Professor Sam Akehurst at the University of Bath’s Institute for Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems will present ‘Opportunities and technologies for IC engines in a net-zero CO2 and zero-emissions future‘; while Simon Williams, real driving emissions operations leader at Mahle Powertrain Ltd will present ‘Powertrain development methods for Euro 7‘.
In total, the symposium is expected to host over 100 expert speakers – each sourced by the publishers of Engine + Powertrain Technology International magazine – who will present future concepts and technologies for the IC engine. Delegates can expect to meet senior engineers and futurists from the world’s car manufacturers, as well as Tier 1 companies and international research institutes. Pioneering startups, market analysts, legislators and emission-standard key decision makers will also feature across a series of panel discussions designed to foster debate and encourage knowledge sharing.
