Summary
The Electrified Vehicle Engineering conference continues to cover the latest technical developments and insights into the engineering challenges associated with bringing battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) to market.
The Electrified Vehicle Engineering conference continues to cover the latest technical developments and insights into the engineering challenges associated with bringing battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) to market.
This two day conference provides a key forum for collaboration among engineers, researchers, developers, and manufacturers working to overcome common challenges around EV development and adoption. Key topics include efforts to achieve greater energy density, battery size reduction strategies, enabling safe high voltage charging, and much more.
Attend to join the foremost OEMs, suppliers, and researchers and learn about the latest developments in cost-efficient design, infrastructure challenges, testing and monitoring across all BEVs, hybrids and off-road vehicles.
Open call for presentations: closes 29 May 2026
We would like to invite you to submit a proposal to our open call for presentations.
Abstracts are up to 500 words and are submitted via the Oxford Abstracts portal. You will just need to log in or create a free account. The conference is organised by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and all submissions undergo peer review. You do not have to be an IMECHE member to submit.
Topics include:
- Battery Systems and Technology: cell chemistry and energy density advances, battery engineering and design, battery management systems, life and longevity, and recycling and sustainability
- System Integration: whole-vehicle electrification design and the integration of batteries, e-motors, power electronics, and charging components
- Power Systems and Efficiency: power electronics, e-motor technology, inverters, and DC-DC converters
- Vehicle Charging Systems and Infrastructure: onboard chargers, charging standards and compatibility, and fast charging technologies
- Sustainability and Design: material selection, modular design, manufacturing costs, and lifecycle considerations
- Safety and EMI: high-voltage safety, component protection, and electromagnetic interference
- Supply Chain and Manufacturing: manufacturing scale and pace, upstream supply chain, and critical material sourcing and processing
- Novel Concepts and Applications: hydrogen fuel cell integration, electrification across commercial vehicles, buses, and urban mobility, and solutions for heavy-duty, off-road, agricultural, marine, and aviation applications
