Europe, as one of the world’s fastest-growing markets for new energy vehicle penetration, has seen the development of thermal management technologies become a core battlefield for industrial upgrading. However, facing multi-dimensional challenges from policy pressures such as the EU’s 2035 ICE vehicle ban, the mandatory carbon footprint tracing under the New Battery Regulation, the industry is confronting complex pressures. Following the incredible success of our 2024 event, the EMEA xEV Thermal Summit returns in 2025. The EMEA New Energy Vehicle Thermal Management Summit focuses on the trinity of “Safety, Energy Efficiency, Sustainability,” bringing together global automakers, Tier 1 suppliers, research institutions, and policymakers to deeply explore: technological breakthroughs, standards harmonization, and business models. The summit aims to build a cross-domain collaborative ecosystem, drive the evolution of new energy vehicle thermal management technologies from “functional compliance” to “intelligent resilience,” and provide a key technological pillar for EMEA and the global NEV thermal management industries.
XEVTMIS is the most comprehensive conference in the field of NEV thermal management. The 2025 summit will be held both online and onsite and adopt a variety of ways of networking and learning latest intelligence. We will invite 20+ leading keynote speakers, 150+ top industry experts, and organize a panel discussion to provide insightful cases sharing and face-to-face Q&A networking opportunities for you to get comprehensive info about EMEA xEV thermal management new explanation.
