EUROPE'S MOST IMPORTANT TRADE FAIR FOR POWERTRAIN DESIGN, PRODUCTION, COMPONENTS AND TECHNOLOGY - THE ONLY EVENT TO HOST THE INTERNATIONAL ENGINE OF THE YEAR AWARDS

Engine Expo celebrates its 14th anniversary with leading companies from around the world exhibiting the latest engine components, materials and manufacturing technologies, along with a free-to-attend Open Technology Forum plus the International Engine of the Year Awards. Engine Expo is the must-attend event for car, truck and bus engine design and manufacturing teams in 2012. In 2012 the show will once again incorporate the Electric and Hybrid Technology Pavilion which was launched in 2010.

The highly respected Engine Expo Open Technology Forum is FREE to attend and situated within the exhibition halls. Here you can participate in discussions about the latest technologies, concepts, environmental and development issues with the world’s leading experts in powertrain design, development and manufacturing.

Highlighting the ongoing recovery of Europe's automotive industry, visitors came from as far afield as India, Japan and Korea to see the very latest developments in Engine design and build technology.

Engine Expo is the most important international trade show in Europe for engine technology – the ONLY event to feature the International engine of the Year Awards. Already regarded as a key event for car, bus and truck engine design and manufacture, in 2012 the show will once again incorporate the Electric and Hybrid Technology Pavilion which was launched in 2010.
