Les Rencontres Scientifiques de l’IFP: Advances in Hybrid Powertrains

25-26 November 2008
IFP/Rueil-Malmaison

 
Today, hybrid powertrains are expected to have a substantial impact on road travel and its technology still has a long way to go before it reaches maturity. New classes of components, particularly well suited to hybrid applications, are increasingly being studied, prototyped or released. Consequently, hybrid powertrains are still a subject of in-depth research.
 
Around 200 participants attended this international conference, jointly organized with TNO. It has been a scientific and technical event gathering together players from the worlds of academic research, applied research and industry and focusing on the medium-term development of hybrid powertrains for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, buses, and delivery trucks.
