Hybrid and electric vehicles have continued to transform the future sustainability of the automotive sector. Recent initiatives and engineering developments throughout the industry have increased the eco-capability of these vehicles. Major manufacturers have invested heavily in research and development in order to expand the capabilities of hybrid and electric vehicles as governments and global society push for further emissions reduction. European manufacturers are now poised for growth, as analysts have recently forecasted that European OEMs will become the global leaders in hybrid and electric vehicle technology before 2014. Innovation in technology and powertrain development will play a vital role in optimizing vehicle energy efficiency and reducing costs, resulting in hybrid and electric vehicles that are viable solutions for the future of personal mobility. In a rapidly evolving industry, it is imperative to have a key understanding of innovation and development trends in EV powertrains.

This one-day conference will provide an ideal setting for delegates to expand their business network and identify solutions to future challenges in order to create advanced, ultra-efficient powertrain systems. Participants will explore current industry trends in drivetrain electrification as well as analyse key areas for development and technology growth. In addition, this session will provide an invaluable opportunity for business representatives, investors and engineers from around the world to share their own experiences and exchange ideas to further understand the evolution of hybrid powertrains as they continue to transform the automotive industry.
