The 2009 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC09) will be held in Dearborn, Michigan, USA. The conference is co-sponsored by IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) and IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS). This year the conference will feature the theme of sustainability: hybrid, plug-in, fuel cell and battery technology. The conference also features keynote speakers from top executives of the major automotive companies, and a banquet at the Henry Ford Museum.
On behalf of the VPPC’09 organizing committee, I welcome all of you to join us in Michigan on September 7-11, 2009 for a great event dedicated to the sustainability of future transportation through the developments and applications of hybrid, plug-in and battery powered and propelled vehicles.
The conference will be held in Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit at the first-class Fairlane Center conference facility of the University of Michigan-Dearborn and at the 4-star Ritz-Carlton official conference hotel.
We feature a number of great authoritative speakers and luminaries invited from government, OEMs, and suppliers to keynote our luncheons, dinners and plenary sessions.
Additionally, a unique feature for this conference is the introduction of the "Technical Forum" to allow those that do not wish to write a regular paper to present their work in parallel with a large number of regular technical sessions.
