Automotive Powertrain also discusses the latest trends in hybrid, fuel cell and hydrogen technologies that are fast developing, driven by environmental pressures globally. As discussions on the latest Environment Protection Agency standards, or the Euro 4 and Euro 5 standards rage on, the need for enhancing engine technologies has never been more urgent.

Engines such as DaimlerChrysler's powerful new 6.1-litre V8 Hemi that purportedly offers savings in fuel economy of up to 20% and the Lexus IS's all-new V6 featuring a newly designed fuel injection system and the power booster VVTi are part of a major technological development sweeping the passenger vehicle segment today. Similarly, engines with larger capacity, like the Cummins ISBe; DaimlerChrysler's next generation 15.6-litre in-line six-cylinder truck engines; International Truck and Engine's big bore diesel engines; and the 16-litre Volvo D16 equipped with EGR are all part of the crucial strategies deployed by the manufacturers to wake up to new demands placed by the regulators world over.
