The Moving Power of Engine and Turbomachinery Research
The FVV (Forschungsvereinigung Verbrennungskraftmaschinen | Research Association for Combustion Engines ) is a worldwide innovation network of companies, research & technology performers (RTD) and funding bodies. Manufacturers of automotive engines, industrial engines and turbomachinery as well as their suppliers and service providers work together with universities and other research establishments on cutting-edge technologies. The aim is to make engines and turbines cleaner, more efficient and sustainable – for the benefit of society, industry and the environment. The FVV has invested more than 500 million euros in 1,200 research projects since it was founded in 1956.

Prime Movers - The Innovation Network
Europe is the world's largest factory of knowledge, ideas and innovation: Around one-third of the global production of know-how and innovative products comes from EU engineers and researchers. Cross-border cooperation unites the best minds and ideas. It makes the difference: globalisation - climate-neutral economy - energy transition in transport - mobility of tomorrow. These are just a few examples of the tasks of the future that need to be adressed - together with our members and partners in Europe and the world.

13th International MTZ Conference "The Powertrain of Tomorrow 2019" | Call for Papers
At the past ATZ Powertrain Conference, we found approaches towards achieving a powertrain mix that can provide mobility with CO2-neutral emissions without further air pollution and can open up opportunities for worldwide application. The follow-up conference in January 2019 aims to clarify the viability of this powertrain mix of low-voltage and high-voltage hybrid drive systems with and without plug-in technology, fuel cell drive systems, and internal combustion engines powered by synthetic fuels. Please submit your paper not later than 15 June 2018.
