Congrès International : International Conference AEA Poitiers - Futuroscope April 2 & 3, 2008

4th European Conference
Alternative Energies for the Automotive Industry

The success of the 2006 edition of the congress on "Alternative Energies for the Automotive Industry" (AEA) revealed a valued overview of new technologies in the field of alternative energies. The constantly rising global warming threat and increasing oil prices strengthen the need for addressing the latest developments of such fast growing technologies and for deepening the debate on these thematic issues. In partnership with the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME), the French Society of Automotive Engineers (SIA) and the Mobility and Advanced Transportation Competitiveness Cluster (MTA Cluster) decided to jointly organise the 2008 edition of this congress with special emphasis on Alternative Energies for passenger and freight transport, and technologies under development to reduce Greenhouse Gases and specifically CO2 emissions. Special emphasis will be made on the latest technology developments in the thematic sessions.

The call for papers will be focused on 2 topics:

1. Technologies for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles, including Fuel Cell Vehicles:

Electric energy storage, vehicle configurations for hybrid powertrains, applications and projects related to hybrid vehicles (cars, light/heavy duty trucks, buses, etc.) as well as the prospective actions and the experience feedbacks about HEV.

2. Alternative fuels capable of meeting low CO2 emission targets:

Synthetic fuels, fuels stemming from lignocellulosic biomass, gaseous fuels such as hydrogen etc.
This conference is expected to gather automotive industry engineers, experts, and researchers worldwide during a two day schedule. It is also an opportunity to exchange information on the latest technological achievements.
