Urban sustainable mobility is a today's imperative. Electric
Driven Vehicles are already a real solution and they are operating
quite successfully in their niche markets. Successful demonstrations
like EVD-Post, ELCIDIS, LISELEC, Battery and Hybrid bus fleets,
etc., have already been showing results, demonstrating that
Electric Driven Vehicles can, in fact, provide real contributions
to a better quality of life in the cities. An urgent discussion
is required on a roadmap for urban sustainable mobility technology,
showing the way to the implementation of Electric Driven Technology:
Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles. At the event,
we want to get the key actors together for a round table:
local government, transport providers, professionals, government
and NGO's.
The 2004 European ELE-DRIVE Transportation Conference &
Exhibition on "Urban Sustainable Mobility is possible
- now!", 2004 EET for short, to be held at Estoril, Portugal,
on the 18 and 19 March 2004, will provide an opportunity to
observe:
- The vision of the cities on sustainable transport systems
for mobility and goods distribution;
- State of the art of Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric
Vehicles
- Successful demonstrations developed in several European
cities
- Market niches
- Research and development activities
- The need for short-, medium- and long-term roadmaps for
the implementation of Electric Driven
- Vehicles technology
This European event, of AVERE - European Association for
Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric Road Vehicles - aims
at filling the gap between two successive European venues:
the very successfully EVS, Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric
Vehicle Symposium and Exhibition, the world's largest event
on Electric Driven Vehicles, that takes place in Europe only
every 4-5 years.
The two-day European Conference offers you an opening session
with top keynote speakers, a round table with the presence
of major actors from the field of sustainable mobility and
electric driven vehicles technology; 22 parallel sessions
with some 100 papers will illustrate practical solutions as
well as the latest technical and scientific progress. The
European conference will be preceded by a 1-day national conference.
With a four-day Exhibition, open to the public, an EV Parade
and a permanent Ride & Drive, this event will also be
a unique opportunity for car and components manufacturers,
energy and infrastructure suppliers, research institutes and
public and private actors to present their latest progress
in the field.
The Estoril Congress Centre is very well located, near the
sea and in the heart of the Lisbon costal area, with the famous
Estoril, Cascais and Sintra close by.
If your agenda allows it, the Lisbon area is famous for the
various opportunities it has to offer, in complement to the
2004 EET professional achievements. With several major events
taking place in Portugal and in the Lisbon area during 2004,
this could be a further opportunity for you to enjoy our country.
We are sure that the 2004 EET will be a great opportunity
for you to connect to the EV world and to urban sustainable
mobility. We invite you to visit, see and experiment the many
exciting pleasures and adventures that await you in Estoril
next March.
We wish all participants an enjoyable stay in Portugal |
