We have a lot of our customers and people we’ve done business with and worked with attending the show – and as a battery automation supplier we work closely with these guys.

“At AVL we definitely find it valuable to connect with the people in the industry, it is a relatively young industry in terms of the application of batteries into electric vehicles. With our broad range of activities from engineering activities, simulation work as well as test equipment, there’s a broad range of customers that we’d like to meet. This is a great opportunity for us to demonstrate what we can do and connect with the various players in the industry and try and get connected to some new people.”
-- Phil Kingman, Director, Test Bed Systems, AVL
“Having a guy like Bob Galyen, president of Magna E-car chair the technical sessions was an absolute coup. Many visitors to our booth commented on the quality of the speakers, but also Bob as moderator. Keep it coming SmarterShows!”
