Powertrain

The components that transmit energy from the engine to the road make up the powertrain.

Tough weight targets have to be set for power units in order to achieve fuel efficiency in vehicles.

Powertrain components are exposed to high alternating stresses and, especially within the engine, high temperatures. Aluminium meets specifications in this area. In fact, combined with intelligent design, optimum alloy selection and production technologies, aluminium offers an optimal solution for light-weight construction.

The manufacturing methods and process sequences used in Hydro are geared toward meeting the requirements of future engine technology.
