Podium at the VTM - the international business convention for automotive & vehicle innovation

29 March 2022

Turin, 29 March 2022 – Taking place at the OGR in Turin, the event will bring together major global automotive and mobility stakeholders
 
On 30 and 31 March Podium Advanced Technologies is attending the second edition of VTM, the international business convention dedicated to vehicle and transportation innovation. Taking place at the OGR in Turin, the event will bring together major global automotive and mobility stakeholders.

Since the first edition of the event, innovation in vehicle and transportation technology has been at the heart of VTM. Sustainability, one of the biggest challenges faced by the automotive and mobility industry, is a central theme shaping this year’s agenda.

Speakers will share their insights on a range of solutions currently adopted by industry, including innovative manufacturing, new mobility solutions, electrification, fuel cell technologies and hydrogen propulsion.

Podium Advanced Technologies has been at the cutting edge of innovation since its first days in 2011 all along its three business lines: road cars, racing cars and motorsport, and battery systems.

In this last segment Podium Advanced Technologies has accumulated over the years unique skills in the development of complete hybrid or full electric powertrain systems. as well as in the design and prototyping of battery packs for supercars, racing and road production cars, railway, and marine, offering an integrated service, from concept to design, development and production.
