DRIVING TOMORROW −  POWERTRAIN & MOBILITY REDEFINED

International Congress, Expo and Ride & Drive
19 & 20 May 2026, Novi, MI, USA

CTI SYMPOSIUM USA IS THE KEY MEETING POINT FOR GLOBAL  FORWARD THINKERS IN AUTOMOTIVE POWERTRAIN DEVELOPMENT –  FROM PASSENGER CARS TO HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLES.

For the CTI SYMPOSIUM USA 2026, we invite OEMs, suppliers, engineering services, start-ups, and research institutions who are working on the redefinition of automotive powertrains and mobility to submit your topic proposal. We will continue to explore advancements in Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), and Hybrid Vehicle technologies, with a focus on drivetrain systems, e-motors, power electronics, and battery systems.

New in 2026: Smart Chassis Meets Smart Powertrains

Moreover, for the first time, CTI USA will spotlight innovations in chassis-powertrain integration, from motion control  strategies, steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire to active suspension systems and integrated development methods. Why now? Because chassis and electric powertrains share common challenges: precise motor control, real-time responsiveness, and the highest levels of functional safety.

The Expert Summit for a Sustainable Future Mobility

Only together we can create a sustainable future mobility. CO2 reduction is critical for automotive drivetrain. Here the battery electric drive using renewable energy is the focus. What can we do to increase efficiency and reliability, reduce cost and at the same time reduce the upstream CO2?

At CTI SYMPOSIUM the automotive industry discusses the challenges it faces and promising strategies. Latest solutions in the fields of electric drives, power electronics, battery systems, e-machines as well as the manufacturing of these components and supply chain improvements are presented. For the bigger picture market and consumer research results as well as infrastructure related topics supplement the exchange of expertise.

CTI SYMPOSIA drive the progress in individual and commercial automotive transportation. Manufacturer, suppliers and institutions are showing how to master the demanding challenges.
