Every year, the international automotive community meets up at the International CTI SYMPOSIA in Germany and USA to discuss the best strategies and technologies for tomorrow’s car, busses and trucks. To reduce CO2 emissions drivetrain electrification and the use of renewable energies are in the focus. Efficiency, reliability and costs need to be optimized at the same time. CTI SYMPOSIA are premier industry meetings that cover all the key issues in depth.
The CTI SYMPOSIUM EXPO is a professional platform with unique cross-sector networking opportunities. Annually hundreds of delegates get latest updates on products and services, exhibitors show their solutions at their booths as well as during a ride & drive.
The transformation of the powertrain is creating new challenges for testing. Electric motors, e-axles, hybrid transmissions, batteries and complete electrified powertrains require highly dynamic, flexible and precisely controlled test environments. ZF Test Systems provides advanced test solutions for the development and validation of conventional, hybrid and fully electric powertrains.
