Dear Colleagues:

Developing diversified powertrain technologies such as battery electric, hybrid, range extended and fuel cell electric drives as well as zero-carbon ICE and its hybrid is crucial for the steady and orderly advancement of the auto industry's green and low-carbon transformation in China.

For passenger vehicles, the innovations of high-voltage, high-speed and integration of electric drive and hybrid drive systems have entered deep waters. Intelligent energy management, thermal management and motion coordination of the e-powertrain, integrated with battery, chassis and other relevant systems, are about to become the next hot spots for technological innovations. In addition, the structural design, materials, processes, chips and digital development continue to innovate. In the future, there is still tremendous room for improvement in powertrain systems in terms of efficiency, reliability and lightweight, as well as in the vehicle's range, driving experience and cost.

The decarbonization in commercial vehicle sector is a focus and big challenge in the automotive industry. From January to September this year, the sales volume of new energy heavy-duty trucks increased by 143% year-on-year, but the market penetration rate is only 15.8%, and the new energy penetration rate of medium and long-distance heavy-duty trucks, which contributes more than 50% of commercial vehicle carbon emissions, is almost zero. Adhering to the exploration of diversified powertrain systems and achieving breakthroughs in cost, range and lifespan through technological innovation is key to future success.

Since 2009, TMC has been deeply engaged in the transmission, hybrid and electric drive industry for 16 years, and has become the largest international event for leading technological innovations and building an industrial chain ecology in the field of automotive powertrain in China.

The 17th International Automotive Powertrain Technology Congress (TMC2025) will be held in June 12-13, 2025. The congress will continue to deepen the discussions on innovative technologies and development strategies of electric and hybrid drives, and continue to consolidate the two parallel forums on commercial vehicle powertrains and power semiconductors, and the special session on e-motor materials, components, processes and systems. The congress will also significantly enhance the scale and effectiveness of the exhibition of new products and technologies.

It is expected that TMC2025 will assemble more than 110 speeches from industry leaders, technical executives and experts, 3-4 high-level round tables, more than 150 companies displaying new products and technologies, and about 3,000 professionals attending the conference and visiting the exhibition.
