High Performance Powertrains 2022

Overview

The decarbonisation of the motorsport and the high-performance vehicle industries is gaining more and more traction, with fans and teams more aware of the environmental impacts and with the 2030 plan to end the sale of new internal combustion engine-only vehicles.

Plans are coming together to meet Formula 1’s own pledge to be carbon-neutral by 2030 through using sustainable fuels. With high performance vehicles often used as a test-bed for cutting-edge propulsion technology, attend this year’s High Performance Powertrains to see the future trajectory of transport as we head towards a net-zero future.

This year's seminar will feature the latest developments in technologies for both high performance vehicles and motorsport covering the range of powertrain systems including internal combustion engines with sustainable fuels, hydrogen, electric and fuel cell applications.

COVID-19 SAFETY:

This event is COVID-safe: 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 with the venue to keep event participants as safe as possible in order to attend IMechE events with the confidence.

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 / face coverings 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.
