The 14th China International Automobile Propulsion Systems Summit

March 31st-April 1st, 2026, Shanghai China

Driven by global carbon neutrality goals and coordinated national policies and regulations, automobile propulsion systems are undergoing a profound transformation from "low-carbon" to "zero-carbon." The industry is characterized by three core trends:

● The coexistence of diversified technological routes is growing. Hybrid technology is breaking through in both high-performance and widespread adoption, with thermal efficiency continuously climbing. Pure electric architectures are accelerating their evolution with the large-scale application of 800V high-voltage platforms and SiC power devices, while supercharging technology has achieved "a 200 km range from a 5-minute charge." The commercialization of hydrogen fuel cells is speeding up, the cost of hydrogen storage systems has dropped significantly, and synthetic fuel technology offers a transitional solution for hard-to-abate sectors.

● Intelligent and electric technologies are deeply coupled, with powertrain domain controllers enabling cross-domain collaboration, AI algorithms optimizing energy management, and drive-by-wire technology promoting the decoupling of the chassis and Propulsion Systems.

● In the supply chain, local enterprises are dominating the global e-drive market, the self-sufficiency rate of key materials has greatly increased, and a closed-loop power battery recycling system has been established, supporting the development of a circular economy.

Against this backdrop, the IAPS 2026 14th China International Automobile Propulsion Systems Summit, themed "The Zero-Carbon Propulsion Systems Revolution: From Technological Breakthroughs to System Reconstruction," will focus on topics such as policy and standards, system integration innovation, intelligent control, new materials, and ecosystem construction. The summit will gather global industry leaders and technical experts from core suppliers. Through a main forum, sub-forums, and an innovation exhibition area, it will explore how propulsion systems can be upgraded into zero-carbon mobile energy hubs, helping to achieve the goal of reducing the average fuel consumption of passenger cars to 2.0L/100km by 2030 and advancing the green transformation of the global automotive industry.
