Why attend?

As 2009 commences, it is clear that the automotive industry is in a state of rapid change. Hybrids and electric vehicles have quickly captured the industry's attention as a forward-thinking solution to sustainable transport. Furthermore, industry analysts predict that European OEMs will become the world leaders in hybrid and EV technology by 2014. Advanced technology and innovative powertrain engineering will play a critical role in optimizing vehicle energy efficiency and reducing costs, thus making hybrid and electric vehicles a viable solution for the future of personal mobility.

This conference will provide a premier setting for business representatives and engineers from around the world to share their own experiences, exchange ideas, and better understand the advances in hybrid powertrains that are sweeping the industry. Additionally, this event will provide an important opportunity for delegates to expand their business network and grasp the future challenges that must be faced in order to create advanced, ultra-efficient powertrain systems.
