Global sales for diesel engines are expected to grow at a brisk 5.8% CAGR over the next five years, and the Asia Pacific region is projected for more than half of new demand. In China, the thawing out of the housing market has led to faster than expected growth for construction machinery, including bulldozers, diggers, and dump trucks.

Furthering its support of the thriving heavy duty industry in China, and the Asia Pacific Region, Duxes will host its annual Heavy Duty Week 2017 in Shanghai on November 17-20, 2017. The event will consist of two consecutive two-day summits, the 3 rd Asia Diesel Engine Summit 2017 and the 10 th China Off-Highway Vehicle Summit 2017, both of which will gather a full slate of speakers from leading companies in the field, government agencies, and industry associations.

The diesel engine summit will address a wide range of topics, including emissions standards across Asia, emerging markets in China and India, diesel quality considerations, technical improvements, and technologies in high-demand, such as new energy vehicles. The off- highway vehicle summit will likewise cover important issues at the forefront of the industry, notably government initiatives in China, innovation related to lightweight, hybrid, intelligent manufacturing, and telematics, as well as the aftermarket business for off-highway vehicles.

eMove360° Europe 2017 (October 17-19, 2017, Messe München) is the first international trade fair for Mobility 4.0. It presents the complete range of next generation and sustainable mobility solutions, from Urban & Mobile Design, materials and processing solutions, connected and autonomous driving to electronics and infotainment. Target audience of the exhibition are developers and designers, IT professionals, professional industrial buyers such as fleet managers, decision-makers in cities and communities, touristic regions and service providers. The trade fair unites the events MATERIALICA and sMove360° under one Roof.

In 2016, the Chinese Ministry of Environment Protection released the “Evaluation Guidelines for Air Quality in Passenger Vehicles”, which dictate strict standards for the use of potentially hazardous substances that effect air quality in a vehicle’s interior. As of 2017, all major carmakers are in the process of overhauling vehicle production in China, to ensure full regulatory compliance.

In an effort to educate the automotive industry about recent developments, and facilitate the sharing the knowledge, innovation, and best practices, Duxes will host the China International Vehicle Interior Summit 2017 in Shanghai. The two-day event will draw experts in the field, from leading OEMs, government agencies, and non-profit associations.

The summit will explore topics related to vehicle interiors, with a special emphasis on innovative materials, functions, user interfaces, and other features that will be utilized in future vehicles.

Notable presentations will be delivered by representatives of consumer, industry, and research institutions, about the effects of recent legislation, the status of the Chinese market, and studies into the science of air quality in passenger vehicles. Further content from a full range of leading OEMs and technology companies will break down such phenomena as lightweight materials, the integration artificial intelligence into the passenger-vehicle relationship, seat management and safety systems, and other significant technical developments.

Main stakeholders are gathering to discuss the developing mobility solutions and their perspectives in order to overcome the current and future challenges of urban transport and infrastructure overload. The sessions are set up to be interactive for the attendees to get involved into the creative industry-developing process. Use the innovations to bring customers experience to the whole new level!

The success of the North American automotive industry is reflected in the fact that Automotive Testing Expo in Michigan in 2017 is set to be even bigger and better than in recent years!

Over 300 exhibiting companies will be out to demonstrate that their products are able to help with the ultimate aim of eliminating recalls.

In addition, co-locating with Automotive Testing Expo USA will once again be Engine Expo USA and for the first time, Automotive Interiors Expo USA.

“The latest generation of engine and transmission components on show this week has really been impressive,” said Graham Johnson, managing director of UKI Media & Events, organizer of Engine Expo in Novi, Michigan, USA. “And visitors have benefited from seeing almost 100 advanced powertrain testing and validation technologies in the neighboring Automotive Testing Expo too. It’s been a highly enjoyable and educational week.”

Several exhibitors took the opportunity to introduce state-of-the-art products and new technologies at the Suburban Collection Showplace. Among the unveilings was Alphabox, a new diagnostic system for two- and four-stroke diesel engines by Jaquet. Providing continuous monitoring of the state of an engine, Alphabox can simultaneously diagnose turbochargers in parallel with the motor itself.

“Measurements on two-stroke engines have confirmed that Alphabox can support the operators of fleets of diesel engines, reduce operating costs and extend the lifetime of the engines to a maximum, by ensuring that the diesel engines operate in an optimal thermodynamic and mechanical condition,” said booth rep Eleanor Low. “As a result, Alphabox has enormous potential for employment in both two- and four-stroke engines, independent of their application.”

Automotive Interiors Expo USA exhibitors represent the A-Z of car interiors, with our exhibitors’ products found in vehicles from just about every car manufacturer you can name, from GM, Ford, Toyota, and Chrysler through to BMW, Volkswagen, Kia, and Nissan to name just a few! Specialty finishes are a strong theme of the expo, with some companies offering plastic compounding and masterbatching, metalized plastics and chrome-look plastics, and others presenting hot foil stamping, film insert molding and styrenic finishes. You’ll find a wide range of fabrics, acoustical materials, shape-forming materials and foams, fasteners and adhesive systems, lighting and more! The show is a must-visit for Tier 1 suppliers as well as for interior design teams from car manufacturers wanting to keep up with the rapidly changing world of materials, finishes and technologies that contribute to 'touch and feel'.
