Abstract:
To meet the needs of our modern lifestyle, worldwide energy consumption has increased steadily over the years especially in the transportation sector which has already reached more than one billion motorized vehicles. It is hard to believe, but about a third of the fuel’s energy in these vehicles is still consumed by friction. In this talk, I will present some of the emerging trends in tribology and lubrication technologies that can help improve efficiency and durability for a sustainable transportation future that is also environmentally sensible.
