The IEEE Transportation Electrification Council (TEC) coordinates broad and deep activities throughout IEEE in the growing electrification revolution across transportation domains, including advances in electric and hybrid cars, more-electric ships and aircraft, rail systems, personal transport, and the motive, storage, power grid, electronic intelligence, and control technologies that make them possible.

As a sponsoring society, VTS offers free TEC membership to VTS members. When renewing or updating your IEEE membership, look for the option to add TEC to your account. The option will be listed under each sponsoring society:

IEEE Vehicular Technology Society

As a Technical Council, TEC has its own independent budget and more importantly, TEC is actively pursuing to develop new programs for members, such as local chapters, conferences and symposia, publications, standards, etc. Eventually, this will give transportation its rightful place within IEEE, reflecting the major technical and societal transition we are experiencing with a shift with more electric, if not fully electric, modes of transportation.

The Council will cover all modes of transportation (road, off road, air, rail, water) as well as component and system issues, from propulsion technology to autonomous vehicles and the network they are or will rely on.

So, if you work in the transportation industry, or simply have an interest in the field, please participate in current and future TEC activities. Or better yet, volunteer, suggest new initiatives, or take the lead in developing programs for transportation engineers, managers, and researchers.
