EVPRO is the 1st show-conference dedicated to the industry and to the technologies of electric vehicles, which will be held at Fiera Milano Rho on 16 and 17 November 2010.
Organized by Artenergy Publishing, leading company in integrated "cross-media" communication in the renewable energies and sustainability sectors, EVPRO 2010 will shine its spotlight on a sector, that of electric vehicles, destined to develop and grow significantly in the next few years.
The increasing attention of consumers towards the environment, the ever stringent limits to CO2 emissions and the preoccupation for climate changes, in fact, will cause strong growth in the demand for electric vehicles in the next five years: according to Frost&Sullivan, by 2015 in Europe there will be almost 500 thousand of these vehicles, and Italy, together with the UK, Scandinavia, France and Spain, will make up for 93% of sales of this market.
Alongside the exhibition area, the two days of conferences of EVPRO 2010 will deal in depth with the most topical subjects connected to the development and increase in use of electric and hybrid vehicles, which involve the automotive industry, producers of energy and utilities, central governments, local institutions, and investors. If, on the one hand, in fact, the most important automotive companies are betting on this market segment, on the other it is necessary to speed up the development of the network of infrastructures (charging stations for the vehicles) and research for the production of new and ever more efficient models. Moreover, with regards to the increase in use of electric vehicles, there are incentive policies and subsidies which are fundamental for their acquisition.
