Description
The Autotech Congress brings together manufacturers, researchers, designers, users, industry groups and academics to create a forum for the exchange of information and innovations. The papers included here examine the major advances and technological breakthroughs of today which shall become standard practice for tomorrow. Topics covered in this text include new vehicle transmission projects; analytical techniques in assessing design performance; vehicle noise and vibration; applications of aerodynamics technology; and improving exterior airflow characteristics.
