WEENTECH Future Transport Workshop

The WEENTECH Future Transport & Electrification Workshop is an intensive, hands-on event focused on the seismic shift occurring in the automotive and transport sectors. Coventry, as the heart of the UK’s motor industry, provides the perfect backdrop for this exploration of EV (Electric Vehicle) technology, battery storage, and autonomous transit systems. This workshop is designed for those who want to get "under the hood" of future mobility, moving beyond high-level trends into the technical realities of electrification.

The workshop curriculum is divided into technical modules. Participants will engage with the latest in battery chemistry—exploring solid-state battery developments and the challenges of large-scale battery recycling. Another key focus is the infrastructure required for mass electrification, specifically the deployment of ultra-fast charging networks and the impact of EV charging on local power grids. Unlike a standard conference, this workshop emphasizes peer-to-peer learning through "Design Sprints," where mixed teams of engineers and planners work together to solve a specific transport challenge, such as designing a zero-emission last-mile delivery system for a mid-sized city.

In addition to technical skills, the event covers the evolving regulatory landscape for autonomous vehicles in the UK. Experts will lead sessions on vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication and the cybersecurity measures necessary to protect connected transport networks. With the UK government’s commitment to phasing out internal combustion engines, this WEENTECH workshop is a vital resource for professionals looking to stay ahead of the curve. It offers a unique opportunity to interact with prototypes and simulation software that are defining the next decade of transport. Attendees will leave with a certificate of participation and a robust network of contacts in the rapidly expanding field of green mobility.
