    OEMs are reshaping their powertrain strategies, expanding their focus on ICE-based solutions that incorporate mild hybrid, full hybrid, and plug-in hybrid technologies. This shift is redefining expectations for fuel systems, combustion performance, and vehicle integration as manufacturers optimize efficiency and capability across a diverse range of drivetrains.

    At ITB’s 2026 conference, you’ll hear how these changes are influencing fuel storage, delivery, materials, and system engineering across the supply chain. The program brings together experts to discuss new technical demands, evolving standards, and innovations driving the next generation of combustion and hybrid vehicles.

    Join us to explore where fuel-based powertrains are headed—and how your organization can stay at the forefront of these developments
