Exhaust systems: 8th International CTI Forum
Stuttgart, Germany
Comparing emissions-reduction concepts and looking forwards to the challenges of reducing NOx, CO2 and particulates. The forum will take an in-depth look at EGR, SCR and optimised filter systems. There’s also an interesting-looking presentation on how emission limits in Europe and the US are developed.

26 - 29 January
SAE 2010 Government-Industry Meeting
Washington DC, US
This annual event should be especially interesting this time. Engineers and lawmakers gather to discuss everything from policy
on renewable fuels to biomechanics and accident research. It’s not clear yet who the keynote speakers will be, but somebody senior from the US Environmental Protection Agency will be
in attendance.

10 - 11 February
Hybrid vehicle technologies symposium
San Diego, US
We like the look of the panel discussions planned at this conference in California. Moderated by Sherif Marakby, Ford’s chief engineer for hybrids, there will be a panel of battery and systems suppliers fielding questions from delegates. A good chance to hear them discuss chemistries and strategies.

24 - 25 February
Braunschweig hybrid vehicles and energy management symposium
Braunschweig, Germany
This event attracts interesting speakers from the main German OEMs. The final list of speakers will only be available in mid-January, but it will be worth checking the website to see if there will be anybody from Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Opel talking strategy or getting into technical details.

13 - 15 April
SAE 2010 World Congress
Detroit, US
The breadth of this event is enormous, covering electronics, emissions, computer-aided engineering, management, materials, powertrain and safety. We like the look of the “Chat with the Experts” sessions, which cover crash simulation, fatigue analysis and Autosar electronics.

29 - 30 April
31st Vienna international motor symposium
Vienna, Austria
If you only attend one powertrain event in 2010, we recommend this one. Speakers have not yet been announced, but there is usually a very strong mix of high-ranking German and Japanese engineers giving very informative presentations on market trends, combustion and aftertreatment. Tends to fill up, so book early to secure your place.

19 - 20 May
9th international conference on turbochargers and turbocharging
London, UK
If you work in powertrain development, it’s hard to see how this event isn’t relevant to you. Held every four years, this is the big event in forced induction. Downsizing will undoubtedly be a dominating theme.

26 - 27 May
Diesel engines: facing the competitive challenges
Rouen, France
This event, held every two years, gets a lot of good speakers from the French OEMs. And if you’re working in diesel powertrain development, it probably pays to understand how Renault and PSA Peugeot Citroën are doing things. You can look forward to papers on future combustion concepts, gas exchange, simulation and calibration tools and prospective market developments.
