New benchmarks in CO2-efficient battery production: (dry) electrode production Dr. Stefan Gerl The demand for lithium-ion batteries is growing continuously. In Europe alone, production capacities are expected to grow tenfold by 2030/35, even if the hype and exaggerated expectations of recent years are currently being followed by the trough of disillusionment. The prerequisite is that […] The post New benchmarks in CO2-efficient battery production: (dry) electrode production appeared first on E-Motec ..read more

Adverse Weather Conditions in the Validation of ADAS/AD Sensors Armin Engstle   Introduction The sensor technology of future automated driving functions and advanced driver assistance systems must work safely in all weather conditions. Currently, certification tests like e.g. Euro NCAP AEB VRU are only performed in good weather conditions, but not in rain and fog, […] The post Adverse Weather Conditions in the Validation of ADAS/AD Sensors appeared first on E-Motec ..read more

AI holds the key to making cleaner, greener and safer EV batteries a reality Krzysztof Slosarczyk The acceleration of Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption continues to fuel debate. While EVs are more popular than ever, the rate of take-up falls behind the ideal. Criticism regarding usability and, more recently, weight of EVs, hinders the progress of […] The post AI holds the key to making cleaner, greener and safer EV batteries a reality appeared first on E-Motec ..read more

Project SUSMAGPRO Sustainable Recovery, Reprocessing and Reuse of Rare-Earth Magnets in a European Circular Economy Editor As electrification continues to rise, demand for Rare Earth Elements (REEs)—a group of 17 metals—grows across the world. In Europe, the demand for magnets, such as neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) used in motors, far exceeds supply. Estimates suggest that 90 percent […] The post Project SUSMAGPRO appeared first on E-Motec ..read more

Fuel Cell Powered Electric Vehicles – Meeting the Optimization Challenges Paul Dickinson Electric propulsion for light and medium duty vehicles has been well established for some years, with energy storage focussing almost entirely on batteries (BEVs). As markets and missions expand, not all use cases are well suited to BEVs – commercial vehicles combine intensive […] The post Fuel Cell Powered Electric Vehicles – Meeting the Optimization Challenges appeared first on E-Motec ..read more

Wireless Power Transmission: A game changer for Electric Vehicles Mark Philips Wireless Power Transmission (WPT), as the name suggests, transfers power without a physical link between the transmitter and receiver. It was first conceptualized by Nicola Tesla in the early 19th century and has now gained significant growth. This technology brings the possibility of ultimately […] The post Wireless Power Transmission: A game changer for Electric Vehicles appeared first on E-Motec ..read more
