TROY, Mich., Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The US market's demand for hybrid vehicles has continuously increased in recent years. The US manufacturers are expected to launch additional hybrid models. Ever increasing numbers of external service providers are being contracted to develop, adapt and test these vehicles, which possess both a combustion engine and an electric motor. Against this background the MBtech Group, a globally active engineering and consulting company, is attending the hybrid conference in San Diego, California in the middle of February.
On the 13th and 14th of February 2008 development engineers will gather in San Diego for the "Hybrid Vehicle Technologies 2008 Symposium". At this event organized by the US branch of the SAE, engineers from the automotive manufacturers located in the USA have the opportunity to obtain detailed information about issues surrounding the development of hybrid vehicles.
MBtech will be present at this event with its own exhibition stand. "We want to draw attention to our competencies and experience in hybrid vehicle development and also present ourselves to all of the automobile manufacturers active in the US market as a possible partner for hybrid development," explained Wolfram Motz, Head of Marketing for the MBtech Group.
MBtech offers manufacturers support with hybrid issues throughout the entire the product creation process -- from the development to the integration and adaptation as well as testing. In concrete terms this covers the development of engine control units, designing the hybrid-specific energy management and re-designing the powertrain along with adaptation applications for the chassis and peripheral equipment depending on the company strategy. In addition MBtech also provides construction and testing services for prototypes and pre-series vehicles. MBtech also performs tests for the US market at its own proving ground in Laredo, Texas.
