21st International A3PS Conference
ECO-MOBILITY 2026
Sustainable Mobility Technologies in a Changing World
Technology Diversity in Response to Global Competition and Resource Constraints
Eco-Mobility 2026 will take place on November 12th and 13th at Palais Pálffy in Vienna's city center.
Eco-Mobility is a two-day conference on competences and up-to-date developments. Representatives of OEMs and suppliers, of energy providers and R&D institutions as well as public and funding authorities report on activities and strategies in the respective field and the Austrian automotive sector is represented by the A3PS members.
Join us for an insightful conference that addresses the critical theme of "Energy for Mobility - Quo Vadis?" In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, uncertainties regarding market developments and the availability of energy carriers and resources pose significant challenges to competitiveness across various sectors including automotive, rail, marine, off-road, aviation, space, energy and dual-use.
Explore the complexities of energy and raw material supply for transport in a world that is changing at an unprecedented pace and discuss how the availability of energy carriers and critical raw materials will shape the future of mobility and set the course for innovation. This conference will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and experts to share insights and strategies for navigating these uncertainties and fostering resilience through diversification.
Besides of interesting keynote presentations from politics, industry and R&D institutions we offer expert presentations in our five sessions corresponding to the 5 A3PS Expert Groups:
- Battery and Electric Powertrain
- Sustainable Energy Carriers & Energy Converters
- Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Vehicles
- Innovative Materials and Production

The Conference includes Panel Discussions, a Poster Exhibition and Networking with participants, speakers and exhibitors at the Social Evening.
