CAR2017 International Congress of Automotive and Transport Engineering – Mobility Engineering and Environment

Abstract

The Congress of Automotive and Road Transport Engineering (in short, CAR) is a traditional scientific event initiated by University of Piteşti, Romania in 1978. CAR is reaching its 11th edition in 2017 and is part of the series of similar annual scientific events organized by Society of Automotive Engineers of Romania (SIAR) and various Romanian universities with interests in Automotive and Transport Engineering. Since its 7th edition from 1997, CAR gained the patronage of FISITA (Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d’Ingénieurs des Techniques de l’Automobile) and EAEC (European Automotive Engineers Cooperation).Considering that now, more than ever, there is an obvious need to strike a balance between natural increase of road mobility and environmental protection, CAR2017 was focused on Mobility Engineering and Environment. Moreover, the motto of the Congress (Academia, Industry and Government: together for automotive and transport engineering development) was an indication of the organizers belief that there is a need for meetings and discussions about the current and future challenges of the automotive and transport world in order to find the best solutions. In other words, we are convinced that the challenges of the future can only be overcome if these tripartite discussions occur permanently.Author details and signature are available in this pdf.
