Thermal management: A fireside chat

27 Oct 2026
Booth T1338
Day 1 PM – Validating advanced technologies
Thermal management has evolved from a secondary "cooling" task into a central architectural pillar for vehicle development. As OEMs transition towards hybrids and EVs,  the challenge is no longer just about "getting rid of heat" but looking at Thermal Management from a systems engineering approach.  Come hear experts address this and issues around simulation, validation and testing to help vehicles manage energy flow across the entire vehicle to maximize range and safety.
