Dear Colleagues,
University of Pitesti, Romania and le Conservatoire national des arts et métiers de Paris, France organize in
partnership with the Romanian Society of Automotive Engineers (SIAR) a one day scientific workshop:
Variable Valve Actuation (VVA). A technique towards more efficient engines
Thursday, April 18, 2013 – University of Pitesti, Romania
Today, reducing fuel consumption is a prime objective in the automotive industry in order to meet legal and
customer demands. Variable valve actuation (VVA) offers many opportunities for improving engine performance
in areas such as fuel economy, pollutant emissions and comfort.
Several applications have already been successfully implemented in mass production and numerous innovative
solutions are currently under development.
The objective of this one-day workshop is to assess the state of the art of current and future variable valve
actuation technologies and to examine their many application possibilities.
With the contribution of the following companies: AVL, Politecnico di Torino, Renault, Schaeffler
Technologies AG, Volvo Powertrain.
This workshop is supported by CNCS-UEFISCDI (http://www.uefiscdi.gov.ro), project number PN-II-IDEI-WE2012-4-154
Do not miss this unique event which will gather the main experts on this current topic!
Please find below the preliminary programme.
Should you require further information, do not hesitate to contact us.

Chers collègues,
L’Université de Pitesti, Roumanie et le Conservatoire national des arts et métiers de Paris, France organisent
en partenariat avec la Société des Ingénieurs de l’Automobile de Roumanie (SIAR) une journée scientifique
sur
:
LA DISTRIBUTION VARIABLE (VVA) - Jeudi, 18 avril 2013 – Université de Pitesti, Roumanie
A l’heure actuelle, la réduction de consommation de carburant est un objectif primordial dans l'industrie
automobile afin de répondre aux contraintes légales et à la demande de la clientèle. La distribution variable
(VVA) offre de nombreuses possibilités pour améliorer les performances du moteur en terme d'économie de
carburant et de réduction des émissions polluantes.
En production de série des applications probantes ont déjà vu le jour et de nouvelles solutions sont en cours de
développement.
L'objectif de cette journée sera de faire un point sur l'état de l'art des technologies disponibles et d'examiner les
multiples possibilités d'applications.
Avec la participation des sociétés suivantes: AVL, Politecnico di Torino, Renault, Schaeffler
Technologies AG, Volvo Powertrain.
Cet atelier scientifique est soutenu par le CNCS-UEFISCDI (http://www.uefiscdi.gov.ro), numéro de projet PN-IIIDEI-WE-2012-4-154

Paris veranstalten in Partnerschaft mit der Gesellschaft der Autoingenieuren in Rumänien (SIAR) eine
wissenschaftliche Tagung mit dem Thema :
DER VARIABLE VENTILTRIEB – am Donnerstag, 18. April 2013, Universität Piteşti, Rumänien
Heutzutage ist die Senkung des Kraftstoffverbrauches der Hauptziel in der Automobilindustrie, der den
gesetzlichen Anforderungen und dem Bedarf der Kundschaft entgegenkommen will. Der variable Ventiltrieb
(VVA) bietet zahlreiche Möglichkeiten an, die die Motorleistungen im Hinblick auf Kraftstoffeinsparung ,
Reduktion der Abgasemissionen und Komfort verbessern sollen.
In der Serienproduktion sind erfolgreiche Anwendungen schon eingeführt und neue Lösungen werden
entwickelt.
Das Ziel dieser Tagung ist den Stand der Technik dieser Technologien zu analysieren und die vielfachen
Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der Zukunft zu prüfen.
Teilnahme der folgenden Gesellschaften : AVL, Politecnico di Torino, Renault, Schaeffler Technologies
AG, Volvo Powertrain.
Dieses Vorhaben wird von CNCS-UEFISCDI (http://www.uefiscdi.gov.ro), Projektnummer PN-II-IDEI-WE-20124-154 unterstützt.
Es ist ein bedeutendes Ereignis, das die wichtigsten Fachleute rund um dieses Thema zusamen kommen
werden .

Caro collega,
l’ Università di Pitesti ed il Conservatoire national des arts et métiers di Parigi organizzano, in collaborazione
con la Romanian Society of Automotive Engineers (SIAR), una giornata di incontro scientifico dal tema:
Azionamento variabile delle valvole (VVA): una tecnologia per migliorare l’efficienza dei motori
alternativi a combustione interna
Giovedì 18 aprile 2013 – Università di Pitesti, Romania
La riduzione del consumo di combustibile è oggi uno degli principali obiettivi dell’industria automobilistica, al fine
di ottemperare ai vincoli omologativi e soddisfare le aspettative della clientela. L’ azionamento variabile delle
valvole (VVA = Variable Valve Actuation) offre significative opportunità per il miglioramento delle prestazioni
relativamente a consumo combustibile, emissioni inquinanti e comfort.
Parecchie applicazioni sono già state introdotte con successo in produzione di massa e numerose soluzioni
innovative sono attualmente in sviluppo.
L’obiettivo di questa giornata di incontro scientifico è quello di valutare lo stato dell’arte delle attuali e future
tecnologie di azionamento variabile delle valvole e di esaminare le molteplici possibilità di loro applicazione.
Con il contributo delle seguenti organizzazioni: AVL, Politecnico di Torino, Renault, Schaeffler
Technologies AG, Volvo Powertrain.
Questa iniziativa è organizzata con il supporto del CNCS-UEFISCDI (http://www.uefiscdi.gov.ro), progetto
numero PN-II-IDEI-WE-2012-4-154
