What is H/EV Tech Expo Europe
The H/EV Tech Expo Europe is the central hub where specialists and change-makers from across the continent’s e-mobility ecosystem come together to solve the most difficult technical challenges of our time.
For three days in Stuttgart, Germany, engineers, OEMs, and Tier 1 & 2 innovators experience conference and expo education, networking opportunities and face-to-face demonstrations of the latest technology and solutions from across the globe.
As we face increasing complexity and rapid change, standing together as a unified industry is the only way to establish the technical logic required for success.
