VEHICLE THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION VTMS17
VTMS 17 is dedicated to discussing the latest international developments in Vehicle Thermal Management Systems for combustion, electric, and hybrid vehicles.
The next iteration of this popular technical conference will continue to showcase new developments in vehicle cooling and thermal management, with presentations covering lessons learned and successes from projects in industry, academia, and research.
Attend to gain technical knowledge, practical experiences, fresh perspectives, and innovative solutions for a broad range of topics, including battery thermal management, power electronics cooling, cabin climate control, thermal simulation and modelling, energy management, and systems integration.
2026 conference themes include:
Integrated xEV Thermal Systems: Design and optimisation of cabin comfort, climate control, and full-vehicle airflow
Advanced Components & Materials: Innovation in heat exchangers, coatings, fluids, and manufacturing methods
System Efficiency & Sustainability: Incorporating waste heat recovery and lifecycle analysis (design to recycling)
Why you need to attend:
- Gain insights into the latest thermal management technologies: Explore cutting-edge developments in battery thermal management, vehicle comfort, component cooling, and thermal systems integration.
- Learn from industry-leading experts: Hear directly from OEMs, suppliers, researchers, and technology specialists sharing practical experience, technical case studies, and lessons learned from recent projects.
- Stay ahead of industry challenges and regulations: Understand how engineers are addressing efficiency, sustainability, range optimisation, passenger comfort, and increasingly demanding performance requirements across combustion, electric and hybrid vehicles.
