Electromobility is here
The market may be growing faster than most of us imagine. Electromobility receives political support across Europe and globally. Battery prices are going down rapidly. In some cases e-cars are already competitive without subsidies.
The Electromobility Forum brings you a range of lectures and discussions focused on the key agenda of electromobility, hydrogen mobility and practical topics of fleet electrification.
You can watch the lectures and discussions from ELECTROMOBILITY FORUM 2020 on iHNed.cz (in Czech only).
The Forum is structured into four parts:
DAY 1 OF THE CONFERENCE
October 14, Forum Karlín
Electromobility: four sessions focused on the key electromobility agenda, with the participation of foreign experts and sufficient time for questions from the audience
DAY 2 OF THE CONFERENCE
October 15, Spojka Karlín
Large Vehicles and Hydrogen: conference on hydrogen and battery trucks and buses, and on the related infrastructure
EXHIBITION
October 14, Forum Karlín
An exhibition of vehicles and electromobility products and services which will accompany the conference
WORKSHOP
October 15, Worklounge
Fleet Electrification: The workshop is focused on practical topics of fleet electrification in companies or public organizations
We will focus on the following main topics
What types of vehicle and what technology and trends can we expect on the market in the next few years?
What is the perspective of electric cars in company fleets?
How is public charging infrastructure and urban mobility evolving?
What should we expect from regulation, public support and the social impact of electromobility?
How do the investment and operational comparisons of hydrogen, battery and diesel vehicles look like?
Who is the forum for?
For all those interested in the boom of electromobility
Companies with small and large fleets of cars, trucks and buses

Large Vehicles and Hydrogen Conference
Friday October 15, Spojka Karlín
Registration starts at 8:30, conference starts at 9:00, conference ends at 16:00
The Conference will be simultaneously interpreted
Battery buses have been running in several cities and regions in the Czech Republic already for a few years. Battery-powered vans have become available, heavier trucks are just beginning to be sold. "Green hydrogen" is a big topic and the EU is very attached to technologies for its production, distribution and use (involving subsidies). It is a run on a long track, but the first hydrogen bus projects for real operation are already underway also in the Czech Republic. The first heavy-duty hydrogen trucks recently started to travel in large numbers in Switzerland.
During the conference we will address the following topics:
1. PERSPECTIVE OF ELECTRIFICATION OF BUSES AND TRUCKS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

How do global players Bosch and Hyundai see hydrogen in road transport? Case study of hydrogen trucks in Switzerland: what is the motivation there, how does it work, what are the prospects of further development? |
