Detroit Athletic Club
241 Madison Avenue
We welcome you to the 2012 LMS Vehicle Conference that will take place in the Detroit Athletic Club in Detroit on June 19-20, 2012. It is a forum for decision makers and technical experts to discuss challenges and latest developments in the automotive, supplier, off-road and other advance manufacturing industries.
Under a never diminishing pressure of faster go-to-market and less prototype cycles, the vehicle and vehicle systems engineering community are facing similar challenges:
- How to meet the increasingly strict regulations for fuel economy, energy efficiency and CO2 reduction?
- How to manage the upcoming stricter noise emission regulations and the impact on NVH and comfort of eco-driven measures?
- How to optimize and leverage investments in physical testing in support of improved vehicle development for NVH, Durability and Performance?
- How to adhere to existing and upcoming ISO standards for electronics safety and how to frontload controls calibration & testing?
- How to manage trade-offs between energy efficiency, fuel economy and comfort for new powertrain concepts?
- How to optimize for vehicle and component weight under set safety and performance requirements?
The following key industry speakers have confirmed to bring their vision on the above challenges:
- Dan Nicholson, Executive Director, Driveability, Calibration & Validation, General Motors
- Dr. Mircea Gradu, Vice President Powertrain, Transmission and Driveline Engineering, Chrysler Group LLC
- Dr. Jan Leuridan, Executive Vice President, CTO, LMS International
- Lunch Time Speaker - Nizar Trigui, Global Chief Engineer, Vehicle Energy Management, Ford Motor Company
