At the 12th International Engine Congress 2025 organized by ATZlive and VDI Wissensforum, experts in engine development and fuel specialists from all over the world will meet to shed light on the future role of the combustion engine and non-fossil fuels from a global perspective. The congress takes a practice-orientated approach to the entire system of engine technology: from energy generation to energy storage and energy conversion.

You can look forward to keynotes by Matthias Zink (Schaeffler AG and CLEPA) and Michael Fleiss (Aurobay) on the first day of the congress as well as by Dr. Thomas Becker (BMW), Konstantin K. Kriegelsteiner (Isuzu Motors) and Dr. David Bothe (Frontier Economics) on the second day. A panel discussion on the topic "The new market-focused role of the IC engine in climate protection!" will round off the congress.

Key topics of the International Engine Congress 2025 are:

• carbon-neutral combustion engines from a global perspective
• CO₂ recycling as a key topic for reFuels
• reFuels from an investor‘s perspective
• further development potentials and sustainability for the combustion engine
• hydrogen and other sustainable energy sources
• legal and technological differences in the markets.

Three Thematic Pillars

The International Engine Congress is based on three thematic pillars: namely the parallel sessions "passenger car engine technology", "commercial vehicle engine technology" and "sustainable fuels & energy". By bringing together passenger car and commercial vehicle engine developers as well as fuel experts, the exchange of experience is to be promoted both nationally and internationally within the multi-track congress.

The event is primarily aimed at engineers and technicians in the industry or persons involved in research and teaching who are engaged in the optimization of the traditional development areas of the combustion engine or the advancement of procedures and systems to produce conventional or renewable fuels and lubricants. The lectures will be equally attractive for chemists and biologists who work in this industry. The focus will be on both diesel and spark-ignition engines (gasoline/gas) for passenger and commercial vehicles and off-highway applications.
