2027 themes

The technical programme is being developed with FISITA's international Expert Groups, with thematic tracks planned for launch in January 2027. Themes include:

Advanced Chassis Technology icon

Advanced Chassis Technology

The all-important connection between the vehicle and the road is shaped and defined by brake, tyre, and chassis engineers whose remit now includes technologies for the transition to electrification and the solutions for new non-exhaust emissions rules that include brake and tyre wear.

Digitalisation, Software & AI icon

Digitalisation, Software & AI

From the use of digital tools in the product development lifecycle to the as-yet unknown potential for artificial intelligence in every aspect of vehicle manufacturing, this topic addresses technologies at the cutting-edge of mobility engineering.

Propulsion Systems icon

Propulsion Systems

Decarbonisation of mobility ultimately looks set to be achieved through electrification of the mainstream fleet; experts will discuss everything from battery electric vehicles to other important solutions which can help to improve fuel and energy consumption and reduce harmful emissions.

Safety & Automated Driving icon

Safety & Automated Driving

Experts in safety and automated driving explore a range of topics from advanced driver assistance and intelligent vehicle safety systems to highly sophisticated automated driving technologies and the business models they will support.

Sustainability icon

Sustainability

Sustainable mobility is about much more than reducing tailpipe emissions; experts will consider ways for OEMs and suppliers to examine all aspects of their business, from manufacturing and logistics to material and energy sourcing, applying circular economy principles throughout the product lifecycle.
