As we are entering into the 21st century, rapid and impelling changes in political, economical and technical environment are ever more imminent..
The common denominator of these changes is globalization, fueling and accelerating global competitions as well as co-operations. Equally, the common thrust is no longer limited to attainment of primary and self-contained competency, progresses explored by discoveries and inroads advanced by innovations are even essential. A forum for sharing knowledge, experience and creative ideas from all over the world would certainly afford us to meet the challenges better.
The IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference 2008 (VPPC 2008) aims to provide a forum for sharing knowledge, experience and creative ideas in vehicle power and propulsion. The theme of the conference is: “Powering Sustainable Mobility”. The challenges of sustainable mobility are energy, environment and safety. Power and Propulsion are the key technologies for clean, efficient and intelligent vehicles towards sustainable mobility. The conference will focus on current issues and future trends in the area of vehicular power systems, propulsion, power electronics, motor drives, etc.
The Organizing Committee has assembled authoritative keynote speeches, informative tutorials, inspiring special sessions, regular technical sessions and international workshop to make the event an excellent opportunity to meet our goals. In addition to technical program, there is also culture and social program, including banquet, culture evening and sightseeing tours.
I trust you will enjoy the conference in this beautiful city of Harbin. I wish you would find spare time to visit other points of interest in China, to explore your experience in this country of old, dynamic with fastest economic growth. With your participation, I am confident the IEEE VPPC 2008 will be successful gathering of engineers, scientists, officers and industrialists to advance our knowledge and foster our friendship and collaboration.
