Overview
The transport sector continues to shift towards alternative powertrains, particularly with the UK Government’s announcement to end the sale of petrol and diesel passenger cars by 2030 and increasing support for alternatives. Despite this announcement, the internal combustion continues to play a significant role both in the passenger car market through the use of hybrids and sustainable low carbon fuels, as well as a key role in other sectors such as heavy duty vehicles and off-highway applications across the globe.
Building on the industry-leading IC Engines conference, the Powertrain Systems for Net-Zero Transport conference will focus on the internal combustion engine’s role in Net-Zero transport as well as covering developments in the wide range of powertrain systems available (electric, fuel cell, sustainable fuels etc) and their associated powertrains. In order to achieve the net-zero transport across the globe, the life-cycle analysis of future powertrain and energy will also be included.
Book your place and access this key forum for engine, fuels, e-machine, fuel cell and powertrain experts to discuss the challenges and possible solutions to meet the demands of the net-zero future and global competition in all sectors of the road transportation, off-highway and stationary power industries.

"I am looking forward to hearing about how the various powertrain solutions can complement each other and how the balance may shift over time."
Hugh Blaxill, General Manager and Head of Engineering Services, North America, MAHLE Powertrain, LLC
"We are in a period of significant change and it is a real opportunity for engineers to make a tangible difference, the conference allows the discussions, presentations and collaborations to help achieve the objectives we are challenged with."
Steve Sapsford, Managing Director, SCE
"Especially in crazy times like these, it is important to keep the dialogue going. Technology development does not take place in secret, it is rather the result of successful cooperation. I am really looking forward to exchanging ideas and discussing things with the experts. A new chapter in propulsion system technology is currently opening up and it is up to us to fill it with meaningful content. This role is not an easy one, but together we can do it - if we don't, who else?"
Carsten Weber, Manager, Powertrain Research & Advanced Engineering, Ford Europe

COVID-19 PREPARATIONS:
We are keen to return to in-person events and enjoy the benefits of connecting face to face. Whilst Covid-19 continues to circulate in the UK, we are taking steps to keep event participants as safe as possible. You can attend IMechE events with the confidence that the following safety measures will be in place:
Physical distancing
Attendees are requested to maintain a distance of 1m+ from each other. Where possible, room layouts and seating will be arranged to facilitate this.
Masks / facecoverings
The wearing of masks/face coverings is encouraged (although not compulsory), unless satisfactory social distancing, ventilation or air sterilisation is not possible, in which case it will be compulsory.
Covid testing
Attendees are requested to undertake a Covid test (lateral flow or PCR) a maximum of 24 hours prior to the start of the event/meeting.
Ventilation and air sterilisation
Where possible, rooms will be well ventilated or fitted with air sterilisers to significantly reduce the risk of transmission.
Catering
Where possible, catering will be provided in such a format as to facilitate social distancing.
Support your career development
Attending this event supports your Professional Development; if you're an IMechE Member, this can be tracked in the Career Developer section of your online account.
