Past event: Thermal Management for EV/HEV USA Conference

Focusing in Optimizing Cost, Efficiency, Fast Charging & Range

After the record-breaking success of our Thermal Management conference in Munich in February, the flagship Thermal Management for EV/HEV USA comes to Michigan this September.

According to a Lead Project Manager at one of the big-3 vehicle manufacturing companies in Michigan, thermal management for EVs and HEVs is not only going to be around for a very long time but is also much more of a priority now than it has ever been. Right here, right now, the OEM has several priorities;
  1. Lower costs while leveraging advances in production and energy efficiencies,
  2. Optimize fast charging,
  3. Manage thermal runaway and
  4. Add more range to a vehicle by having a more efficient thermal system.  
Improving efficiency and reducing costs are primary drivers and key factors behind the decision taken by several OEMs to seamlessly integrate systems and take entire thermal management teams and put them in the propulsion space. Recognizing this pace of change, and evolving industry drivers/priorities, we are giving the automotive industry the opportunity to learn from and network with a bigger audience than ever before as Thermal Management for EV/HEV USA 2023 returns to Michigan co-located with the region's only dedicated Advanced E-Motor Technologies 2023 conference.

  • Understand where vehicle manufacturing companies are in terms of their successes and struggles; collectively develop strategies for success in a non-competitive environment.
  • Learn how to integrate systems and components as seamlessly as possible, as thermal, e-motor and propulsion teams begin to work more closely together than ever before.
  • Rub shoulders with key representatives from the EPA and the government as compliance with the five-cycle test becomes a key priority for OEMs

We invite you to be part of this full three-day technical conference, with parallel streams, over 45 presentations, 35+ speakers and innumerable opportunities for learning, networking and knowledge sharing with your colleagues from thermal management, e-motor technology, and propulsion segments.

"Great mix of people - as an OEM I had some interesting two-way conversations with suppliers where we both discuss what we are working on and see how it aligns - a win-win for both."

Attendee

"Great mix of nationalities at the event - not just German companies - great to hear what other regions are working on and what they are experiencing - whether they have the same challenges, ideas etc."

Attendee

"Really liked having panelists from different backgrounds proivide theirt thoughts on the topics - seeing the views of a startup OEM, OEM and Tier 1 Supplier - to hear the range of views was interesting"
