"According to Jim Lanzon, executive director, Global Transmission Engineering, GM Powertrain, the advantages of computerized modeling, design, and analysis go beyond the six months and $15 million this technology has allowed GM to eliminate from the development process for a typical transmission. &amp;ldquo;As we move toward alternative power sources,&amp;rdquo; says Lanzon, &amp;ldquo;we are talking about integrated &amp;lsquo;power cubes&amp;rsquo; instead of discrete powertrain assemblies.&amp;rdquo; These units will be designed and developed in tandem, and&amp;mdash;in some cases&amp;mdash;use designs, materials, and processes currently foreign to powertrain design and development."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
