2025 Seminar Themes

We are pleased to launch our expression of interest (EOI) to present at this year’s Cenex Expo. Each year we run a similar process, contacting UK and international stakeholders from across the Net Zero and Connected Automated Mobility (CAM) communities, requesting EOIs to present within our seminar programme.

Our Cenex Expo seminar programme this year aims to:

Showcase state-of-the-art technology developments and industry initiatives in Net Zero transport and the supporting energy infrastructure as well as in Connected Automated Mobility (CAM).
Disseminate learning from research and demonstration projects.
Provide updates on policy and market trends driving innovation.
Explore “what next?” for both sectors.

The programme will be focused around three thematic areas as follows:

the Transition to Net Zero
the Transition to Connected Automated Mobility
cross cutting and Cross Sector Technology Transfer

The expression of interest programme is open to UK and international organisations to propose speakers, thereby helping ensure the seminar programme has the latest insights from a range of expert speakers, reflecting the diversity within the Net Zero and CAM audiences.

Presentations can be related either to technology, market, supply chain or policy developments. Timescales for consideration include the lead up to the phasing out of new cars that rely solely on internal combustion engines by 2030, as well as the longer timescales through to 2050.

For the Transition to Net Zero themes, we will look at market development and innovation across technology areas including:

Design, Engineering and Test
Advanced Powertrain electrification technologies including batteries and Power Electronics, Machines and Drives
Vehicle engineering for Zero Emission Vehicles
Hydrogen technologies including fuel cells and hydrogen internal combustion engines
EV Charging and Vehicle-to-Grid

We are looking for speakers to discuss the key innovations, market opportunities and challenges under the following four themes, please click on the blue boxes below to see more information.

Developing Future Markets for Next Generation Net Zero Transport

Game Changing Technology Innovations

Building a Sustainable Supply Chain

Setting the Strategy to deliver Net Zero

Energy for Transport

For the Transition to Connected Automated Mobility theme, speaker topics will split into the following five sub themes, please click on the purple boxes below to see more information.

Design, Engineering and Test for ADAS and CAM

We want to hear:

About progress with the design, engineering and testing for the key enabling technologies for ADAS and CAM including advanced sensing technologies, data management tools, Artificial Intelligence, control systems and cyber security solutions.
From UK leaders in simulation software and laboratory and test-track based Verification and Validation of CAM solutions for approval and authorisation.
About how the latest updates and forward-facing views as to how Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) will enable the development of smarter, safer, and more energy-efficient vehicles.

The CAM opportunity

Update on CAM legislation

Early market opportunities for CAM and learning from real-world deployments

Infrastructure for Connected Mobility

Design, Engineering and Test for ADAS and CAM

We want to hear:

About progress with the design, engineering and testing for the key enabling technologies for ADAS and CAM including advanced sensing technologies, data management tools, Artificial Intelligence, control systems and cyber security solutions.

For the Cross cutting and Cross Sector Technology Transfer theme

Cross Sector Technology Transfer

This cross-cutting theme seeks to address the opportunities for supply chain and market development for both Net Zero and CAM technologies arising from developments in automotive, agricultural and construction equipment, aerospace, marine and defence applications, identifying the different sector’s requirements, each sector’s technology roadmaps for Net Zero and CAM and the shared opportunities for technology transfer.

We would like to hear from engineers defining product requirements for the different application areas as well as technology developers advancing innovations applicable for use cases across these sectors. We also want to hear about the key enabling software and hardware technologies that will shape the design of next generation vehicles, equipment and vessels.

Sessions from our seminar programme will be presented in various engaging formats, ranging from:

Presentations and panel discussions
Debates
Tech talks
