OEM Car Body Presentations

Recently launched car body projects will be featured at EuroCarBody 2022. Each of these car bodies will be explained in detail via

- a 50-minute technical presentation given by the corresponding OEM developers, covering all important aspects of the car body’s development, construction and production. Presenters may choose to include some technological “Deep Dives” into specific aspects of the car body project, which will be addressed in greater detail.

- a 40-minute public and individual Q&A session of the speakers with the audience, assembled around the corresponding body-in-white exhibit, forming the “Automotive Circle”!

Body-in-white exhibition

Car bodies presented will be exhibited and available for individual inspection by all conference participants during all three conference days.

Sneak Preview

Meet the OEM speaker teams at their body-in-white exhibit, even before their presentation: For the Sneak Preview, the speaker teams presenting on a given conference day will be available at their car body one hour before the start of the conference day to answer your first questions and provide first explanations.

New Car Show

Inspect the full vehicles that correspond to the car bodies presented: During every lunch break, the full vehicles will be opened and can be inspected by everyone. Speakers and Advisory Board members will be available for demonstrations and further questions. Use this opportunity to study the implementation of the car body in the full vehicle and to widen your contacts.

Networking

With its unique audience of car body engineering experts from all over the world, EuroCarBody offers ample opportunity for networking and an intensive exchange of views and information – especially during the informal networking dinners on the evenings of the first two conference days.

EuroCarBody Awards

An inherent part of the EuroCarBody conference is the bestowal of the EuroCarBody Awards, the highest accolade in car body engineering worldwide. The car bodies presented at the conference will enter one of two separate competitions, namely:

·       EUROCARBODY AWARD | PREMIUM SEGMENT, comprising car bodies that have been developed for a predominantly technology-oriented, premium vehicle segment, or for the

·       EUROCARBODY AWARD | VOLUME SEGMENT, comprising car bodies that have been developed for a predominantly cost-oriented, volume-production vehicle segment

The Award winners are determined by a vote on five technical categories. Votes are cast by

·       all conference participants (60% of the total voting results)

·       EuroCarBody’s OEM Advisory Board members (40%)

The 2022 EuroCarBody Awards will be announced at the end of the conference.
