The Schaeffler Group has added another renowned award to its comprehensive collection with the “Outstanding Technology 2009 Award”. This important prize is awarded by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) based in the USA. The award for “outstanding technology” was presented during the SAE Technology Congress held in São Paulo in October. Among the milestones in innovation presented in Brazil, such as the dry double clutch for direct-shift transmissions and the twin tandem ball bearing, the jury of experts particularly honored the world’s first fully-variable hydraulic valve control system UniAir. UniAir has been in production since May 2009 and is used by Fiat and Alfa Romeo in the MultiAir models of the MiTo and Punto Evo series. A total of 123 technical innovations were presented to the 8,500 visitors during the three-day technical conference. 17 of these innovations came from the Schaeffler Group. The decisive factors for the jury’s decision were the product advantages of the fully-variable valve control system, i.e. the significant reduction of fuel consumption and emissions while improving the performance of the engine, and the technical implementation of the concept in the development of a volume produced product. “There is probably no better occasion for a technology award than a renowned technology congress,” explained Sergio Pin, Vice President Automotive Sales and Production Development of the Schaeffler brands INA and FAG in South America. “This award is a recognition of our innovative force and ability to put new ideas into practice. At the same time, it motivates us to continuously develop new solutions and forward-looking technologies,” said Dr. Peter Pleus, member of the Executive Management Board of Schaeffler Group Automotive. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is one of the oldest and most renowned associations of the automotive industry. It was founded in 1905. One of the 30 founding members was Henry Ford. In the pioneering days of the automobile, the most important objective was to define standards that were valid across all regions. Today, the abbreviation SAE is widely known for viscosity classes of lubricants or the performance definition SAE-PS that is mainly used in the USA. SAE with more than 121,000 members today provides one of the most important networks for engineers and decision makers in the automotive industry.
