Graz, Austria, April, 2024: Which drive systems will we encounter in rail and shipping in the future? Which tools and methods will we need to lead the sector into a climate-neutral future and what legal framework conditions and regulations will play a role? These and other questions will be addressed by experts from the industry, development and research at the two-day AVL High Power Systems Conference. The focus will be on energy life cycle management, the use of power-to-X technologies and the use of alternative fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia or methanol.

Claus Graugaard, Chief Technology Officer Onboard Vessel Solutions, Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping: "There is an urgent need for joint action in the shipping industry. The spirit of cooperation between the players across the entire value chain contributes significantly to the goal of decarbonizing the industry. This is also evident at the AVL High Power Systems Conference. The Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping was established to harness the power of collaboration and navigate through the complexity of business frameworks, regulations and technological innovation."

KangKi Lee, Senior Vice President High Power Systems, AVL: "Energy lifecycle management plays a central role in our journey towards a more sustainable shipping industry. One of our priorities is to improve the efficiency of all systems and the entire powertrain as much as possible.
