Introduction

Aim

"Technologies for Future Mobility by xEV"

Organized by JSAE, most highly valued Japanese academic society of automotive engineers in the world, EVTeC is a conference that focuses on technologies for future mobility by xEV such as BEVs, HEVs, FCEVs, PHEVs and various other related technologies. The first EVTeC was held in May 2011 with great success. Despite being held immediately after the Great East Japan Earthquake, it featured 66 presented papers and was attended by 230 participants. The second EVTeC was successfully held in May 2014, featuring 90 papers and 264 participants. The third EVTeC in May 2016, was also a success with 101 papers and 293 participants. The fourth was held jointly with EVS organized by JARI as EVS 31 & EVTeC in October 2018 in Kobe, with the scale expanding to 317 papers and 1160 participants in the symposium. After this joint EVS, the fifth EVTeC in May 2021 was held independently online, and attracted 90 papers and 250 participants, even under the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. The last EVTeC 2023 was successfully held at Pacifico Yokohama, with the scale expanding to 95 papers and 350 participants.

EVTeC 2025 will be held at Pacifico Yokohama, aimed at a face-to-face conference alongside the JSAE Annual Spring Congress including a 100,000 person-scale exhibition. Participation in the Spring Congress and exhibition is free of charge for EVTeC participants, and these events provide an excellent opportunity to experience the front line of activities in Japan firsthand.

Countries around the world are pinning much hope on the electrification of vehicles and putting much effort to enhance the related technologies, toward “carbon neutral transportation” as an effective means and a strong policy to cope with global warming problems. As part of these initiatives, along with innovative advances in batteries and other component technologies, the evolution towards vehicle traction electrification has been steadily promoted.

In recent years, in addition to partnerships with electric power systems, we have also started exploring the potential creation of value and provision of services based on new perspectives such as CASE (connected, autonomous, shared, and electric) on the back of advances in information technology.

We trust that EVTeC 2025 will fulfill its promise as a prestigious forum for international discussion on the topics of new mobility contributing to carbon neutrality and smart society.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Yokohama in May 2025!
