This document announces an international conference on the design, systems and components of 48 volt vehicles. The conference will provide an overview of the advantages of 48 volt systems and discuss solutions to challenges in components and system architectures. Experts from automakers like BMW and Volvo will present on topics like 48 volt batteries, components, and cooperation between suppliers and automakers. Attendees will learn about 48 volt systems from leaders in the field and have opportunities to network.

2. Dear Colleague,
The electric power supply can be seen as one of the key enablers for new automotive technologies. Lower
weight, higher efficiency and better reliability are major demands on new supply systems. Here the new 48 V
voltage level will be a major step forward. It will create interesting benefits for new automobiles - not only the
often mentioned mild hybrid solutions or advanced climate systems can be realized.
Nevertheless, many of us might be reminded of the 42 V hype more than 10 years ago where interesting ideas
vanished silently. The time was not right; light bulbs depend on 12 V; voltage conversion seems to be too com-
plex. Now, the situation has changed significantly. Light bulbs are more or less substituted by LED techniques;
voltage converters became standard with HEV and EV. CO2 reduction demands and new comfort functions
force the OEM to move towards 48 V.
The conference will provide an excellent overview of the general advantages, the required changes in the
power supply system and provide solution strategies to overcome the accompanying problems.
During the conference the key 48 V components and complete system architectures will be discussed. You will
hear about new climate control systems, batteries and cable harnesses to mention only a few. Also, the accom-
panying problems will be discussed intensively. Experts will report on EMC strategies and how simulation can
help with the optimization of 48 V systems.
At this conference we seek to explore and discuss all issues linked to the new voltage level. I am very
pleased that so many prestigious companies have agreed to present their approaches and share their knowl-
edge at this conference.
We hope you can join us in Frankfurt and explore the interesting and significant topics at the first event of this
nature.

Create your own agenda! Is there a burning issue you would love to see discussed that is not on the
agenda? Nominate the subject you would love to hear about and
if there is consensus from your peer group we will endeavour to find an expert to address it, failing
that we will moderate a group discussion on the topic in question.
the group ensures that pros and cons are being mentioned and balanced against each other.
