Conference on Future Automotive Technology

The increasing trend towards electric cars leads to several challengesfor the automobile industry, research institutes and politics as well as forthe society. Research and serial development move closer together to meet automotive standards with new components like traction batteries integrated into hybrid and electrical drivetrains. Furthermore, the influence of e-mobility on the daily mobility behavior, the effects on the automotive supply chain and the impact on industrial production have to be taken into account. According to these complex aspects it is crucial to not only acquire specific knowledge in the particular fields but also to consider their functional interaction. Therefore, it seems essential to merge competence from science, economy and politics. This year, the annual "Conference on Future Automotive Technology" as the follow-up of the "2. Automobiltechnisches Kolloquium München" focuses on the economical realization of widespread automotive electromobility.
