10th International CTI Symposium and Exhibition
"Innovative Automotive Transmissions and Hybrid & Electric Drives"
(5-8 December 2011, Berlin)
www.getriebe-symposium.de/presse
Düsseldorf/Berlin, September 2011. The latest developments in the area of
transmissions - such as the manual 7-speed transmission from Porsche or the 9-
speed automatic transmission from ZF- show the level of innovation being
demonstrated by developers of transmission and drive technologies in the
optimisation of the drive train. Alongside the technical challenges faced in the
development of conventional and electric transmissions, manufacturers must also
confront international competition. New markets such as China or India offer
attractive business conditions, but also place other challenges on the
motorisation and electrification of the drive train.
Around 90 international transmission and automobile experts will present the
current economic and technological trends in the area of transmission and drive
train systems at the 10th International CTI Symposium "Innovative Automotive
Transmissions and Hybrid & Electric Drives" (5th to 8th December 2011, Berlin).
Sudhir Vyas, the Indian Ambassador to Germany, discusses the prospects for the
Indian automobile market. The Chinese market is examined by Dr Karl-Thomas
Neumann (Volkswagen Group China) and Didier Lexa (GETRAG Corporate Group). In
conjunction with Ralf Najork (Schaeffler Group), Shigeo Ishida (Jatco Ltd), Dr
Manfred Klüting (BMW Group) and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Spicher (Karlsruhe
Institute for Technology), Neumann will discuss downsizing and optimising the
transmission as an alternative to electric mobility.
The drive train in the year 2025
The topic of how the electrification of the drive train and the further
optimisation of the combustion engine will affect the world of drive systems up
to 2025 will be discussed by, amongst others, Dirk Lappe (Porsche Engineering
Services GmbH), Jörg Grotendorst (Continental Automotive GmbH), Dr Harald
Naunheimer (ZF Friedrichshafen AG), Frank Kessler (BMW Group) and Prof. Jürgen
Stockmar. New concepts for the various forms of drive train in automobiles will
be presented in the ten specialist forums at the CTI Symposium. In addition to
looking at the possibilities for improving the performance of manual and
automatic transmissions, the focus will be placed on the development of electric
and hybrid drives for passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
The tenth anniversary of the four "transmission days" in Berlin
The globally established CTI Symposium "Innovative Automotive Transmissions and
Hybrid & Electric Drives" celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. "We want
to use this anniversary symposium to take stock, present the latest
technological developments and, in particular, look to the future," commented
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ferit Küçükay (Technische Universität Braunschweig), Chairman of
the CTI Symposium, in the run-up to the event. The event has become one of the
most important meeting places for automotive transmission experts over the last
ten years, with up to 1,000 participants per year. The plenary sessions and
specialist forums are complemented by the accompanying trade exhibition
"Transmission Expo," where over 70 international transmission manufacturers and
suppliers will present their latest products and services to trade visitors.

will also be presented here - awarded to the best young engineers in the area of
transmission and drive train technology. http://www.getriebe-symposium.de/award
The CTI Symposium is traditionally opened with an introductory day and concluded
on the fourth day with a test drive of current transmission and drive
technologies at the ADAC Centre of Driving Safety Berlin-Brandenburg.
The symposium has underlined its international character by staging a sister
event in the USA for the last five years. CTI will expand its range of events
and stage a transmission symposium in China for the first time in 2012.
