Small-Displacement Engines Integrating Cylinder Shutdown
Suppliers say they expect a dozen new cylinder-deactivation programs in future powertrains. Fully variable valvetrains make the feature a simple add-on for overhead-cam 4-cyl. engines.

GM Investing $23.5 Million at Baltimore Transmission Plant
The auto maker leverages grants from the U.S. Department of Energy to make the investment.

V2V Technology Advancing, But Hampered by Recession
Safety engineers can’t accurately predict when V2V and V2I technologies will be rolled out on a widespread basis, but all agree it will happen eventually.

Nexteer Offers EPS by Dozen
“No one was envisioning being able to carry the loads on a heavy SUV or pickup truck” with anything less than a 42-volt EPS system, says Nexteer’s president. “We’re doing it now at 12-volt.”

GM Adds Three Electric Opel Merivas to German Research Project
The cars feature sophisticated electronic controls to permit smart recharging, when electricity from renewable sources is available or most economical.

TRW Deal Portends Collision Avoidance for Masses
The supplier’s 24-GHz technology will provide the benefit of collision warning at a cost that is “fundamentally lower,” says Matt Roney, vice president-product planning.

GM to Introduce New Infotainment Technology Next Year
The auto maker’s new infotainment systems are focused on using a combination of graphic and touch interfaces that will minimize the amount of time the driver’s eyes leave the road.
