The global automotive landscape is entering one of its most technically demanding eras. With tightening emissions regulations, accelerating electrification, and rising expectations for comfort and performance, OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers are reshaping how they design, integrate, and validate the next generation of automotive powertrain and thermal systems.'
As long-standing silos continue to be broken down, OEMs are adopting system-level approaches to vehicle development, bringing together interdisciplinary teams across integrated powertrain engineering, thermal management, e-motor design, power electronics, transmission systems, and gearboxes. This shift reflects a broader industry recognition: meaningful efficiency gains now come from holistic optimisation, not isolated component improvements.
With global PFAS restrictions continuing to dominate thermal challenges, the transition towards propane-based refrigerants and other compliant alternatives is reshaping system architectures, safety strategies, and validation requirements. At the same time, geopolitical volatility continues to challenge access to rare earth materials, intensifying the push toward magnet-free e-motor technologies and more resilient supply chains.
Increased efficiency, extended range, and improved sustainability remain critical objectives, but the industry is now rapidly embracing data-driven control, AI-enabled virtual modelling, and digital twins to unlock cost savings and next-level performance. This is redefining how OEMs simulate, validate, and optimise powertrain and thermal systems, reducing development cycles, improving accuracy, and enabling continuous improvement through real-time vehicle data.
The Automotive Powertrain & Thermal Management Summit will explore the industry's most critical drivers and deliver practical and actionable insights. Across two days and two tracks, the programme provides the necessary opportunities to collaborate with your peers, learn best practices from across the ecosystem, and solve shared challenges across the entire powertrain and thermal value chain.
