You’ll find a great deal of information in this issue of your DVN newsletter. It was a really busy week for the DVN team with the Shanghai Workshop, the launch of the benchmark activity with A2Mac1, and the launch of the Study.
DVN members have been showing a lot of interest in the lighting benchmark activity, which demonstrate to us that we were correct to have taken that decision.
The Workshop was intense. Really, a day and half is no longer enough to have 10 automaker presentations; 10 from tier-1 suppliers, and around 15 from tier-2s. Add in the three panel discussions —design, ADB, and regulation this time—and there was a squeeze on time for networking and perusing expo booths. So, from now on DVN Workshops will run two full days for more and better value.
We received a lot of good feedback after the event from participants, especially about the panel discussions and the Slido app for interactive Q&A and survey participation. Feel free to contact me or reach out to the DVN team to share your thoughts so we may continue improving the content and technical organization of DVN events and productions. We will be back in Shanghai in one year’s time, in November 2024; lighting is evolving so fast with all the new Chinese EV companies, and DVN is there for it, for you.
In this newsletter I have tried to summarize the Workshop, and you will be able to read much more detail about it in our next monthly report in December.
Also this week: information about the Chinese market, our Fudan University visit, minutes from GRE 89, and thoughts from GTB president. We’re glad you’re here!
Sincerely yours,
