Manufacturing Technologies And Infrastructure For Future Mobility (Electric Vehicles: Everything is Changing. USA 2016)

From 2012 to 2015 the second part of "Fraunhofer System Research for Electromobility" was carried out. The focus of the second part was to ready implementation of technologies especially for the manufacturing of electric vehicles. The next steps towards a serial production of electric vehicle was the aim. Manufacturing technologies for new, lightweight vehicle structures as well as new battery-production-concepts were considered. This presentation gives an overview of the different topics of Fraunhofer System Research for Electromobility. A surface heating system for electric cars as well as a new production process for Battery Electrodes will be presented.

Research interests:

For more than ten years now, the researchers from the Fraunhofer IPA department »Functional Materials« have been developing new materials and products qualities based on carbon nanotubes and other allotropes such as graphene. Inspired by topics such as energy and resources efficiency, we work in our department at synthesis, modeling, dispersion and application of nanostructured carbon. Due to the high technology standards and integration methods, we are able to find customized solutions very quickly and offer our customers a unique range of services.
