The conference attracts transport policy makers, practitioners and researchers from all over Europe and beyond. At the European Transport Conference (ETC), they can find in-depth presentations on policy issues, best practice and research findings across the broad spectrum of transport. The range of topics with the multi-seminar approach makes ETC unique among transport conferences and it has established itself as the premier event of its type.

The conference programme covers supranational issues, national and local policy and the planning and implementation of projects at a local level. Sessions at the Conference can be challenging in discussing matters of policy at the highest level, they can also provide good, basic education and training opportunities. As transport policy makers, practitioners and researchers throughout Europe respond to the challenges of climate change, economic growth, equality issues, social and demographic change and now, the effects of a pandemic, ETC provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of robust and affordable responses.

Transport planners will be asked to supply solutions to the challenge posed by ‘the new normal’.  Will workers return to offices in city centres?  What is the future for retail?  Will the recent switch to cycling and walking continue? How will public transport recover? Are existing models robust enough to deal with the new situation? At the same time, they are finding solutions for resilience in the face of the existing threats posed by climate change, energy and infrastructure security; the need to improve health and fitness; hard and soft measures to improve the safety of walking and cycling.  They have to deal with the challenges and opportunities offered by big data and consider the impacts of future technology such as connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) which will revolutionise travel behaviour and land use patterns as well as whole industry sectors.

While some studies indicate that living standards can be better in urban areas compared to villages, there are significant societal challenges that are exacerbated by large population growth in urban areas that have constrained resources, such as road networks, public transport, energy, water, waste management and healthcare. 

The first International Conference on Transport and Smart Cities gathers researchers from around the world to share the latest advances in the field of smart cities, with a focus on transportation. The solutions developed by industry and research aim to address the challenges posed by the increasing population in cities. 

Topics addressed in this conference inlcude:

• Cybersecurity and privacy in smart grid systems
• Intelligent Transport Systems
• Internet-of-Things for Smart Cities
• Smart Mobility
• Transport Policy, Planning, and Financing in Developing Countries
• Travel Behaviour and Choice Modeling
• Urban Transport Operations

The SAE Powertrains, Fuels and Lubricants Summit attracts the world’s top engineers and industry-leading companies as they delve into new and emerging powertrain technologies related to engine design, fuels, lubricants, combustion, and emissions control for the light-, medium-, and heavy-duty segments.

Expect a close look at near future and long-term solutions for powering and enabling mobility through live and on-demand speaker presentations, panel discussions, and much more. It is an opportunity to connect with fellow industry professionals, network with organisations from around the globe, and help shape next-generation solutions.

The online event will cover topics such as:

• Engine Combustion

Renewable energies, energy storage, and e-mobility play a central role in achieving climate protection targets. As efficient and environmentally friendly mobility solutions, electric vehicles have an important contribution to make to the energy transition. The Power2Drive highlights the significance of electric cars for the energy mix and transport of the future. It introduces, innovative charging solutions, battery concepts, and business models for sustainable e-mobility. Renewable energies and e-mobility are an optimal combination.

The exhibition Power2Drive showcases charging solutions and technologies for electric vehicles and reflects the interaction between electric vehicles and sustainable and environmentally friendly energy supply. It is an industry hotspot for suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and start-ups in the emerging field of electric mobility and transportation.

The conference, runnning from 20-21 July, will showcase keynote speakers covering sessions such as:

• eMobility in the New Energy World
• eMobility and Charging Stations - Market Report
• Intelligent Charging Infrastructure Technologies
• Power2Drive, Smart Charging and Vehicle2X - Pitches & Panel Discussion
• Mobility-as-a-Service and Innovative Business Models

The Swedish Transportation Research Conference 2021 covers all traffic modes and all transport related questions, welcoming contributions from all disciplines and areas covering analysis, understanding, planning and evaluation of the transportation system.

During this event, taking place at Malmö University, will cover topics such as:

• Intelligent, connected and automated transport and logistics systems
• Impact of disruptive technologies on transport systems
• Planning of logistics and transport systems
• Terminal and storage management
• New technologies and organizational forms impacting on
• Logistics and transport systems

The need for action in order to reduce the climate crisis is urgent. Electrification of the transport sector with renewables will reduce the globe’s carbon emissions considerably. The Nordic EV Summit will address how we get policymakers, business and consumers to speed up the transition for the world to enter the electric era. 

The annual Nordic EV Summit attracts visitors from all over the world to discuss the latest advances, challenges and actions in the EV sector. 

The 2021 Summit will be delivered under four key topic areas:

• EV Policies around the world
• Energy of tomorrow
• Battery Technology and Volume
• Mass Production

Please note, this event has been postponed to November 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Finding new ways to share knowledge and best practice has never been more important in the world of traffic technology. Intertraffic Amsterdam is more than just an exhibition. Discover new trends, best practices, the latest developments and solutions to challenges in the traffic industry over the course of four days. The event will feature knowledge sessions, live demos, and networking sessions covering five key areas:

• Infrastructure
• Road Safety
• Parking
• Smart Mobility
• Traffic Management

The knowledge sessions will focus cooperation, connectivity and data sharing. Pioneers and innovators will discuss the mobility of the future and authorities will show their progress on social, economic and environmental aspects of mobility. 

Returning this year is ITSUP: the event for startups. During Intertraffic Amsterdam, startups will pitch their innovative solutions and show ground-breaking new ways to approach business cases.

InnoTrans is the leading international trade fair for transport technology and takes places every two years in Berlin. Sub-divided into the five trade fair segments Railway Technology, Railway Infrastructure, Public Transport, Interiors and Tunnel Construction, InnoTrans occupies all 41 halls available at Berlin Exhibition Grounds. The InnoTrans Convention, the event’s top-level supporting programme, complements the trade fair.

A unique feature of InnoTrans is its outdoor and track display area, where everything from tank wagons to high-speed trains are displayed on 3 500 metres of track.

Since 2016 InnoTrans offers vehicle manufacturers the possibility to demonstrate busses on a static display area and the adjacent Demonstration Course.

InnoTrans is organized by Messe Berlin. The thirteenth InnoTrans has been postponed until 20-23 September 2022.
