Call for participation: MDEC Mining Vehicle Powertrain Conference
3 August 2026
The MDEC Mining Vehicle Powertrain Conference (MVPC)—previously called the Mining Diesel Emissions Conference—will be held this year on October 6-8 in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The organizers invite you to participate and to submit a presentation.
The MVPC Conference provides a global forum for the dissemination of the scientific and technologically advanced research to reduce and control diesel emissions in the mining workplace environment, support the development of alternative powertrain technologies, and cover the decarbonization of mining vehicle fleets and the deployment of electric vehicles (EV) and other low-carbon powertrains in underground mines.
The Conference will be held on October 6-8, 2026 in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Learn more: Mining Vehicle Powertrain Conference
The Conference is attended by North American and global mining industry professionals—including managers; health, safety, and environmental professionals; regulators; researchers; manufacturers of diesel engines, equipment, and aftertreatment technologies and EV technologies that aid in controlling emissions and improving air quality in underground mines.
The MVPC invites presentation abstracts on the following topics, with emphasis on health effects, diesel, and alternative energy.
- Diesel engines and machines
- Emission control technologies
- Electric vehicle powertrains
- Regulatory and health issues
- Laboratory and field studies
- Instrumentation and monitoring
The MVPC Conference includes an exhibition that provides an opportunity to showcase products and services to underground mobile equipment operators.
