VEHICLE THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION

VTMS17

VTMS 17: dedicated to discussing the latest international developments in Vehicle Thermal Management Systems.

As the shift away from fossil fuels towards sustainable transport continues to accelerate, it is imperative that future vehicles have the required advanced thermal management fully overcome the remaining challenges around range anxiety, cabin comfort, and vehicle safety.

VTMS17 will continue to discuss and explore the necessity and complexity of battery analysis through differing simulation techniques and offer a system engineering approach to balancing duration, durability, and immersive coolant technologies. Through the presentation of topic areas ranging from off highway and heavy-duty commercial vehicles to motorsport applications, this conference will allow delegates valuable insight into the expanding world of sustainable thermal management methods and products alongside their cost and life cycle impact.

2026 themes include:

Integrated xEV Thermal Systems: Design and optimisation of cabin comfort, climate control, and full-vehicle airflow

Advanced Components & Materials: Innovation in heat exchangers, coatings, fluids, and manufacturing methods

System Efficiency & Sustainability: Incorporating waste heat recovery and lifecycle analysis (design to recycling)
