ABOUT AUTOTECH: ELECTRIFICATION
Electric vehicles are reshaping the automotive ecosystem. EV consumers are expecting a more connected, autonomous, and personalized experience; coupled with geopolitical and sustainability factors influencing the supply chain, the industry needs to evolve to predict, and prepare for, demand.
In response to the evolution taking place in automotive, AutoTech: Electrification is progressing too. Formerly known as FOCUS: Electrification, this year, you’ll find a focus on both light and medium to heavy duty vehicles at our event as we discuss the unique challenges and opportunities for each. We understand that there is more to advancing electrification than propulsion developments alone. AutoTech: Electrification will assess all the ways in which the industry must prepare for the electric future, from vehicle design and manufacturing through to infrastructure developments, battery & hydrogen advancements, business models and more.
AutoTech: Electrification, previously known as FOCUS: Electrification & Advanced Propulsion, is hosted by the industry analysts of Wards Intelligence and showcases deep-dive presentations and panel discussions on electrification strategies and technologies.
We look forward to providing you new, innovative networking and learning opportunities and can’t wait to welcome you in 2023!
