Summary
Public discussions may have put an end to the joy felt by those who expected electric mobility to be implemented quickly and comprehensively, but the automotive industry has not slowed down in the least. On the contrary, the focus is now on pushing forward development programs geared towards improving conventional drives and, at the same time, on promoting the introduction of electrified and electric drives. Schaeffler is consistently working at the component, module, and system level to further optimize drive trains with internal combustion engines. Today, the reduction of friction and weight, and above all variable valve trains – continuous and non-continuous systems – all have significant potential with regard to the task at hand.
