About HEVC 08
Following the success of HEVC 06, this event is your
opportunity to shape the future of Hybrid and Ecofriendly vehicles. The key objective of the event is to
raise awareness and stimulate debate on Hybrid and
Eco-friendly vehicles, and through a combination of
presentations and workshops, formulate future strategy.
Government, industry and academia must act together
to develop a cohesive, long-term future strategy that
effectively reduces vehicle emissions, and this is your
chance to influence the debate.

Electric and Eco-friendly Vehicles. The event will be
