[Live] Sharing of Cutting-Edge Technologies in Electric Control and Drive Motors, Opportunities to Break Through in the Low-Altitude Economy Industry Chain, Prospects for the Electrification Transformation of Commercial Vehicles

As the world focuses on climate change and pursues sustainable development, countries are actively promoting the transformation of their energy structures. The involvement of new energy vehicle (NEV) enterprises in the eVTOL sector is emerging as a major trend in the current transportation landscape, highlighting the importance of integrating these two fields. What sparks will fly when electric vehicles (EVs) meet the low-altitude economy in the future?

From June 20-21, the 2025 SMM (4th) Electric Drive System Conference & Drive Motor Industry Forum, jointly organized by SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd., Hunan Hongwang New Material Technology Co., Ltd., the People's Government of Louxing District, and the National-level Loudi Economic and Technological Development Zone, was grandly held at the Huatian Hotel in Loudi, Hunan!

Themed "New Quality Drive, Low-Altitude Takeoff," this conference delved deeply into the entire industry chain ecosystem of electric drive systems for NEVs and eVTOLs. Discussions centered around core areas such as powertrain system integration, electric drive technology innovation, motor and controller innovations, power solutions for low-altitude aircraft, and the application of innovative raw materials. The conference adopted a unique "1+2+3" forum structure, integrating a high-quality opening ceremony, an industry leader closed-door dinner, an annual technology awards ceremony, precise procurement and supply business matching meetings, and study tours to benchmark enterprises in the new energy industry, creating a comprehensive platform for in-depth exchanges.

This grand event brought together leaders from top-tier enterprises in the industry, authoritative experts from research institutes, and core partners from the entire industry chain. Through sharing cutting-edge technologies, analyzing application scenarios, and engaging in dialogues about the industrial ecosystem, participants jointly explored new development opportunities for NEVs and eVTOL electric drive systems in terms of technological iteration, industrial synergy, and market expansion, thereby facilitating technological breakthroughs and ecological takeoffs in the low-altitude economy and new energy transportation sectors.
