IMechE: Can Green Be Fast and Fun? Implementing Low Carbon Technologies in High Performance Vehicles

Add to Calendar 2014-11-06 2014-11-06 Europe/London IMechE: Can Green Be Fast and Fun? Implementing Low Carbon Technologies in High Performance Vehicles
The very nature of HPVs is controversial in the face of global warming and the ongoing assault on “gas guzzling” vehicles and their CO2 emissions. Implementing Low-Carbon Technologies in High Performance Vehicles will therefore address this conundrum, and will aim to demonstrate that it is possible to still drive SUVs and performance cars without the stigma of people perceiving them to be bad for the environment, compared to other cars.  In addition, the seminar will provide positive solutions that can be applied to the mainstream automotive market that will benefit the entire industry.

Description:

The very nature of HPVs is controversial in the face of global warming and the ongoing assault on “gas guzzling” vehicles and their CO2 emissions. 
 
Implementing Low-Carbon Technologies in High Performance Vehicles will therefore address this conundrum, and will aim to demonstrate that it is possible to still drive SUV's and performance cars without the stigma of people perceiving them to be bad for the environment, compared to other cars.  In addition, the seminar will provide positive solutions that can be applied to the mainstream automotive market that will benefit the entire industry.
 
Attending this event will seek to help you:
  • Gain knowledge of technologies available that will help improve vehicle performance without detracting from fuel economy via 10 high quality industry speakers.
  • Identify potential effects resulting from application of the technology and understand methods to mitigate the effects.
  • Understand the architectures and potential pitfalls in meeting performance, economy & driveability targets.
  • Network with industry peers – engineers, technical specialists and experts from the worlds leading high performance vehicle manufacturers and specialists.
  • Understand how hybridisation can enhance performance, whilst still considering economy.
  • Consider how developments being made to supercar technology can be transferred down into the mainstream automotive market, with cost constraints and businesses cases in mind.
  • Learn about new technologies that are pushing the boundaries, and understand what the next generation of hybrid vehicles will look like.
