Committees of the International Automotive Federation (IAF) have begun the 2026–2027 working cycle, following coordination discussions connected with the 2nd Ordinary General Assembly.
The new cycle will support structured committee activities, technical dialogue and closer cooperation between participants from different parts of the international automotive sector.
A coordinated working period
Committees play an important role in the technical and institutional development of the federation. They provide a structured environment where specialists, organisations and sector representatives can exchange knowledge and discuss emerging automotive issues.
During the new working cycle, committee participants will continue to identify priority topics, develop working plans and support coordination across relevant federation activities.
The General Secretariat will support communication between committees and help maintain continuity across the working programme.
Main areas of committee activity
Technical discussion on safety, quality principles and responsible automotive development.
Discussion of environmental performance, sustainable mobility and long-term sector development.
Consideration of digital trust, connected technologies and changing vehicle systems.
International dialogue on technology, mobility development and future sector needs.
Participation and knowledge exchange
The working cycle will provide committee participants with regular opportunities to exchange professional experience, technical information and different regional perspectives.
This approach is intended to support balanced discussions and help the federation better understand developments across the wider automotive and mobility ecosystem.
From discussion to structured work
Committee discussions are expected to support future technical papers, recommendations, programme development and other federation activities where appropriate.
Each committee will develop its work according to its scope, priorities and available expertise.
