The automotive industry faces increasing pressure to deliver higher power performance within progressively smaller and lighter electronic designs. As vehicles incorporate electrification, advanced driver-assistance systems, and connected technologies, engineers are required to balance power density, efficiency, reliability, and safety without increasing size or weight.
On 19th February 2026 at 2pm UK, Electronic Specifier will host a webinar, Maximising Power in Minimal Space: Automotive Electronics Challenges, which will examine the technical and design approaches used to meet these requirements. The session will focus on current challenges and emerging solutions in automotive electronics, with particular attention to power electronics architectures, thermal management techniques, and advanced packaging strategies.
