Drivetrain Committee
1.Aim of activity
As demands for automobiles grow, including those related to the global environment, safety, and autonomous driving, power sources are becoming more diverse, and expectations are growing for power transmission systems as a key automotive technology. In particular, there have been remarkable technological advances and developments in electrification. The committee constantly collects and organizes the latest technological trends in power transmission devices and systems, and advances future predictions. In addition, through the JSAE Annual Congress (Spring) OS and symposium activities, it provides a forum for engineers to exchange information, contributing to revitalization and human resource development.
