Dante is interested in challenging engineers, including engineers working with German Automotive companies, to converge around a project focusing on Resilience
Resilience
...in relation to all aspects related to engine propulsion:
from collaboration in design, to manufacturing, to energy sources, to maintainance and logistics.
Efficiency
As for now, certain german automotive engineering seems to focus on "efficiency", which may require very specialized labor and very specific components.
Such push towards efficiency being itself pushed by european directives focusing on carbon emission reductions.
Example with some recent "hybrid" cars focused on efficiency : http://www.porsche.com/microsite/panamera-hybrid/usa.aspx
Leipzig
Dante wishes to invite engineers to Leipzig for a post-industrial re-thinking for "Resilient" engines.

Efficiency Vs Resilience
... or approaches to balance efficiency and resilience as to obtain greater sustainability.
Viewed from ecosystems approach in economic contexts :

Excerpt - page 16 of pdf - graph on page 17
"Efficiency measures the ability of a system to process volumes of the relevant matter-, energy- and/or information-flow.
Resilience measures the ability of a system to recover from a disturbance.
These variables have
been more formally defined as follows:
- 1) Efficiency: a network’s capacity to perform in a sufficiently organized and efficient
manner as to maintain its integrity over time; and
- 2) Resilience: a networks reserve of flexible fall-back positions and diversity of actions that
can be used to meet the exigencies of novel disturbances and the novelty needed for on-going development and evolution (Holling, 1973, 1986; Walker, et al., 2006)."
Note
Dante connects "sharing" to a "resiliency" approach.
