Cover Story
Authors of the article: BMTS Technology
BMTS Technology has developed a new type of 3-D plain bearing for Advanced Exhaust Gas Turbochargers with significantly reduced friction. It is based on a three-dimensional hydrodynamic active principle with increased power density and offers significant potential for increasing turbocharger efficiency.
Cover Story
Authors of the article: Miba Gleitlager Austria GmbH, Technische Universität Graz, LEC GmbH
Intelligent bearings make it possible to monitor the wear of highly stressed components during operation. Miba is developing innovative bearing sensors with their own power supply to permanently monitor the bearing condition in the fired engine and thus avoid maintenance costs and emissions.
Development
Authors of the article: FEV Europe GmbH
In view of stricter emission limits and rising demands on driving performance and CO2 reduction at the same time, FEV has investigated solutions to the conflict between increasing specific power and switching to stoichiometric combustion throughout the engine map. Based on a V6 3.0-l bi-turbo engine this paper shows how the engine can be laid out to 200 kW/l and stoichiometric operation in an electrified powertrain. The engine features a central fuel injection, single-stage turbochargers with variable turbine geometry and port water injection. RON98 fuel was used during engine testing.
Development
Authors of the article: IAV GmbH
IAV has developed a higher-level system architecture for the management of diesel engines and their exhaust gas aftertreatment. This makes it possible to meet the strict emission requirements of the Euro 6 standard even under real driving conditions.
Development
Authors of the article: AAM (American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc.)
American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc. has investigated the concept of a battery-powered four-wheel drive vehicle in which one axle is driven by a synchronous motor and the other by an asynchronous motor. In the following a control approach that optimizes the overall efficiency of the vehicle by combining the advantages of both motor types depending on the driving situation is presented.
For more than 10 years now we have been a proud partner of the MTZ magazine. We are looking forward to looking after this outstanding brand for decades to come.
Many of our readers are high-ranking personalities in the field of powertrain development and production. There is a reason why they recommend our magazine to others – because our content offers the greatest added value in the entire industry. See for yourself.

Closing Statement
MTZworldwide is the English digital edition of MTZ, which has been published for over 80 years. Always at the pulse of drive development, its appearance has changed dramatically in recent years. Today it is the international technical-scientific magazine for engineers in drive development with a special focus on the development of electrified and combustion engine drives with a pronounced focus on the electrification of 48-volt to high-voltage and fuel cell applications.
The spectrum ranges from innovative passenger car and commercial vehicle drives to components and large engines. Of course, classic topics such as friction minimization, turbocharging or charge cycle and the valvetrain still have a firm place in MTZworldwide. It is therefore a must read for technology-oriented management and promotes the global transfer of information between manufacturers, the supplier industry, service companies and research and development centers all over the world.
