Despite the push for a world of electrified vehicles, traditional and other alternative energy sources will remain key contributors of the future mobility landscape. Internal combustion engines may still find use on 70% of light-duty vehicles in 2030. Important developments in fuel economy, emissions, fuel tanks and related components will as a result continue for traditional and hybrid vehicles. Innovations and technology developments in biofuels, natural gas and hydrogen will provide viable options for transportation and will remain important considerations for future product mixes.
For 2022, ITB’s annual conference will draw global experts together to discuss the challenges and advancements related to both traditional liquid fuels and gaseous fuels including hydrogen for all mobility segments.
