Electric Powertrains and Energy Systems 2026

19-05-2026 – 20-05-2026 – Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Call for Papers

E is the key

It has now also become normal for electric vehicles to have competing models from different manufacturers on the market. The driving range of electric cars is now similar to that of gasoline-powered cars and the charging infrastructure is also far better than critics often suggest.  

The 20th International MTZ Conference on Future Powertrains discusses how the generation and provision of energy on the one hand and the mobility sector on the other will need to be planned and designed in order to create a sustainable and climate-friendly future. The focus is also on new powertrains for PHEVs, BEVs, and FCEVs, as well as their efficiency. From this perspective, a key role is also played by the power electronics required for intelligent charging, alongside the charging technology and infrastructure, and the provision of electricity.

Enrich this important conference with a new, innovative presentation. We would be very pleased to welcome you as a speaker. Details on submitting a paper can be found in this Call for Papers.  

After the congress, your paper will be published as part of the congress proceedings at Springer Vieweg and on the online platforms Springer Link and Springer Professional.
