Power & Propulsion
Introduction to Hybrid
Powertrains Webinar
2 Hours
I.D.# C0903
Although hybrid powertrains have been on the market for little
more than a decade, hybridization has quickly become one of the
most successful alternative powertrains available today. Some OEMs
estimate that up to 80% of their light-duty vehicles will require
some level of hybridization to meet upcoming CAFE regulations in
the United States. Additional market drivers, such as California’s
greenhouse gas legislation (now adopted or in process in 20 US states
and two Canadian provinces) and a possible global agreement on
greenhouse gas production at the end of 2009 may help to accelerate
the process.Basic information on hybrids is scattered among
information sources, and is often difficult to synthesize. In this twohour webinar, energy storage systems, inverters, motor-generators,
and DC-DC converters are explained, as well as design considerations
for both light-duty and heavy-duty vehicle powertrains and
developing trends such as plug-in, flywheel and hydraulic hybrids.

Introduction to Commercial and
Off-Road Vehicle Cooling Airflow
Systems Webinar Webinar
12 Hours
I.D.# WB1240
Vehicle functional requirements, diesel emission regulations, and
subsystem thermal limits all have a direct impact on the design of a
powertrain cooling airflow system. Severe duty cycles, minimal ram
air, fouling, and sometimes unconventional package layouts present
unique challenges to the designer. This webinar introduces many
airflow integration issues and vehicle-level trade-offs that effect
system performance and drive the design.

This course is designed for the engineer, manager, or marketing
professional who needs a quick overview of the design and manufacture
of hybrid vehicle powertrains. Industry professionals who want a
broad yet concise overview of the technological aspects of current and
upcoming hybrid powertrains will benefit. Anyone who is unfamiliar
with basic hybrid technology, yet whose job will be impacted by
hybrid vehicles in the future, will benefit from this webinar. A basic
understanding of road vehicle construction and operation will be helpful.

The goal of this six-session webinar is to introduce engineers and
managers to the basic principles of diesel cooling airflow systems
for commercial and off-road vehicles. Participants will learn about
vehicle/product constraints, integration issues, cooling airflow,
system resistance, fans, shrouds, radiators, coolers, estimating heat
rejection, thermal recirculation, and overall system performance. Basic
concepts will be reinforced with examples and a cooling performance
calculation of a diesel cooling system.
