For the second time running, this year‘s 15th CTI Symposium USA took place digitally due to Covid-19. But as chair Dr Hamid Vahabzadeh said when greeting participants, this has also changed the work of engineers in the automotive industry. This year there was even stronger emphasis on the two panel discussions. Their topics were complementary: ‘The Battle between BEV and Hybrid’ and ‘Will 100 percent BEV be a reality in future?’ Read more in our summary.

Plenary Speaker at CTI SYMPOSIUM USA on 9 September 2021, 09:10 AM EDT
Watch Gary Horvat´s pre-video for CTI USA now. Gary will be discussing “Breakthroughs needed for viable electrification of commercial application” at the symposium 2021.
After the merger Navistar is part of the TRATON. Together they want to meet the challenges of new regulations and rapidly evolving technologies in connectivity, powertrain and autonomous driving for our customers worldwide even better and quicker. The group is going to invest almost two billion dollars in electrification by 2025 – part of it could help Navistar to push BE and FC/H2 programs.

Plenary Speaker at CTI SYMPOSIUM USA on 9 September 2021, 10:10 AM EDT
The automotive industry is facing a tremendous transformation as the number of electric vehicles (EV) is increasing. However, this development comes along with challenges in terms of declining development times, challenging cost structures and very dynamic customer demands regarding driving experience differentiating propositions. How can a TIER 1 supplier overcome the listed hurdles and even boost the transformation? How will the EV-market further develop?
During his presentation Dr Scharrer will discuss the success factors like regulations, e-motor specs, charging infrastructure and demands for future series adaption of EVs. Based on the analysis he will describe the need of technical developments such as standardized, scalable and flexible module kits for e-motor and inverter technologies as well as the ability to upgrade modules during the product lifetime. – The main success factors to master shorter development cycles combined with decreasing prices.
But not only this: in addition he will explain why organizational changes and skilled workforces are needed to ensure high maturity of new products combined with shortened time-to-markets. Learn about organizational changes within ZF’s R&D, reskilling initiatives, the development of new technological modular kits and the impact on the transformation speed of the industry.
