Register now: Advanced Manufacturing and Sustainability

Sustainability has shifted from a marketing checkbox to a hard manufacturing reality. With regulations tightening, material costs fluctuating, and consumers demanding greener vehicles, automotive manufacturers must fundamentally rethink how they build cars. This livestream explores how cutting-edge production technologies are enabling the industry to meet aggressive environmental targets without sacrificing efficiency or profitability – and why getting this right could be the ultimate competitive differentiator.

Key discussion areas:

• Making the circular economy work in practice – Real-world strategies for recycled materials, battery second-life programmes, and closed-loop manufacturing that go beyond pilot projects to production scale
• Manufacturing's carbon challenge – How megacasting, advanced joining, and AI-optimised processes are slashing energy consumption and emissions while improving productivity
• Navigating the regulatory maze – Staying ahead of recycled content mandates, carbon border taxes, and ESG reporting requirements while keeping vehicles affordable
