From June 27-28, 2018, The Future of Composites in Transportation will combine business and networking opportunities with a forum. With innovation at the heart of the event, it introduces new and featured products for the ground transportation field: from driverless cars to buses and coaches, trucks and trains.
The 4 sessions of conferences will involve 11 speakers from America, Europe and the Middle East. The first session will focus on composites as a first-rate solution for transportation discussing lightweight performance, resistance to extreme temperatures, noise insulation, vibration reduction, cost-effective materials and manufacturing solutions as well as increasing mechanical properties thanks to composites.
The improvement of performance and efficiency thanks to composite materials is such a vast topic that it will be covered in 2 conferences underlining that environmentally friendly transportation will imply alternative solutions for a greener future using recycled carbon fibre. Then weight reduction to lower fuel consumption and increase load capacity will be discussed along with dimensional stability of thermoset composite materials, fire retardant laminates and compressed natural gas cylinder.
Finally, the conference on the lowering assembly time and costs in manufacturing will conclude the conference sessions with topics such as parts integration: from multiple components to a single composite part, high performance thermoplastics, large scale production and reduced maintenance for easier handling and installation.
