In the face of continued pressure to reduce carbon emissions through improvements in fuel economy, the high performance vehicle is increasingly becoming public enemy number one. Despite this, the desire for high performance vehicles and the associated enjoyment of driving remains strong. Given the future legislative and likely market pressures in this sector, this seminar aims to discuss the technical challenges of maintaining, or improving on vehicle performance, driveability and performance related NVH. This one day seminar will provide an overview of the technologies that will feature in vehicles over the coming years and how they affect Performance and Driveability (positively or adversely). Presentations will address how low carbon technologies can be integrated without adversely affecting the overall performance and driveability of the vehicle – or how to mitigate the effects of the technologies. To view the full programme or book your place on this seminar, please contact the IMechE or MIA. MIA members can take advantage of the IMechE members price for this event.
