“Electric Mobility Congress”
being held at the Hanover
Fairgrounds on September
26, organised by VDA jointly
with BDEW, BDI, BITKOM,
VDMA, VCI and ZVEI.
The congress, which pre-
miered successfully at the
IAA Cars with some 500 par-
ticipants last year, will be exploring
the entire value chain of the electric
mobility system and will thus offer a
platform for exchanges between all
participating branches of industry.
High-ranking representatives from
the industry, academia, research
and politics, including Germany’s
Federal Minister of Economics and
Technology, Dr. Philipp Rösler, will
be examining a range of issues such
as: where does Germany stand in
the development of this future tech-
nology? What has been achieved so
far? What hurdles have still to be
overcome?
A second trend in the future of the
automotive industry is networking.
The vehicles of tomorrow will com-
municate – with the internet, with
other vehicles, with infrastructure.
Opportunities, challenges and poten-
tials of these new IT systems form
the focus of the “CarlT – Mobility
3.0” being presented by the branch
association BITKOM on September
25. Top-flight experts from the
commercial vehicle, transport
and supply industry will be ex-
amining the themes of Car-to-X-
communication, navigation and
telematics of the future, driver
assistance systems, traffic man-
agement, infotainment, apps and
operation, as well as e-mobility
& IT.
Both congresses are being held in
Room 1 of the Convention Center
(CC) at Hanover Fairgrounds. Par-
ticipation is free of charge for jour-
nalists. The detailed programme and
registration form can be downloaded

Diesel Emissions meet
during September 12-14
Diesel prices in India are heavily subsidised by the
government, but with a growing budget deficit plans are
being worked out to reduce this subsidy.
Dr. Kirit Parikh, Chairman of the National Low-Car-
bon Strategy Group, will be addressing the Diesel Emis-
sions Conference India to investigate possible methods
of implementing diesel fuel price reform in India and the
impact that this could have on the automotive industry.
To be held in New Delhi during September 12-14, In-
teger Research’s third Diesel Emissions Conference will
bring together senior stakeholders from the global au-
tomotive industry and investigate the industry progress
in meeting Bharat Stage IV legislation for on-road and
non-road vehicles and fuel economy requirements.
The conference will address emissions control tech-
nologies for high sulphur diesel fuel, the potential of
alternative fuels and dual fuel technology, and advance-
ments in hybrid technology for light-duty vehicles, and
also give an update on the current BS IV legislation.
This is the region’s leading diesel emissions event at-
tracting over 200 representatives from OEMs, technol-
ogy providers, and aftertreatment distributors and sup-
pliers from India and overseas.
