Jérôme Favero, Head of Automotive Steel Solutions for ArcelorMittal Global R&D: Why e-mobility needs Smart Steels. As automakers are challenged to continuously improve safety and fuel economy, they search for new materials which meet higher standards. For more than 20 years advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) have been helping engineers meet…
We are pleased to announce the second issue of e-mobility technology for 2019. The magazine, is now a true catalyst for debate and exchange, bringing new innovations and technologies into contact with the industry sectors that implement them.
In 1900, one in three cars on American roads ran on electricity. Then oil began gushing out of Texas. Cost and worries about limited range have kept electric vehicles (EV’s) in a niche ever since. In a decade or so, EV’s will rule the streets once more. And this time…
In June 2019, the UK became the world’s first major economy to put into legislation legally binding targets to reduce carbon and pollutant emissions. However, it is not just this commitment that puts the UK at the forefront of low carbon automotive manufacturing. In 2013 the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC)…
Efficiency is the motor of electromobility and pushing electric vehicle components as close to their performance limit as possible is the key. Platinum thin-film sensors make this possible. Sensor technology has become a key component in supporting the revolution in electric mobility. Precise sensors, accurate data and reliable controls are…
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is using the transformation in the automotive industry to technologically and structurally advance the company Fundamental technological change in the automotive industry also requires suppliers to have the courage to make far-reaching changes. If they don’t have the courage to do so, they will not succeed in…
We are in the midst of a veritable technological revolution: a switch to battery power. E-Vehicles are the most widely discussed phenomenon, but the same exuberant growth is happening in more mundane fields, such as power tools, lawnmowers and stationary energy storage. Whether a small, hand-held power pack or a…
With the rising demand for alternative powertrain technologies, the needs and requirements for high-performance materials for structural battery parts are also increasing. Modified polyphenylene ether (m-PPE) and foamed m-PPE offer promising applications which contribute to the overall efficiency, safety and designability of batteries. Sales of electric vehicles are being increasingly…

Super-charged in 15 minutes – how HUBER+SUHNER is accelerating the electric vehicle market Electric vehicles are increasingly becoming the car of choice as more people become environmentally conscious. The sale of electrical vehicles in the US…
Disruptive Change: From Combustion Engines to E-Motors Julia Wolf (M.A.) Heinzinger Electronic The major trend of electromobility is currently the biggest driver in the automotive industry. It is presenting OEMs and suppliers with tremendous challenges and permanently changing the rules of play in the automotive sector. Suddenly, the combustion engine…
The entire global auto industry is on the brink of a profound technological transformation. Networked or “connected” vehicles, ranging from electrically powered (electrified) and fully automated to autonomous vehicles, as well as new mobility concepts (shared), are ushering in a significant transformation of the auto industry – from changing priorities…
The Cell, the Battery and Battery Management societies are facing numerous challenges. These challenges span many different disciplines, technologies and applications. Experience indicates that many battery pack and battery management designers and manufacturers overlook the key challenges of material selection for assembly, placement and chemical and thermal protection. This is…
Electrification is a Megatrend, not only for passenger cars and light-duty vehicles but also increasingly for construction equipment, agricultural applications, and logistics. Requirements are very different for working machinery than for passenger cars as utilization time, load rates and charging requirements are significantly more challenging. Here at AKG, we have…
Resistance and laser solutions to solve space and accessibility issues As the use of electric motors in automobile power trains has increased, stator welding has become an established manufacturing process. One interesting example is a system Amada Miyachi Europe supplied for Formula One racing cars that use electrical motors…
