Heavy-Duty Engines 2025

18-11-2025 – 19-11-2025 – Colmar, France

Cooperation partners

Call for Papers

The challenges facing the heavy-duty segment can hardly be overcome in isolation. Instead, it is much more important to analyze solutions from the various fields of application and then to identify synergies in a targeted manner. The aim for all applications must be to generate solutions that promote sustainability. In some areas, this may be achieved by electrification, but, on a larger scale, other approaches must be pursued to reduce emissions effectively. The conference "Heavy-Duty Engines" will provide access to a network of high-ranking specialists.

At this MTZ Conference, engine developers and designers of commercial vehicles, mobile machines, marine, and stationary equipment will meet to exchange information about the very latest developments. The 20th conference will be supplemented by tours of the Liebherr-Components and Liebherr-Mining Equipment plants.

On behalf of the Scientific Advisory Board, I cordially invite you to present the latest research and development results of your company/institute. Details for your presentation submission can be found in this Call for Papers. We are looking forward to your participation.

After the conference, your paper will be published as part of the conference proceedings at Springer Vieweg and on the online platforms Springer Link and Springer Professional.
