Engine Congress

Industry meeting of the combustion engine community

The International Engine Congress of VDI Wissensforum and ATZlive in Baden-Baden has been an important meeting place for engine developers and fuel specialists for years. Decision makers and experts from all over the world meet here to discuss the future of the combustion engine.

The main focus of the congress is to discuss the technical potential of the combustion engine for emission-neutral mobility in the future, because electric mobility alone will not achieve the ambitious climate goals of this and the upcoming decades. An important key here is fuel, because its decarbonization would help the entire engine-fuel system to move in the right direction for a climate-neutral propulsion.

The congress is therefore based on three equally important thematic pillars: consideration of the overall system of combustion engines for passenger cars and commercial vehicles as well as fuels. The aim is to make targeted use of the synergies with regard to fuels, their properties and the new approaches to powertrain development based on them. With the close interaction between passenger car and commercial vehicle engine developers and fuel experts, we want to promote the exchange of experience, both nationally and internationally, within the framework of this multipart congress.

Good Reasons

Unique technical congress on the future of the entire combustion engine system

Not all the technological treasures of the combustion engine have yet been recovered. The International Engine Congress in Baden-Baden will provide excellent technical answers to the question of which levers can be used to raise efficiency to 50% and how the combustion engine, in combination with innovative fuels, plays an important role in climate-neutral mobility. The congress of VDI and ATZlive is regarded in the industry as the platform for open, controversial and forward-looking discussions about the mobility of tomorrow.

Excellent professional exchange with colleagues from home and abroad

As a participant, you can expect a cross-industry exchange between experts from the fields of passenger car and commercial vehicle engine development as well as from the fuel sector. Every year in February, you will have the opportunity to meet engine developers from all over the world in Baden-Baden and exchange ideas on the future of the entire combustion engine system. The focus is on concrete technological solutions and strategies for engine technology.

Large trade exhibition about engine technology

"Experts for experts" is the motto. Benefit from the large exhibition, TIER I-Supplier and OEs. The breaks offer plenty of space for exchanging information about the latest products and developments in engine technology alongside the specialist program.
