Likis's panel will present exciting new engine technologies that will help automakers meet the mandated Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard (54.5 mpg by 2025) and help prepare automotive technicians for servicing tomorrow's vehicles. On the "Ethanol Myth Busters" panel will be Dr. Matti Vint, Chief Engineer for Ricardo Engineering, developers of the Extreme Boost Direct Injection (EBDI) 3.2L/V6 engine -- optimized for the high-octane properties of ethanol -- that rivals a 6.4L Diesel. Also on the panel will be Robert White, Director of Development for the Renewable Fuels Association, an acclaimed expert on ethanol fuels.
The Fall 2012 NASTF General Meeting, 1 to 4:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 13 is open to all show pass holders at the Automotive Service Repair Week (ASRW) events in the Morial Convention Center, New Orleans.
