  12. Conference Questions • What role will diesel technologies play in the U.S. in the near and long term? What challenges does diesel technology face? • Where is hybrid powertrain technology development heading? What will be the next innovations that will be part of the hybrid powertrain? How, if at all, will onboard energy management change for hybrid vehicles?

  13. Conference Questions • What are the biggest stumbling blocks in current battery development? How, if at all, will different charging paradigms affect development? • How will CAFE increases to 50-60 mpg affect manufacturer and supplier powertrain strategies?

  14. Conference Questions • How will different powertrains be represented in the new vehicle fleet over the next 10-15 years? • How will the cost of vehicles change because of the need to introduce more hybrid and electric vehicles into the fleet? • Which manufacturers will profit from the increased fuel economy standards and why?

  15. Conference Questions • How, if at all, will significant CAFE demands for the 2017-2025 timeframe affect manufacturers’ powertrain strategies for the 2012-2016 timeframe?
