Next WNC Section MeetingSUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION: A Future Worth Creating Automotive engineer Dave Erb will discuss mobility technology options, and advocate a particularly desirable path to a sustainable transportation future. Extensive time will be allowed for deeper discussion of topics of specific interest to the audience.

Dave started his career in the heavy truck and transit bus industry, then became a university professor. In 1995, he began a consultancy focused on hybrid electric vehicles, with a sideline in renewable energy. In three decades, he has developed vehicles employing gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, alcohol, electric, natural gas, and hybrid electric powertrains, working with hybrid electric vehicles since 1986. From 1995 until 2004, Dave created and taught a three-day professional development short course on "Design of Hybrid Electric Vehicles" for the Society of Automotive Engineers. An enthusiastic auto racer, he has won raced (and won with) electric vehicles on road courses, oval tracks, and drag strips.
