The VDI conference “Eurotyre – Linking Tyre-Chassis-Road” is THE conference for exchange of innovation, technology, and interaction at the highest scientific level. The conference brings together leading experts from the tyre industry, vehicle manufacturers, the road industry, as well as academia and suppliers from across Europe. The 23rd Eurotyre – Linking Tyre-Chassis-Road Conference will take place from September 29-30, 2026, in Hannover, Germany.

Mobility in Transition

Digitalization and decarbonization are the two major drivers of profound change across all sectors – including mobility. Advances in (partially) autonomous driving and the increasing electrification of powertrains are also transforming chassis and tyre development as well as road construction. In addition, environmental aspects such as tyre wear and brake dust are increasingly being discussed publicly. The tyre and chassis community is therefore called upon to collaboratively develop new solutions and optimize communication.

The 23rd VDI Specialist Conference “Eurotyre – Linking Tyre-Chassis-Road” is the meeting place for leading experts from industry and research. Representatives from relevant companies, research institutes, and universities present their innovations and projects and discuss the current challenges in tyre and suspension development. Hear what the key players from practice have to say and use this information to support your own development work.
 

This year, the following topics are the focus of the event:

  • Driver assistance systems with tyre/chassis/road interaction
  • Performance/Driving safety through innovative tyre/chassis/road systems
  • Innovative development methods in simulation and testing
  • Rolling resistance optimization via tyres/chassis/road interaction
  • Sustainable tyre production (including recycling)
  • Wear and emissions reduction for tyres and brakes (including durability)
  • Weight reduction on tyres and chassis
  • Driving dynamics and driving comfort
  • Road concepts, road of the future





The program will be available here in the coming days.
