IMechE conference on Internal Combustion Engines in Nov

Conference entitled  Internal Combustion Engines: Improving Performance, Fuel Economy and Emissions to be held by IMechE in London on the 29th and 30th of November.

Overview

The challenges facing internal combustion engine manufacturers are greater than ever. How can engineers reduce CO2 emissions and the dependence on oil-derivate fossil fuels? How will they meet the future emission limits? What is the vision of the engine and fuels industries?

This international biennial conference series continues to address these questions and more, providing an opportunity to learn about the latest technological developments and advances from the most recent research from industry and academia. There will be keynote presentations from senior representatives of Nissan, BP and Caterpillar.

The conference will look closely at developments for personal transport applications, though many of the drivers of change apply to light and heavy duty, on and off highway, transport and other sectors; this event is the perfect opportunity to examine, compare and debate responses.

Towards Clean Diesel Engines - Chester 8-9 June
