Resilient Engine

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.

Note

Dante connects "sharing" to a "resiliency" approach.
