MONTREAL, - Cars, energy and the environment -btopics currently of keen interest - will all be on the agenda in Montreal, September 28-30, as the city hosts PHEV'09, the conference and trade show devoted to the latest technological breakthroughs in electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. The event takes place at the Hyatt Regency Hotel (conference) and Complexe Desjardins (trade show).
Mobility Electric Canada, which is spearheading this international-scale event, has lined up more than 80 conference speakers, from Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia to share their knowledge and experiences, thereby providing an extraordinary learning opportunity about the key technical, commercial and political issues comprising electric mobility. Electric mobility includes surface transportation and off-road vehicles using
electric-drive technologies provided by battery or grid connection, hybrid or
fuel cells.
"The success of last year's event clearly showed that electric mobility is of primordial interest for these specialists from around the globe," stated president Mike Elwood of Electric Mobility Canada. "The PHEV'09 program has been developed with the aim of providing a forum for enriching discussions to expand on the issues pertaining to these new technologies on which we base considerable hope for the future."
The diverse program includes a series of workshops and conferences dealing with many topical and thought-provoking subjects. These include: standards, regulations and safety in the electric vehicle market, now and in the foreseeable future; the various initiatives to promote and support electric vehicles; the performance of transportation alternatives in the context of climate change; the transitioning of the workers to an electric-vehicle society, along with an overview of current research and development activities across Canada.
Along with this there will be a panel discussion during which senior representatives of OEM's currently selling light and heavy duty vehicles in Canada will be invited to share their views on the Canadian market and describe the electric drive vehicle choices they will make available to Canadians over the next five years. A more comprehensive overview of the program can be found at the end of the press release.
