The first day sessions will feature issue presentations and panel discussions. The second and third day sessions will focus on technical presentations. Greenway, who directs Visteon's global powertrain product development, will speak as part of the panel on Powertrain Resource Stewardship - Initiatives for Optimization in Product and Process. "We, as an industry, have the responsibility to understand the market and identify the technology roadmaps and investments that will contribute to the advancement of the industry and add value," said Greenway. "Today, the commercial and regulatory drivers that would lead the value proposition for technology investment are not aligned. Studies show most consumers do not place fuel economy and reduced emission high in their purchase decision priorities and the regulatory requirements are not in place that would drive powertrain improvements. Meanwhile as an industry, we know the fuel situation that looms ahead and we are trying to drive technology to meet the needs of the future. As an industry we must clearly focus on the near-term solutions that will take us to the future."
