The international VDI conference “Automotive Batteries – Cells, System and beyond” brings together leading experts from industry and science. This conference is organised for the first time by the VDI Wissensforum and focuses on the current challenges and solutions in the field of battery technology for vehicles.
Decision-makers and specialists from all areas of the value chain will provide you with insight about the latest technical developments and innovative production and recycling concepts, amongst other things.
You will also receive an overview of the relevant local and international regulations and standards. Use this unique platform to expand your expertise in a key area of future mobility.
The Drive of the Future is Electric
There’s one thing the experts agree on: the mobility sector also has to contribute towards achieving environmental targets. Electric drive systems will replace traditional petrol and diesel engines in the future.
According to current discussions, battery electric drivetrains will play a dominant role. In some areas, such as bus and heavy goods transport, the use of hydrogen-powered fuel cell systems is also being discussed.
The VDI conference “Automotive Batteries – Cells, System and beyond” brings together stakeholders from the automotive sector who are involved in the development, production and integration of battery and fuel cell systems.
Topics that will be discussed include new battery materials and cell formats, more efficient battery production processes and the recycling and reuse of materials.
The conference will provide you with a comprehensive overview of leading manufacturers and suppliers’ future plans and offer you a wide range of opportunities to bring your own experiences to the table and shape this key area of mobility.
The international VDI conference “Automotive Batteries – Cells, System and beyond” will be chaired by Philipp Rose, Director PwC Strategy.
