Diesel Progress Summit program set

The complete conference program for the 2022 Diesel Progress Summit has been released.

“This is probably the most expansive and informative Summit program we’ve ever had,” said Mike Brezonick, vice president of Editorial for Diesel Progress and chair of the DP Summit. “The theme of the conference is ‘Pathways Toward Powertrain Decarbonization,’ and the sessions cover nearly every decarbonization technology being considered, from new engines and engine systems to hydraulics to fuel cells.

“It’s a terrific way for OEM engineers in particular to get a glimpse of the types of technologies they’ll be employing in their machines and vehicles going forward.”
