IVT Autonomous Industrial Vehicle Technology Symposium

Germany, Cologne - February 13 -14, 2019
The symposium will bring together R&D engineers, robotics experts, OEMs, autonomous vehicle systems hardware and software engineers, test and development experts, and heads of design and engineering from around the world to discuss, debate and analyse the growing possibilities and future developments for autonomous vehicle technology, unmanned systems and robotics for commercial and off-highway applications.

Autonomous vehicle technology has the potential to revolutionise the commercial and off-highway vehicle industry by improving safety and dramatically increasing productivity and efficiency while significantly reducing costs. Held alongside the Electric & Hybrid Industrial Vehicle Technology Symposium, the two conferences present the perfect opportunity to meet over 300 industry professionals to discuss and exchange ideas leading to the design and development of the next generation of industrial vehicles. If you want to attend both events, simply sign up for one of our Gold passes.
