Scuderi Group executives are busy planning for their next trip, this time to Engine Expo 2008, May 6-8 in Stuttgart, Germany.

Now in its tenth year, Engine Expo is billed as “the most important international trade show for automotive, bus and truck engine designers and manufacturers … Engine Expo provides the most intense concentration of engine component manufacturers and technology providers anywhere in the world.”

Scuderi Group executives and staff will be at Stand 5342. The company invites attendees to stop by to get an overview of the Scuderi Air-Hybrid Engine, and to learn about recent test findings — based on a working valve train prototype — that back the design Scuderi Air-Hybrid Engine’s crossover valve train.

These findings demonstrate that the sophisticated computer models that the Scuderi Group is using to develop the Air-Hybrid Engine are producing concrete engineering results that work as expected when prototyped.

When asked about plans for Engine Exop, Scuderi President Sal Scuderi said that the company plans to display a demonstration model of the valve train (seen below), so that engineers can “touch and feel it and get a much better picture of how the hardware is going to work.” .
