Striving for an environmentally friendly vehicle society
Our present day motorized society has various issues including auto emissions linked to air pollution and global warming, noise, our dependency on oil, and traffic congestion. The electric vehicles including battery, hybrid and fuel cell electric vehicles possess the exceptional qualities of having zero or low emissions, and being highly efficient, energy-saving and quiet. There are great expectations for there to be an increase in the prevalence of EVs. In the name of driving on our beautiful Earth for years to come, EVS is pushing ahead for a new and ideal motorized society.

For the next-generation motorized society contributing to the "sustainability of the environment, energy and industry"

The EVS: International Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exposition is the world's largest international symposium of its kind. The first symposium was held in 1969 in Phoenix, Arizona in the United States, and will celebrate its 22nd symposium in 2006.
Affiliated with the World Electric Vehicle Association, the symposium has been organized alternatively among Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. This will be the second time for Japan to host EVS since 1996.

World Electric Vehicle Association
EVAAP:Electric Vehicle Association of Asia Pacific
AVERE:European Electric Road Vehicle Association
EDTA:Electric Drive Transportation Association



The World Electric Vehicle Association (WEVA) is an international organization which was launched in 1990 for the purpose of coordinating the EVS and promoting the dissemination of electric automobiles and other electric vehicles. WEVA consists of three regional organizations, the European Electric Road Vehicle Association (AVERE), the Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA)*, and the Electric Vehicle Association of Asia Pacific (EVAAP). EDTA, AVERE and EVAAP are international associations designed to popularize electric vehicles in their respective regions of the Americas, Europe and the Asia-Pacific. They select the EVS host location and organization in each region, and provide cooperation to the International EVS Organizing Committee and International Programs Committee. The WEVA chairperson and secretariat serve for each EVS hosting cycle. WEVA meetings are usually convened twice a year in conjunction with the International EVS Organizing Committee and International Program Committee meetings, and special representatives (currently seven) discuss and decide on administrative strategies, host nations, etc for EVS.
* Formerly the Electric Vehicle Association of the Americas (EVAA). Renamed to the present EDTA in January 2002.



The Electric Vehicle Association of Asia Pacific (EVAAP) is an international association established in 1990 for the purpose of promoting electric vehicles in the Asia-Pacific region. As a major player in its establishment, the former Japan Electric Vehicle Association served as secretariat of EVAAP and hosted EVS-13 in 1996.
As part of an organizational consolidation in July 2003, the Japan Automobile Research Institute took over its membership.
Currently, EVAAP consists of 7 nations, and the Japan Automobile Research Institute as its secretariat.
