The transport sector is undergoing a significant shift towards alternative powertrains, driven by the UK Government's commitment to ending the sale of petrol and diesel passenger cars by 2030 and increasing support for alternatives. Despite this announcement, internal combustion engines are likely to continue to play a significant role in the passenger car market, particularly through the use of hybrids and sustainable low-carbon fuels such as hydrogen. Additionally, internal combustion engines will remain crucial in other sectors, such as heavy-duty vehicles and off-highway applications, across the globe.

The contributions presented at the International Conference on Powertrain Systems for a Sustainable Future 2023 (London, UK, 29-30 November 2023) delve into the role of internal combustion engines in achieving net-zero transport. The conference also covers developments in a wide range of propulsion systems, including electric, hydrogen internal combustion engines, fuel cells, and sustainable fuels. To achieve a sustainable future for transport, it is essential to deploy all available technologies. To facilitate this understanding, life-cycle analysis of future powertrain systems and energy will be included.

Powertrain Systems for a Sustainable Future serves as a platform for engine, fuels, e-machine, fuel cell, and powertrain experts to closely examine the advancements in powertrain technology required to meet the demands of the net-zero future and global competition in the road transportation, off-highway, marine, and stationary power industries.
