Objectives
The first International Conference on Fluid Power Transmission and Control was held in 1985. Since then the conference was held consecutively every four years. Now we look forward to the seventh meeting in Hangzhou. The conference will offer a great opportunity for the participants to exchange their innovations, new research ideas and results, etc. Together, new trends of development in the field of fluid power transmission and control will be spelt out.

Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, is one of the most beautiful scenic places in China, with convenient flight routines to Hong Kong, Beijing and other main cities in China, and within one and half hours of highway drive or express train from Shanghai. As a tourist you may enjoy her breathtaking scenery and the traditional cultures of southeast China.
