About the Event

Europe has fully rolled out the AFIR mandatory charging standards for heavy-duty vehicles, the EU Battery Passport, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and the Zero-Emission Freight Regulation. The global commercial vehicle industry has officially entered a structural transformation phase featuring full electrification, low-carbon development and standardized compliance. As the market with the world's strictest regulatory standards, Europe has become a critical proving ground for Chinese new energy commercial vehicles in terms of technical verification, overseas brand expansion and large-scale mass production.

To address the industry bottlenecks plaguing Chinese new energy commercial vehicles, including difficulties in adapting to European standards, lengthy certification cycles, prominent technical disparities and limited local application scenarios, and to facilitate technical exchange, standard mutual recognition, joint supply chain development and collaborative market exploration between China and Europe in the commercial vehicle sector, Europe-China Commercial Vehicle Technology Conference 2026, hosted by the Automotive Technology Center (ATC), will be held in DoubleTree by Hilton Hannover Schweizerhof, Germany, on September 17–18, 2026.

The summit focuses on heavy-duty trucks, light trucks, new energy buses, hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles, intelligent freight solutions, EU compliance certification and zero-carbon logistics ecosystems, striving to build a world-leading vertical technology summit for China-Europe commercial vehicles. It will bring together regulatory authorities from China and Europe, leading global OEMs, core three-electric supply chain enterprises, hydrogen energy companies, intelligent freight technology providers, European logistics operators and authoritative certification institutions. The event will feature policy analysis, technical benchmarking, case sharing, closed-door in-depth discussions and industrial cooperation signings.
