Thermal Management Systems Symposium

October 2-3, 2024 | Plymouth, Michigan

Connect with the Global Thermal Management Community


Electric vehicles bring a host of new challenges to the industry: how to keep things cool around a hot battery; how to conserve energy and reduce engine emissions; how to improve the cabin environment; and how to meet global standards and regulations. This year’s Thermal Management Systems Symposium (TMSS) will bring the industry together to tackle these important questions and much more.

In two productive days, you’ll get up to speed on regulations, technology and industry trends, and interact with engineers who do what you do. This is where important conversations happen. Don’t miss this vital opportunity to interact with and network the best of the best in the field of ground vehicle thermal systems technology and thermal systems management.

Topics covered will include:

  • Thermal systems technology and management
  • Advanced internal combustion engine technology
  • Electric vehicle and hybrids development
  • Global emissions regulations
  • Fuels and engine oil developments
  • Commercial, heavy-duty and off-road ground vehicles
  • Emerging and supporting tech
