Die internationale VDI-Konferenz „Alternative Powertrains for Commercial Vehicles“ beschäftigt sich mit alternativen Antrieben für mittlere und schwere Lkw sowie für Stadt- und Reisebusse. Diskutiert werden sowohl vollelektrische Antriebssysteme, die ihre Energie aus Batterien oder Brennstoffzellen beziehen, als auch neue Formen des Hybridantriebs, bei dem Elektro- und Verbrennungsmotoren kombiniert werden. Sie lernen in den Vorträgen führender OEMs, Zulieferer und Forschungseinrichtungen die technischen Details der neuesten Entwicklungen kennen. Dies hilft Ihnen, die Vor- und Nachteile der verschiedenen Systeme in Bezug auf unterschiedliche Einsatzszenarien besser zu beurteilen. Die Vortragssprache dieser internationalen VDI-Konferenz ist Englisch.

Neue Grenzwerte: minus 15% CO2-Emissionen für Lkw ab 2025

Die Elektrifizierung des Antriebsstrangs gewinnt in der Nutzfahrzeugbranche stark an Relevanz. Nicht zuletzt, weil die EU im Jahr 2019 neue Grenzwerte für den CO2-Flottenverbrauch verabschiedet hat. Demnach müssen ab 2025 die Lkw-Emissionen um 15% gegenüber dem Vergleichszeitraum 2019/2020 sinken. Bis 2030 soll der CO2-Ausstoß sogar um 30% vermindert werden. Im Falle einer Nichteinhaltung drohen den Herstellern hohe Strafzahlungen an die EU.

Die VDI-Konferenz „Alternative Powertrains for Commercial Vehicles“ zeigt auf, welche Besonderheiten bei Entwicklung und Herstellung voll-elektrischer Lieferfahrzeuge zu beachten sind. Anwendungsbeispiele aus dem Lieferservice und dem Einsatz in anderen Transportunternehmen sorgen dabei für einen hohen Praxisbezug. Diskutiert werden u.a. die neue Geschäftsmodelle jenseits der Fahrzeuge und die Frage, welcher Energielieferant – Batterie oder Brennstoffzelle – sich für welchen Einsatzzweck eignet. Ebenfalls angesprochen werden die Herausforderungen beim Aufbau einer passenden (Lade-)Infrastruktur für den effizienten Einsatz elektrifizierter Busse und Lkw.

Lernen Sie neue Konzepte für alternative Antriebsstranglösungen kennen

Nutzen Sie die Gelegenheit zum Austausch mit führenden Vertretern der Bus- und Lkwbranche und diskutieren Sie die neuesten Trends und Entwicklungen.

Hören Sie u.a. Vorträge von:

  • Thomas Hilse, Brand President, IVECO
  • Håkan Agnevall, President, Volvo Buses
  • Jan Wohlmuther, Manager Customer System Consulting E-Mobility, Daimler Trucks & Buses
  • Hasso Grünjes, Head of eHighway, Siemens Mobility
