Right here\, right now\, the OEM has several priorities; 1) Lower costs while leveraging advances in production and energy efficiencies\, 2) Optimize fast charging\, 3) Manage thermal runaway and 4) Add more range to a vehicle by having a more efficient thermal system. \nImproving efficiency and reducing costs are primary drivers and key factors behind the decision taken by several OEMs to seamlessly integrate systems and take entire thermal management teams and put them in the propulsion space.\nRecognizing this pace of change\, and evolving industry drivers/priorities\, Automotive IQ is giving the automotive industry the opportunity to learn from and network with a bigger audience than ever before as Thermal Management for EV/HEV USA 2023 returns to Michigan co-located with the region’s only dedicated Advanced E-Motor Technologies 2023 conference. \n\nUnderstand where vehicle manufacturing companies are in terms of their successes and struggles; collectively develop strategies for success in a non-competitive environment.\nLearn how to integrate systems and components as seamlessly as possible\, as thermal\, e-motor and propulsion teams begin to work more closely together than ever before.\nRub shoulders with key representatives from the EPA and the government as compliance with the five-cycle test becomes a key priority for OEMs\n\nAutomotive IQ invites you to be part of this full three-day technical conference\, with parallel streams\, over 45 presentations\, 35+ speakers and innumerable opportunities for learning\, networking and knowledge sharing with your colleagues from thermal management\, e-motor technology\, and propulsion segments.  URL:https://www.cargroup.org/event/thermal-management-for-ev-hev-usa/ LOCATION:Radisson Hotel Southfield-Detroit\, 26555 Telegraph Rd\, Southfield\, MI\, 48033\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230915T073000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230915T093000 DTSTAMP:20250304T063415 CREATED:20230915T175001Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230915T175001Z UID:51850-1694763000-1694770200@www.cargroup.org SUMMARY:Inforum's 19th Automotive Breakfast DESCRIPTION:Automotive always has been a technology-driven industry\, but in the next ten years there is likely to be more change in the industry than there has been in the last hundred.
