The Indian automotive sector is one of the largest growth markets of the next decade. More and more Indians, especially in large urban centers, are profiting from the booming Indian economy and investing in motor vehicles. As a result, traditional Indian automobile and motorcycle manufacturers, their international counterparts and globally active suppliers are expecting sales to continue increasing.

Where is this market headed technologically? Automobiles of all sizes are equipped with more and more electronic systems to deal with the universal need to preserve the environment and reduce fuel consumption. And car owners are always interested in new technologies for enhanced comfort, security, information or communication. This symposium will give insight into automotive electronics from an Indian perspective including the technical and socio-economic trends that are intrinsically linked to the world of modern mobility.

The symposium takes place on September 03, 2008 and will cover the following topics:

• Components and systems for enhanced safety
• Components and systems relating to comfort
• Infotainment and telematics
• Novel drive systems & fuel concepts / hybrid solutions
• Engine management / fuel effi ciency / eco-friendliness
• Power-train electronics
• Bus systems and programming issues
• On- and off-board diagnostics
• Advanced lighting solutions
• Challenges for electronics in future low-cost cars
