with CAD where that makes sense, and non-parametric freedom where it&#8217;s needed \u2013 and to keep both connected to the tools used today, adopting new ones only where they add value. If we think about an e-motor, for example, the aim is to increase performance while reducing noise and vibration. In this case, you might want the magnet shape to remain parametric, but the air pockets to be non-parametric and organic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You also mentioned so-called world models. What&#8217;s their relevance to automotive powertrain development?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A world model is one trained on enough data that the usual distinction between \u201cin-distribution\u201d and \u201cout-of-distribution\u201d data \u2013 cases the model has and hasn&#8217;t effectively seen before \u2013 no longer applies; the whole domain you want to explore falls within what it can predict. That doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s a fully generic physical model. Building a robust world model requires considerably more data, and its accuracy is typically lower than that of a specialized model built close to the specific design you&#8217;re examining. For heat exchangers, for instance, world models generalize well across many configurations. For e-motors, though, it makes more sense to combine a world model with a specialized model close to the design being explored to get better accuracy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Generative AI, as many of us use it in daily life, tends to produce answers at all costs, even when it combines facts incorrectly. How do you avoid such reasoning errors in engineering?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s essential to validate whatever the AI model produces. In engineering, optimization happens under constraints \u2013 and if you&#8217;re good at optimizing, you&#8217;ll very likely produce a result that violates some rule you hadn&#8217;t specified, whether a manufacturing limit or a physical consideration from another department. That&#8217;s why validation is so important. When using AI for design and optimization, it doesn&#8217;t really matter if the model hallucinates, because in the end, you&#8217;ll have a set of optimal results to cross-reference and verify.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To put it bluntly, could one say that the role of developers is thus shifting more toward that of a highly qualified supervisor?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think engineers already work this way; they&#8217;ll simply do more of it. Designers from other departments already bring designs that engineers need to check and adjust. Here, that process is streamlined, and validation itself can be automated \u2013 not as fast as AI, but AI helps automate it, so you don&#8217;t need to spend time on it manually. You can automatically trigger higher-fidelity tests instead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does working with your tools change the prospects of engineers?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It changes them considerably. Skills like tool use and repetitive work become less important. But creativity and a deep understanding of the product you&#8217;re working on \u2013 already the hallmark of a good designer or engineer \u2013 will matter even more tomorrow. The good designers and engineers will become even better; the weaker ones risk becoming obsolete.<\/p>\n<p>Interview: Gernot Goppelt<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/article><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"text-center mt-12\">\n        <div class=\"load-more\">\n                <button\n    class=\"\n    bg-primary hover:bg-primary-600 focus:bg-primary-600 active:bg-primary-700 \n    px-[1em] py-[0.5em] \n    text-base \n    text-white \n    font-normal \n    border-none\n    rounded-full\n    inline-flex items-center transition duration-150 ease-in-out focus:outline-none focus:ring-0 \n    \"\n    >\n    Load more&#8230;\n  <\/button>\n            <div class=\"spinner hidden\">\n                <div\n  class=\"inline-block text-primary h-8 w-8 animate-spin rounded-full border-4 border-solid border-current border-r-transparent align-[-0.125em] motion-reduce:animate-[spin_1.5s_linear_infinite]\"\n  role=\"status\">\n  <span\n    class=\"!absolute !-m-px !h-px !w-px !overflow-hidden !whitespace-nowrap !border-0 !p-0 ![clip:rect(0,0,0,0)]\"\n    >Loading&#8230;<\/span\n  >\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull cti-attention is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:3rem;padding-bottom:3rem\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#039da7;margin-right:0;margin-left:0;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;grid-template-columns:67% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/us\/cfp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/cti_us.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13748 size-full\" style=\"object-position:0% 100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/cti_us.jpg 860w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/cti_us-300x133.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/cti_us-768x341.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(1.119rem, 1.119rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.789), 1.75rem);font-weight:900;text-transform:uppercase\">CTI Symposium USA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5rem\">11 &amp; 12 May 2027, Novi, MI, USA<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"cti-block-buttons has-text-align-left has-custom-content-position is-position-center-center flex flex-wrap items-center gap-4 is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-acf-buttons-is-layout-8e1ff436 wp-block-acf-buttons-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:1.5rem;margin-bottom:1.5rem;\" >\n    \n<div class=\"cti-block-button not-prose\" >\n        <a\n    class=\"\n    bg-secondary hover:bg-secondary-600 focus:bg-secondary-600 active:bg-secondary-700 \n    px-[1em] py-[0.5em] \n    text-base leading-normal \n    text-white \n    font-normal \n    border-none\n    rounded-full\n    inline-flex items-center transition duration-150 ease-in-out focus:outline-none focus:ring-0 \n    \"\n    href=\"https:\/\/cti-symposium.world\/us\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n    More \n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE PREMIER INTERNATIONAL EVENT FOR THE FUTURE OF DRIVETRAINS AND MOBILITY Global competition, geopolitical shifts, and diverging market dynamics are transforming the automotive industry at unprecedented speed.
