11th International AVL Exhaust Gas and Particulate Emissions Forum
Since the early 2000s, the International AVL Exhaust Gas and Particulate Emissions Forum has served as one of the most important specialist conferences in the field of exhaust gas aftertreatment and the associated metrological challenges within the engine and vehicle industry.
To improve local air quality effectively, the requirements placed on internal combustion engines regarding CO2 and pollutant emissions are continuously being tightened. These environmental regulations require the widespread use of efficient exhaust gas aftertreatment technologies. These technologies must achieve optimal performance values under all application-specific conditions to meet future requirements.
The automotive and engine industries are currently experiencing the deepest upheaval in their history. Electrification, digitalization, autonomous driving and flexible use are leading to major changes. To guarantee the efficiency and environmental compatibility of all internal combustion engines, existing technologies must be further developed, and new solutions must also be found for exhaust gas aftertreatment using alternative fuels. We must continue along the development path towards a pollutant-free and CO2-neutral internal combustion engine.
The 11th International AVL Exhaust Gas and Particulate Emissions Forum will take place from March 3 - 4, 2020, in the “Forum am Schlosspark” in Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart. Top-class speakers from Germany and abroad will present the latest results of the enhancements of low-emission propulsions and report on current results in exhaust gas aftertreatment, CO2 reduction, reduction of air pollution, regenerative fuels, hybridized propulsions, well-to-wheel considerations and new exhaust gas measurement technology. This informative conference will also include an exhibition with a presentation on the latest solutions in the field of exhaust gas measurement technology.
Similar to previous forums, we are expecting over 250 national and international guests in the “Forum am Schlosspark” in Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart. During more than 20 exciting technical sessions, the expert audience will be presented with current solutions for the implementation of exhaust gas legislation and will also have the opportunity to engage in technical discussions and expert talks.
On behalf of AVL Deutschland GmbH and the members of the Program Advisory Board, I wish all conference participants an interesting conference, exciting discussions and a pleasant stay in Ludwigsburg.
We look forward to welcoming you in March 2020 to the beautiful residence city of Ludwigsburg.
On behalf of the Program Advisory Board
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gennadi Zikoridse
