Expression of interest launched

Cenex, the organisers of Cenex Expo 2025, is preparing a comprehensive seminar programme. This programme will engage multiple sectors and widen the reach and influence of the decision makers who are shaping the future of net zero and connected automated mobility.

Both UK and international Net Zero and CAM experts and industry stakeholders   have submitted expressions of interest to speak at the event, ensuring the programme reflects a broad mix of expert insights into technology, market, supply chain, and policy developments.

“From infrastructures, technologies, innovations, supply chains, legislation and more, rarely is there a week without a new topic emerging,” comments Cenex CEO, Robert Evans. “Already the market developments from Net Zero and CAM are rapidly filtering into other sectors, including off-road applications.  The Cene Expo seminar programme will help shape industry and Government priorities for the period of 2025 to 2030 

Network with all the industry influencers

Annual attendance of Cenex Expo, which will take place on 3-4 September this year at UTAC Millbrook, exceeds more than 4,500 influential partners and industry experts, including investors, government officials, OEMs, tier 1 suppliers, vehicle manufacturers, energy specialists and 50+ members of the press. The event’s seminar programme is regarded by most as the highlight in their annual calendar.

Presentation formats range from Tech talks, debates, and panel discussions, showcasing the latest state-of-the-art technologies, learnings from R&D programmes, market trends and policy updates. Transition timescales considered include the run in to phase out of new cars reliant on internal combustion engines by 2030, as well as the longer timescale of net zero by 2050. 

Transition to Net Zero remains one of the overarching themes. Presentation proposals are invited to cover five sub-themes:

• Expanding net zero transport products into future markets and the policy innovations and fuels required to facilitate wider decarbonisation beyond automotive, e.g. light vehicles and HGV.

• Simulation, testing and validation of the latest game changing battery, power electronics, machines and drives innovations.

• Building a sustainable supply chain, from material supply to product design mindful of the full lifecycle.

• International, national, regional and local policies that have helped to inform transport and energy strategies.

• Addressing the accessibility of energy for transport, including EV charging, V2G, wireless charging, hydrogen and biofuels

Running concurrently, the Transition to Connected Automated Mobility seminar programme will comprise five sub-themes:

• What and where are the market and supply chain development opportunities? Including roadmaps and timescales.

• Current status of CAM policies and legislation, including procedures that will inform the standards and enforcement regimes.

• Case studies and lessons learned by early-adopters of passenger transport or logistic trials in port, airports, agriculture or mining.

• Design and interconnectivity testing of corridor, cloud-edge and location infrastructures to support CAM developments.

• Safety simulation updates for driverless vehicles and the deployment of ADAS, AI and safety sensor systems, including new cybersecurity solutions.

For the cross-sector technology transfer section of the programme, Cenex Expo invites input from engineers that are involved in defining Net Zero and CAM requirements for agricultural and construction equipment, aerospace, marine and defence applications. In particular the transferrable software and hardware technologies that will likely shape future designs.
