The 5th IEEE Symposium on Emerging Technology of Transportation Electrification kicked off on May 14-15 in Shanghai. With a particular focus on ground transportation engineering, including transportation-energy integration technologies in the sphere of
transportation engineering, i.e. high-speed rail, urban rail transit, maglev train and electric vehicle, new-generation electrical and electronic technologies, new motor technologies, traction power supply and electric powertrain technologies, and energy storage technologies, this Symposium discussed the prospects of transportation electrification technology in the digital and intelligent era for the development of green transportation technology underlain by transportation electrification.
The Symposium was co-sponsored by the Transportation Electrification Committee of China Power Supply Society (CPSS), Tongji University, CRRC Zhuzhou Institute and Tsinghua University, co-organized by the Institute of Rail Transit of Tongji University, the Maglev Technology Key Laboratory of Railway Industry, the National Science and Technology Park of Tongji University and the journal of Urban Mass Transit Research, and co-supported by IEEE Transportation Electrification Community & Vehicular Technology Society, College of Electronic and Information Engineering of Tongji University, CRRC Academy and Tongji-CRRC Joint Research Center for Innovation. Prof. CHEN Qingquan, Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) and Honorary Professor of the University of Hong Kong, and Prof. ZHONG Zhihua, Vice President of CAE and former President of Tongji University jointly served as the honorary chairs. The Symposium was co-chaired by Prof. CHEN Xiaohong, Dean of the Institute of Rail Transit of Tongji University, and Prof. KANG Jinsong, Executive Deputy Director of the Maglev Technology Key Laboratory of Railway Industry. More than 500 experts, scholars and officials attended the symposium, including: AN Lusheng, member of the Leading Party Members' Group and deputy head of the National Railway Administration; DING Rongjun, member of CAE and Chief Scientist of CRRC; TANG Tianhao, Vice President of CPSS; LI Feng, deputy head of Jiading District, Shanghai Municipality; and TONG Xiaohua, Vice President of Tongji University.

On behalf of CPSS, Mr. TANG Tianhao extended his appreciation to Tongji University and especially to the Symposium Organizing Committee for their meticulous planning and preparations. He said the fact that this Symposium has evolved into an influential insight exchange platform in the industry well mirrors the thriving development of transportation electrification, particularly its bright prospects in China given China's leading edge in high-speed rail and electric vehicles. Looking into the future, he added, the goal of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" will bring sweeping changes to how people work and live, whilst renewable energy and transportation electrification would be the way forward for us to attain this goal.
On behalf of the Jiading District Government, Mr. LI Feng extended a warm welcome to the participating officials, experts and representatives, and introduced the audience to the future development plan of Jiading New City for the transportation industry. He emphasized that Jiading District will team up with Tongji University to build a national modern rail transit and high-speed rail industry cluster, and called upon experts and scholars from universities and research institutes across China to join this initiative, thereby harnessing technology and industry to push for the all-round development of Jiading District and taking the integrated development of Yangtze River Delta to a whole new level.
Prof. TONG Xiaohua stressed that transportation modernization serves as an important symbol of the modernization of national infrastructures and the cornerstone underlying the new "dual circulation" development paradigm, and that an efficient and low-carbon transportation system must be underlain by the development of the industry. Citing the centennial history of Tongji's rail transit discipline, he lauded the Institute of Rail Transit for fostering two CAE members and countless top-notch rail transit professionals. He added that frontier technologies for electrified transportation, such as maglev transportation, high-speed rail, urban rail transit and electric vehicles, would give a powerful boost to China's ambition of promoting sustainable development, staging the new energy revolution and attaining carbon neutrality. He hoped that the attendees would explore the definitions, characteristics and development trends of frontier technologies for transportation electrification and advance the commercialization of relevant research results, thereby serving China's strategy to become a country with strong transportation network.
