The global automotive industry has developed many new technologies to help the sector play its part in the move towards a low-carbon economy. Electric and hybrid vehicles, along with fuel efficiency technologies for diesel engines, are a key ‘clean technology’ that has emerged in recent years and will not only enable the car industry to significantly lower its emissions, but will also provide the consumer with a wider choice when it comes to sustainable transportation. However, the single biggest obstacle to getting electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids to market is the battery, with current battery costs being prohibitively high.

For the automotive industry to make the leap from niche market production to mass commercialization of electric and hybrid vehicles, a significant cost-reduction in the available battery technologies needs to be achieved. The ‘Electric Vehicle Battery Global Cost Reduction Initiative’, organised by London Business Conferences, will look at innovative solutions that must be found for driving down battery costs whilst ensuring the performance, safety and durability demanded by the consumer.

‘A global platform for senior executives in the automotive industry to translate technical developments at the battery level into cost-reduction opportunities for a commercial audience of strategic decision makers’

The EV Battery Tech 2010: Global Cost Reduction Initiative is the first global platform for senior decision makers translating the technical developments in batteries into commercial solutions for a commercial audience.

Car manufacturers from Europe, Asia and the U.S.A along with their global battery supply chains share extensive and pioneering research for cost reduction. Join us as we present the cutting edge research and entrepreneurs from Japan, China and Taiwan who are producing the next generation of cost-effective EV battery solutions.

Join the key industry players to understand the criteria for creating the next generation of partnerships that will deliver commercially viable EV batteries for mass production.

This event will be the launch pad for the first global industry-wide initiative for senior directors in the automotive industry to work with each other and their supply chain to deliver a future of commercially viable electric vehicle batteries.
