April 25, 2008

UC Davis is co-organizing and co-sponsoring the first international conference on plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), set for July 22-24 in San Jose, Calif.

The time is right for Plug-In 2008, "a gathering with a focus on a technology that represents one of the most viable near-term ways to get to a greener future," said Tom Turrentine, director of the UC Davis Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Research Center.

Plug-In 2008 will bring together automotive manufacturers, component suppliers, electric utilities, government agencies, academia, the environmental community and more to hear about the most current technical research, the business case for PHEVs, the impact of current policies and regulations, and clean-tech entrepreneurs' ideas to enhance and expand the PHEV market.
