Vehicular Power Propulsion Conference - Lille 2010

FEMTO-ST co-organizes The 2010 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC) in Lille

The 2010 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC) will be held in Lille, Northern France, in the framework of MEGEVH, French network on hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). The conference is co-sponsored by IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) and IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS). The conference aims to provide a forum for sharing knowledge, experience and creative ideas in vehicle power and propulsion in order to develop and promote *"clean technology"* for future transportation systems. It will include keynote papers by authoritative speakers, technical sessions, tutorial sessions, poster sessions, special and invited sessions.
