"Based on the hundreds of billions of dollars already invested in the internal combustion engine infrastructure and technology, we can cost effectively deliver better engines today," Greenway told the audience of industry leaders and powertrain engineers. "But where are the market drivers? And what will happen to force the rate of internal combustion engine development to increase at a rate that is technologically possible? At the end of the day, is the industry ready to stand up to the challenge of value, timing and investment to make a difference?" Over the next several years, Greenway said Visteon's powertrain technology development can result in internal combustion engines that deliver performance features consumers demand with the fuel economy and emissions reductions that exceed technology available today.
