Autopromotec Conference presents a space dedicated to innovation

Editorial Staff

On the occasion of the 2018 edition, Autopromotec Conference, scheduled from 13 to 14 June at the Unipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno (Bologna), has foreseen an important novelty: the creation of an Innovation Area that will host about 20 organizations among research laboratories, university spin-offs and start-ups. The matchmaking service is active.
On 13-14 June the Unipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno will host the second edition of the Autopromotec Conference, the convention for the automotive aftermarket world, focused on the topic "Workshop 4.0: digitalisation and new mobility trends, the future of car repair". During the event, we will hear from Italian and international speakers, representatives of institutions, technical and scientific research and major global players in the automotive industry, discussing the latest trends in the industry and their impact on the world of car repairs: connectivity and digitisation, electric cars, self-driving, shared mobility.

Moreover, the 2018 edition will feature an important new development: the Innovation Area, which will host about 20 organisations including research laboratories, university spin-offs and start-ups, selected in collaboration with Aster, a company promoting innovation and technological transfer in the Emilia-Romagna Region. On display will be 3D printing, devices and applications for connected cars, research in the fields of advanced mechanics and materials, patents for electric mobility in search of industrial partners, with the presentation of prototypes and the presence of designers for technical insights. To this end, starting from today the matchmaking portal is active on the Autopromotec Conference website, so that registered conference participants can book meetings during the event with the companies that most interest them.
 
Exhibitors in the Innovation Area:

The car maintenance features allow you to book maintenance work online and via app. CRM module available for car workshop and car dealers." 

TIME

TIME stands for Integrated Technology for Electric Mobility – a 'retrofit' solution for turning used combustion engine vehicles in electric vehicles. TIME's system and integration methodology differ from traditional approaches to 'retrofit' for greater attention to interfacing problems between electric powertrain components and between powertrain and vehicle. This approach guarantees greater product quality, considerable reliability and performance comparable to those of electric cars produced by car manufacturers. A unique feature of the TIME system concerns the transformation procedure of the donor vehicle and kit installation phases. These steps consist mainly of a series of mechanical operations aimed at installing pre-assembled and sealed macro-components on the vehicle. Therefore, transformation operations can run using normal workshop equipment and mechanical-electric training personnel.
