Networked action for zero emissions
Our task is to keep the future open | The FVV creates knowledge-based insights into forward technologies for climate neutrality and zero-impact emissions from sustainable energy conversion systems. We have a clear fact-based compass and we are always open to the best solution from a technical, economic and environmental point of view. In doing so, we organise open-topic research along the value chains, bringing together companies with the same interests regardless of size and economic power. We network bright minds and benefit from their knowledge and experience. We think ahead and open up paths to the world of tomorrow for young talents. This is how inner drive and passion give rise to technological progress.
We are prime movers | In our innovation network, globally operating manufacturers of power systems, energy carriers, fuel cells, vehicle / aircraft / industrial engines and turbomachines, as well as their suppliers and development service providers, conduct together with universities and other research institutions pre-competitive, collective research on future technologies. The goal is to operate energy converters – engines, hybrid powertrains, turbines, compressors, turbochargers and fuel cells - with renewable energy sources in new (partially) electrified, integrated and digitalised energy conversion systems in a more efficient, cleaner and sustainable way - to the benefit of society, climate, environment and industry. The FVV has invested almost 1 billion euros in 1,500 research projects since it was founded in 1956.

POWERTRAINS AND ENERGY SYSTEMS OF TOMORROW 2022 | ATZ | 10 - 11 May 2022
The technological transformation in individual mobility on the basis of regenerative primary energy requires an intensified technical exchange of ideas between leading representatives of the automotive and energy industry on the one hand and science and politics on the other. For that reason, this congress will focus on topics that not only describe the change in vehicle powertrains, but also present technological solutions in the associated infrastructure, including the provision of primary energy. Discussions will concentrate on political framework conditions as well as on systemic innovations for the future and digital solutions.16th International MTZ Congress on Future Powertrains | Shaping the future open to all technologies

Expert Forum Powertrain 2022 | 09 - 10 November 2022
The electrified journey: Developing sustainable products // Electrification of powertrains is the key to CO2-neutral mobility. The automotive industry is developing electrified powertrain systems and components at full speed. Product development processes must be adapted to customer expectations and legal requirements. With the state of the art of current development methods, we would like to show how the increasing complexity can be mastered and where there are still gaps. The congress offers you an in-depth insight into the subject matter through expert lectures, discussions and exhibition, as well as the opportunity for networking. Main topics: Energy storage and converters / electrical system components / transmissions and bearings / materials, coatings and lubricants / simulation / integrative development methods

POWERTRAINS FOR RENEWABLE FUELS - ON THE PATH TO CO2-NEUTRAL MOBILITY
CO2-neutral eFuels and also CO2-free fuels such as H2 and NH3 have great potential for new powertrain developments. For the rapid reduction of CO2 emissions of the existing vehicle fleet, eFuels offer an impressive solution.
The conference Powertrains for Renewable Fuels is aimed at participants from industry, science and politics who are interested in challenges and solutions for CO2-neutral mobility using renewable fuels.

Sharing new ideas to generate innovation
Europe is the largest factory of knowledge, ideas and innovation in the world: 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.
