In a context in which the mobility sector will undergo an unprecedented transformation in this decade, driven by two key vectors such as new energy sources and technology, the celebration of a major event such as eMobility Expo World Congress is essential, which returns for its second edition to Valencia on February 13, 14 and 15.
This great event with sustainable, connected, autonomous and safe mobility, which is already the largest integrated and multi-specialist business platform in the mobility industry in Europe, will bring together more than 6,000 professionals to discover the latest trends, challenges and technological solutions of the sector with more than 200 exhibiting companies.
Within this framework of innovation, 10 vertical forums will analyze the transformation in which the industry is immersed at the eMobility World Congress. Each of them oriented to a segment: automotive, logistics, rail, air and maritime transport, urban mobility, micro-mobility, integrated transport systems, as well as the field of energy and batteries. In the urban mobility forum, cities such as Valencia, Barcelona, Benidorm and Malaga will debate the design and implementation of sustainable cities, as well as technologies for smart cities.
There will be no shortage of more than 370 international speakers for the occasion, including: Sebastian Schulte, CEO of DEUTZ, Benjamin Krieger, secretary general of CLEPA (the European association of automobile parts manufacturers); Juan Carlos Villanueva, from Mercedes-Benz; Miriam Gonzalo, head of electrification at Amazon; Laurianne Krid, from the FIA (International Automobile Federation); Adam Owens, of General Motors; María Luisa Melo, from DHL Express; Rosa Nordfeldt, from Air Europa; Teresa Romo, of Northgate; Santiago Lopezbarrena, from Vueling; or Daniel Marcelo, from Cabify, among others.
In the more technological field, the congress will also have the presence of Ashish Naik, global specialist and responsible for the commercialization in EMEA of emerging advanced computing technologies in AWS (Amazon Web Services) and Paul George, global leader of strategy and commercialization of autonomous vehicles from AWS, as well as John Moavenzadeh, executive director of the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Mobility Laboratory.
eMobility World Congress will also host four agendas focused on different professional profiles. The CEO's
Precisely, one of the most anticipated events is the H2 Hydrogen World Congress, the largest congress on green hydrogen in Europe, whose first edition will host the eMobility Expo World Congress to analyze the benefits of this renewable fuel and its application in the mobility sector. and also in the industry. It is estimated that in 2050 the industrial and transportation sectors will account for 42% and 36% of global clean hydrogen consumption, respectively.
In the new era of sustainable mobility, green hydrogen is configured as an energy vector, but recent advances in its production and use are increasing its role in sustainable mobility. With improvements in hydrogen extraction methods and the development of hydrogen fuel cells, this element is set to revolutionize various segments of the mobility sector. In the case of Spain, this energy source can mark a before and after in boosting the national economy in the coming years, since it is the country that has the most projects linked to hydrogen distributed throughout the territory. Consequently, this can become a great opportunity to reindustrialize Spain and turn it into the energy locomotive in Europe.
On February 14 and 15, more than 180 experts will analyze the importance of green hydrogen as an alternative energy source in the mobility sector and will present the projects and investments that are being carried out in this area. Experts in the field such as Curro Nicolau (Go Energy Group), Maryna Hritsyshyna (Hydrogenious LOHC), Patricia Prieto (Exolum), Xavier Gimenez (University of Barcelona), Javier Cervera (NET Zero Mar Alliance), and Xavier Ribas ( EVARM), among others. In addition, the congress will also feature top-level directors and executives from Vueling, Iberdrola, Cepsa, Repsol, BP or Deutz, among many others.
The sustainability of the future requires a change in the way we use energy, raw materials and decarbonization. To achieve this, the industry must focus on renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind and hydropower. For this reason, batteries and advanced storage systems will also have their place at the eMobility Expo World Congress.
In this context, Francisca Paulsen, director of EUMICON, together with Meri Rovira, marketing director of La Farga, Santiago Cuesta, General Director of ICAMCyL (International Center for Advanced Materials and Raw Materials of Castilla y León), and Rocco Lagioia, COO of ITRB Group, will detail in the Energy
The production and management of batteries presents innumerable challenges throughout the entire value chain and, in the current mobility paradigm, it is necessary to develop strategies that guarantee the sustainability of the entire battery production process, implementation of efficient charging systems and insurance, and the development of second life proposals and recycling plans. The expert in battery recycling and head of the Analysis and Testing Area of the Institute of Ceramic Technology (ITC), María Fernanda Gazulla, will explain the importance of recycling and reusing the materials that make up the batteries, as well as the creation of incentives for the adoption of electric vehicles, in order to reduce the environmental impact of the entire process.
