Video Presentation

1. Preparing your presentation:

  • Presentation for both oral and poster sessions are the same. (No one-page-posters are needed)
  • We recommend 16:9 format for better screen showing. Presentation in 4:3 format is acceptable as well.
Download template 16:9 and instruction here
  • Start with a short introduction about presenter’s name, organization, and research areas.
  • Presentation is maximum 15 minutes long.

2. Create your presentation video:

  • Record your presentation in MP4 video format.
  • Use good microphone in a room without echo to record a clear voice.
  • The main window should be used for the PPTs. The personal face can appear in sub-window or appear in the main window for short periods. The personal appearance is not obligatory.
  • The video quality should be good enough for screen showing. The resolution of 1280 x 729 or higher is recommended.
  • The size of the video file should be kept under 30MB. Otherwise streaming speed for viewers will be slow.
  • A good tool to create own video is Zoom. It is free and can be downloaded from internet.
  • The video can be created by other programs as well but must be uploaded in MP4 format.

3. Upload your video and other materials

Deadline for uploading of paper presentations: 9 August 2020.

  • The name of the video for uploading MUST be the combination of Track number and Paper ID, “TTx-SD-xxxxxx.mp4”, or Special session number and Paper ID,  “SSx-SD-xxxxxx.mp4”.
  • You can upload other materials via this link but use right names, like “Tutorial-x.pdf”, “xxxxx.mp4”, etc.
  • It is possible to upload the improved version with the same name. The old version will be replaced.
  • The uploaded materials are protected and can be viewed only by the registered participants. The registered participants are required to comply with the confidential regulations about using the materials. Any misuse of the materials by any individual participant will be in breach of copyright law and the consequence will be out of the responsibility of the conference organizer.
Upload here:

4. If you cannot manage to record the presentation yourself and even with the help of your colleagues, please send email to the conference secretariat. We will help you to record the presentation.

Key Note Speakers

Dave Fulton

Director of Electric Drive Innovation, BorgWarner

David Fulton is the Director of Electric Drive Innovation at BorgWarner, a system leader for combustion, hybrid, and electric vehicles.  In this role, he leads product & process technology development to provide competitive advantage in xEV powertrains.  Prior to joining BorgWarner, David spent more than 20 years at Remy International, where he held engineering and management positions of increasing responsibility.  He is inventor/co-inventor on 30 U.S. patents, a licensed professional engineer, and a member of SAE and IEEE.  David received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering from Valparaiso University and Northwestern University, respectively.

As vehicle electrification increases so does the need for a wide variety of electrical architectures suited to various customer needs. Aside from the battery, transmission and power electronics components this includes a multitude of machines optimally designed for different applications and positions in the propulsion system. The requirements, constraints and optimization targets considered during the design of an electrical machine vary significantly between the architectures and applications. Moreover, considerations regarding commonality, manufacturability, existing production capacity and scalability can guide design decisions to reduce costs and time to market. BorgWarner has developed a wide portfolio of electrical machines suited for most automotive propulsion architectures through a combination of extensive knowledge of electrical machine design and optimization, high fill factor winding technologies well suited for mass production and deep system level understanding of the application requirements. This keynote will address some of the architectural considerations and outline current and future trends for vehicle electrification and the electrical machine they require.

Nils-Gunnar Vågstedt, PhD

Head of Innovation R&D, Scania
Chairman of Executive Board,
Swedish Electromobility Centre (SEC)

Nils-Gunnar Vågstedt is managing the innovation activities and processes at Scania, a world leading company on trucks and buses. He obtained his PhD in Vehicle Dynamics from Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, in 1995. He has 25 years of working experiences at Scania to lead research and development covering mechanical, electrical, active safety and other aspects. In the last decade, he dedicated himself to inspiriting and managing the development of electric and hybrid powertrains for heavy-duty vehicles. Nils-Gunnar is active in promoting the national academic research on transport electrification in Sweden and acts as the chairman of the executive board of Swedish Electromobility Centre (SEC) in the last 5 years. He is also engaged in international standardization work and is co-chair in SAE J2954 wireless charging group for commercial vehicles. Nils-Gunnar has been involved in many important innovation projects at Scania and holds patents in the area of brake systems, electronics systems, and electrification solutions.

Electrification with efficient e-powertrains is spreading through the whole spectrum of applications of goods and people transportation, including those for heavy and long-distance commercial operation. Electrified powertrain solutions blend in, spreading from micro hybrid, via hybrid and plugins to full electric and electric roads. Batteries as well as fuel cell and hydrogen will be parts of the design puzzle. One thing will be in common; all of the electrified powertrains will use electric machines. The transition speed over to these solutions heavily relates to total cost for the operation. But the transition may as well be both hindered and accelerated by competing and new functionality. When designing efficient electrical machines for heavy goods and people transportation, other design criteria than usually applied to automotive need to be considered too. In order to handle the still diverse toolbox of potential solutions, Scania incorporate a core feature in its approach to innovation: modularity. This keynote aims to address the drivers for multitude of solutions for e-powertrains and how modularity may maximize the possibility to offer the customer a dedicated solution.
