"Who would have bet 20 years ago that Dacia would be on the european passenger car retail sales podium? This has been the case for 4 years! Today I had the pleasure of retracing the brand's trajectory with our analysts and investors in Romania.    The key to Dacia’s success? Playing a team sport and focusing on what really matters, thanks to a design-to-cost approach, a hypercompetitive industrial footprint, and a commercial policy focused on transparent and simple pricing.    We also push for ultra-low emission solutions, including #efuels. In that matter, Dacia has great assets to make its way between the challenges of #sustainability and affordability.    I want to say a big bravo to our teams! Thanks to all the work that has already been done, Dacia is now at a turning point in its history. We are entering a new chapter, projecting the brand’s unique recipe in upper segment vehicles, which will boost its profitable growth.    We have great projects (#Duster and #Bigster to name a few), and the obsession with customer value that will push Dacia into another dimension!"   #DaciaDays  Denis Le Vot

Neu-Isenburg, Germany, 5 June 2024 – With the iON GT, premium tire manufacturer Hankook is expanding its iON product family developed specifically for electric vehicles. The iON GT summer tire, developed specifically for battery-powered city cars and saloons, as well as the iON GT SUV available for compact SUVs celebrated their premiere at this year’s “The Tire Cologne”, the leading trade fair for the tire industry. A characteristic feature of the new tire in addition to the A/A/A rating on the EU tire label was a high percentage of recycled and renewable materials that match the strength, flexibility and durability of conventional tire components. The strong sustainability credentials had been attested to by the ISCC PLUS certification (ISCC = International Sustainability & Carbon Certification). The new iON GT meets the challenging day-to-day requirements for EV tires with a package of technical measures. EV tires have a higher level of wear than tires for ICE vehicles. One way that Hankook deals with this is the i Super Mileage technology. This includes Round Even, which guarantees an extremely even contact pressure on the road and helps to extend the tire’s life. Hankook’s Opti Cure technology is an advanced vulcanisation technology that helps to significantly reduce rolling resistance. This is how the iON GT can contribute to greater range per battery charge. Much more resistant aramid fibres enhance the steering precision in combination with the Grip Boost technology, which reduces the movement of the sidewall. At the same time, the ProGrip tread mixture ensures better adhesion on wet surfaces through a combination of high-density silica and other sustainable raw materials. Another development goal was to have the quietest possible running characteristics, especially since the absence of noise made by a combustion engine draws attention to this aspect., As a result, it is even more important that Hankook’s integrated i Sound Absorber technology in conjunction with the specific tire pattern noticeably reduces the noise level in the cabin. Thanks to these measures, the EU tire label of the new Hankook iON GT bears an A/A/A rating. This corresponds to top marks for rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise. And also the Hankook iON GT has been named “Winner” in the Product Design category at the Red Dot Design Award 2024. With the new iON GT, Hankook is consistently pursuing its strategy of offering the best possible tire for every electric vehicle, ensuring superior performance, sustainability, and design excellence for today’s EV drivers.

🚗 If you currently cooperate with Stellantis xFCA, it's worth remembering about the changes that are currently occurring in cooperation with this client: 1. FGP.42 referenced in the CSRs has been canceled and replaced by PRO-00109 – Quality Requirements for Suppliers (common for xPSA and xFCA) 2. 07179 Plant Evaluation – Benestare has been suspended for download so we can expect a transition to a new approach 3. In the beStandard portal you can now download the document PRO.00106 "PPAP Approval - Stellantis harmonized" which will be applicalbe for new projects 4. In addition to document 9.01102/10 "Classification criteria for product and their characteristics", it is also worth familiarizing yourself with CS.00071 "Classification of characteristics" created by the Stellantis group, which is not yet included in CSRs 5. Additional Quality Requirements will continue to apply in cooperation with this client. Questions about this document appear 4 times in Mass Production Audit. For example, the pressing process procedure number is AQR.00011 (for xFCA) and number 01598_23_01136 (used in cooperation with for xPSA) 6. PDR according to SQ.00008 is ultimately replaced by Capacity Assessment Procedure GSQN.007 - now available on the beStandard portal 7. Why is it worth reading? There is a well-presented project schedule 📊 showing milestones according to the old and new approaches - "Capacity Estimation" tab 8. The "Forever Requirement Violation" indicator with claim number 20.1 has been changed to "Mass Production Unauthorized Change" - indicator nr 32. This information is not included in procedure 08018, which is waiting for its update, but you will find it on the SQP system login page. 9. GSQN.0004 – Proactive Containment Procedure has replaced SQ.00009 – Safe Launch Plan – SLP. Currently is applied in all Stellantis group. 💡 And if you want to learn more, We invite you to the online training session which will be performed at 27-28 of June.

MAHLE and volytica diagnostics speed up statistical diagnostics for HV batteries The diagnostics solution delivers valuable information on the health and performance of a high-voltage battery during the charging process. With a time of 15 minutes or less, E-HEALTH Charge is currently the fastest statistical battery diagnosis on the market, according to its manufacturer. The diagnostics system consists of the E-CHARGE 20 battery charger and the E-HEALTH app, combining charging and diagnostics in a single operation. The application is vehicle and manufacturer-independent. E-HEALTH Charge can also be used purely as a DC charger.   The cooperation with volytica is especially important for evaluating the data collected by the charger and the on-board diagnostics interface. The data is collected in a secure cloud storage system, categorised in relation to previously recorded batteries of the same type and compared with the original capacity of the vehicle model. Shortly afterwards, a final report is provided via email.   “The partnership with MAHLE marks a decisive step towards greater transparency in the field of electromobility. With our innovative battery diagnostics solution, we are not only helping to provide lease returns with a fair valuation, but also making the used-car market for electric vehicles more transparent,” says Claudius Jehle, founder and CEO of volytica diagnostics. “Our motto ‘Acceptance through Transparency’ is at the heart of this initiative, which not only benefits buyers and sellers, but also promotes the acceptance and spread of electric mobility. In addition, we are making a significant contribution to environmental protection by saving up to two million tons of batteries from premature retirement every year and extending their service life by an average of five years through second-life applications.” Click here to access more news articles & deeper technical investigations into e-mobility ▶ https://lnkd.in/exVm22ce #batteries #charging #emobility #electricvehicles #diagnostics #batterymanufacturing

Batteries are crucial components of electric vehicles – not least because they significantly influence the residual value. Original Equipment Manufacturers and suppliers are therefore keen to understand the details of how battery cells and systems age and the impact that driving behavior and handling have on their service life. For this purpose, Porsche Engineering is developing a digital twin of a high-voltage battery. More information: https://lnkd.in/e8skdPDN __ Macan Turbo (WLTP): Electrical consumption combined: 20.7 – 18.8 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined: 0 g/km; CO₂ class: A; Status 06/2024
