Preface

The constant pressure towards the realization of environmentally friendly “green” vehicles is dramatically changing vehicle concepts and architectures. Examples are the growing importance of lightweight materials, the downsizing of internal combustion engines, and the introduction of more advanced after-treatment and combustion strategies including the use of alternative fuels and control strategies like “idle stop.” We are witnessing continuous evolutions in automotive transmission technology characterized by a steadily increasing number of gear ratios combined with reduction of friction losses and dual clutch technology. And of course there is the “revolution” of alternative propulsion systems including pure electric (BEV) appli
