VTW Content Program 2026

Experience. Intelligence. Validation. Powertrain. Under One Roof.


Vehicle Technology Week (VTW) brings together the full lifecycle of modern vehicle development as the industry undergoes its architectural transformation toward software-defined, intelligent, and electrified platforms.

VTW unifies four strategic conference tracks – Vehicle Design & Cabin, Intelligent Vehicle, Vehicle Testing, and Advanced Chassis & Powertrain – into a single, integrated content program designed for engineers, technologists, and decision-makers shaping the road to 2030.

 

How Vehicle Tech Week works


One event. One content program. Multiple specialist tracks.

Vehicle Tech Week is structured around four deeply technical conference tracks, each offering the depth of a standalone conference, now enhanced by shared access across the entire VTW ecosystem.

  • Attend sessions within your primary discipline
  • Cross-pollinate ideas across adjacent domains
  • Experience how experience, intelligence, validation, and propulsion systems connect at the vehicle-architecture level

Each track shares a common expo floor, networking programme, and strategic vision, reflecting how vehicles are engineered today.

Vehicle Testing Track

Vehicle Testing Track

Part of the Vehicle Tech Week content program, testing has become the integration layer connecting UX, autonomy, safety, and powertrain.

The Vehicle Testing Track focuses on:

  • Simulation-first validation models
  • Digital twins and AI-in-the-loop testing
  • ADAS, NVH, and 800V thermal validation
  • Shift-left strategies for SDV development

By operating within VTW, testing professionals gain visibility into upstream design decisions and downstream system performance requirements.
