2027 SUMMIT SUPER EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN: REGISTER HERE
The Future of the Car Summit has closed for another year but we'll be back again next year on 11-13 May 2027. Thank you to all those who attended in-person and online, to our incredible line-up of speakers and sponsors who all greatly contributed to the success of the event.
As regulatory and technological momentum builds behind electric vehicles, consumer uptake remains slower than expected, traditional sales models are evolving, and competition from fast-moving Chinese manufacturers is intensifying.
At the same time, rising tariffs and geopolitical tensions are reshaping global logistics networks. Automakers face higher supply chain and production costs and need to rethink their strategies for sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution. Regulatory demands, from zero-emission mandates to stricter emissions targets, are adding further urgency.
Despite this disruption, investment in EVs, battery tech and smart manufacturing is accelerating. Collaboration across the industry will be key to managing risk and meeting climate goals.
To address these challenges and help shape the future of mobility, The Future of the Car Summit once again brought together global leaders for three days of strategic insights.
All sessions will be available to watch on demand from Friday, 15 May 2026.
