Efficient Multi-Energy Platform

As pollution and climate change are a growing concern among the public, we are witnessing a fundamental change in the automotive domain. Vehicles are not welcome in cities anymore and politicians as well as the industry are looking for sustainable mobility solutions. Vehicle electrification is now competitive and viable, and is definitely part of OEMs' strategy concerning the future of mobility. Meanwhile OEMs are proposing intermediate solutions such as plugin hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), the internal combustion engine must be drastically optimized to comply with the Euro6 new regulation. Versatile mega-platforms enable long term challenges to be met while keeping all powertrain options open. On one hand, manufacturing lines around the world are consolidated on one or two platforms, and on the other hand all powertrain solutions are developed during this uncertain transition period to full electric, if it happens one day.
