International EV Batteries 2020

Cost-Effective Engineering for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

 

Hear the latest developments in battery design, testing, thermal management, and integration right across the lifecycle of the battery for a more resilient and cost-effective battery.
 
Hear case studies from applications in passenger car and automotive OEMs as well as from aerospace, military, and heavy duty to see how a variety of sectors are overcoming the challenges in electric vehicle development.

Gain lessons learned from experts from pioneering battery and vehicle manufacturers to testing and safety specialists to implement in your organisation’s battery engineering.

From this conference you will:

  • Find out how specific challenges of integrating EV technology into heavy duty, aerospace and military applications are being managed by leaders in the field
  • Plan for a more cost-effective, stable and energy-dense battery by hearing about state of the art battery cell chemistries and design 
  • Gain insights into the latest battery testing techniques and technologies to ensure an efficient and safe battery
  • Learn best practice for thermal management of batteries to ensure optimal temperatures for safe and efficient operation
