Seminar on Automotive EMC Performance

The Japan Quality Assurance Organization (JQA) is set to hold a seminar titled "Automotive Manufacturers' Insights on EMC Performance for In-Vehicle Equipment" on September 16, 2026. This event will feature speakers from leading automotive companies such as Toyota, Hino, and Daihatsu, who will share valuable insights on the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance necessary for modern vehicles.

Event Overview

The seminar will run from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with a networking session from 5:20 PM to 6:30 PM at Akihabara UDX in Tokyo. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to interact with experts from the automotive industry, including JQA technicians, to gain further knowledge and discuss the latest developments in automotive EMC.

Recent advancements toward achieving carbon neutrality and innovations in mobility, such as autonomous driving and connected vehicles, have intensified the focus on electric vehicle (EV) powertrains and components, leading to increased demand for EMC performance standards. As we look ahead, automotive manufacturers are adapting to these changes by developing and refining regulations governing EMC, especially in the context of electric and fuel cell vehicles.

This seminar presents an opportunity for suppliers to learn about current trends and standards concerning EMC performance in automotive technologies. Industry experts will provide comprehensive insights incorporating recent regulatory updates.
