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;VALUE=DATE:20230919 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230922 DTSTAMP:20240114T231621 CREATED:20230915T175803Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230915T175803Z UID:51861-1695081600-1695340799@www.cargroup.org SUMMARY:Advanced E-Motor Technologies USA DESCRIPTION:The US vehicle electrification drive has accelerated in recent times as a lot of automakers begin investing heavily in either going all-electric or at the very least including some electric vehicles in their portfolios. \nThere is also a big push from the current political administration\, with more funding and collaboration opportunities available to automakers than ever before. \nAs the market changes\, and OEMs get more and more electrified\, designing e-motors with higher torque\, higher output and higher levels of efficiency becomes a bigger priority. But designing and building smaller\, low-cost\, robust\, and efficient e-motors that can allow vehicles to go beyond 300-miles is a major pain point and a big focus of discussions at major vehicle manufacturing companies. \nAdditionally\, there is a significant push towards more efficient and seamless integration of e-motors with other parts of the system including thermal management systems\, inverters\, and power electronics. \nRecognizing these key factors\, drivers and pain points\, Automotive IQ is giving the automotive industry the opportunity to learn from and network with a bigger audience than ever before as the ever-popular Advanced E-Motor Technologies 2023 event comes to the United States as a first-of-its-kind event.
