Direct Injection 2-Stroke Engine International Conference

The Direct Injection 2-Stroke Engines International Conference – 6th edition (DI2S 2026) will be held on September 23–25, 2026 in Modena (Italy), co-organized by DI2S Consulting & Training and the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE).

Over the years, this biennial event has established itself as a key international forum, bringing together universities, research centers, and leading industrial players to share advances in 2-stroke engine technology across a wide range of applications.

2-stroke engines play a crucial role at both extremes of the power spectrum, offering high efficiency in large marine applications and high specific power, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness in small-scale systems.

Their strong adaptability to alternative fuels and advanced combustion concepts makes them particularly relevant in the transition toward sustainable mobility.

The main theme of the 2026 edition will be carbon-neutral 2-stroke engines, with contributions focusing on innovative solutions involving hydrogen, ammonia, e-fuels, and other low-carbon technologies.

The conference will provide a unique opportunity to discuss recent developments and future perspectives with a global network of experts from academia and industry.
