Powertrain Systems Research
Lab
The need for higher fuel efficiency and
lower emissions continues to drive automotive propulsion systems.
At the same time, customers continue to demand a high level
of vehicle performance and pleaseability.
To help meet increasingly stringent environmental and energy
requirements while maintaining the vehicle performance that
customers expect, Powertrain Systems Research is working on
a number of advanced powertrain technologies. These include
advanced direct-injection gasoline and diesel engines, continuously
variable transmissions, control-augmented engines and transmissions,
and mechatronic systems.
The goal for the Lab is to enable GM to be the global leader in high-value, energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, high-performance automotive powerplants and drivetrains.
