About the session

Session 2B - Electric Vehicles – Are they the road transport of the future?

Dr Zhigang Sun

As we move toward a net-zero future, electric vehicles (EVs) will play a prominent role in reducing the environmental impact of road transportation, leading to greater energy efficiency and less pollution.  In this presentation, we will explore the technologies improving the performance of EVs, discuss the impact of EVs on the transportation and energy sectors, and highlight the shortfalls of pure EV systems and the potential for hydrogen in the transportation sector.

Nigel Schofield, Professor - Electrical Engineering, University of Huddersfield
