The first model of an innovative, fuel-efficient internal combustion engine has been showcased at Engine Expo 2008.

Crowds at the Stuttgart-based show gathered to see an actual model of the Scuderi Air-Hybrid engine concept, which the company claims can improve fuel efficiency over conventional engines by 50%; can cut NOx emissions output by 80% when compared to gasoline and diesel powertrains; and offer improved performance of today’s hybrid systems.

Now in its tenth year, Engine Expo is the most important international trade show for automotive, bus and truck engine designers and manufacturers.

It is the must-attend event for anyone involved in the sale or procurement of engine components, engine manufacturing systems, engine accessories, new technologies and materials.

Engine Expo provides the most intense concentration of engine component manufacturers and technology providers anywhere in the world.

In 2007, over 11,000 key automotive specifiers and decision-makers from nearly 60 countries worldwide packed the Messe Stuttgart over the three days of the event to attend Engine Expo, Automotive Testing Expo Europe, Vehicle Dynamics Expo and the European Automotive Components Expo, which all take place at the same time.
