Abstract
Sustainable product design and development has gone global by involving teams from all over the world, developing new/innovative, high-tech products, aiming to implement sustainability in our knowledge-based society. RT&D and education in product design must comply with these requirements. Mechanical Systems (MS), as product components must also comply, thus general methods for MS modelling and design are compulsory. The paper discusses the involvement of MMS in promoting sustainable energy systems; mechanical and mechatronic systems in renewables are presented along with energy efficient applications in automotives. A proposal to establish a new IFToMM Technical Committee for Sustainable Energy systems is also presented and justified.
