The Critical Raw Materials Act and the Net Zero Industry Act are important for localising a battery value chain in Europe. But are they sufficient to scale up the battery manufacturing capacity Europe needs to propel its vital European electric vehicle industry? Hear from École Polytechnique's Marc Alochet why Europe’s piecemeal regulatory approach puts European manufacturers on the back pedal in the global electric vehicle race: https://lnkd.in/eEMSVvD6 #UpToSpeed #CRMA #NZIA #electricvehicles

📢 New publication from Mexico available! 📚🚀 Introducing our latest volume in the #Electromobility series: “Quality Infrastructure for Electromobility: Fundamentals of Electric Vehicles and Specifics for Passenger Vehicles", 🔌🚗 As global efforts intensify to combat #ClimateChange, the transportation sector is undergoing a significant shift toward electromobility. The publication highlights that Mexico must harmonise its Quality Infrastructure (#QI) with the technical demands of #ElectricVehicles (EVs) to enhance its role in automotive manufacturing and benefit from the economic opportunities arising from this shift. The study focuses on three key points: 1️⃣ Charging infrastructure 2️⃣ Operational safety of EVs 3️⃣ Circularity of the value chains of EV batteries and other vehicle components 🚗🔋 This white paper is a result of the collaborative efforts between the German-Mexican Dialogue on Quality Infrastructure (QI), led by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz– BMWK) and the Mexican Ministry of Economy (Secretaria De Economia Mexico). It is the culmination of dedicated work by members of the bilateral expert group within the project line "Strategic cooperation on electromobility: standardisation, certification, and technical regulation". 🔗 Read the full publication on our website: https://lnkd.in/e-Djf9VT #Sustainability #QualityInfrastructure

𝗩𝗗𝗟 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗠𝗪 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 ‘This first order for the assembly of battery modules from our partner BMW Group ensures a flying start for our activities surrounding the serial assembly of battery systems, one of the pillars of our Mobility Innovation Centre in Born,’ says President and CEO Willem van der Leegte of VDL Groep. ‘By delivering new and sustainable mobility solutions, for both our partners and our own activities, we want our Mobility Innovation Centre in Born to enable us to be a flexible and expert innovation and industrialization partner.’ VDL has been the secretary of the Green Transport & Delta - Electrification project since 2021. No fewer than 28 industry partners and companies (amongst others: RAI Automotive Industry NL and Brainport Development) are participating, with the aim of developing a battery ecosystem in the Netherlands that can accelerate the transition to climate-neutral (heavy-duty) mobility. This project is aimed at further developing the partners’ battery systems into semi-automatically produced battery systems. During the past period, a battery demo line, built at VDL in Born, has been developed and tested. The demo line has demonstrated our knowledge and skills in the field of industrialization and automation. VDL Groep is co-founder and partner of the knowledge cluster for batteries, Battery Competence Cluster - NL (BCC-NL). This cluster supports the Green Transport & Delta - Electrification project with knowledge and expertise. The two new production lines that will be used in Born for the assembly of the battery modules for BMW Group, and any other clients, are different production lines than the demo line that is part of the Green Transport & Delta - Electrification project.

At the heart of #Espelkamp, within the global headquarters of HARTING Technology Group, this year's annual trade press conference shed light on the ambitious future vision of an "All Electric Society." Echoing the theme of "Energising a Sustainable Industry" set by HANNOVER MESSE 2024, the discussions were rich with insights on sustainability and energy efficiency. #HARTING is significantly emphasising the “#AllElectricSociety” concept — envisioning a future where all energy needs are met through electricity sourced from renewable resources. This visionary idea was a central theme throughout the HARTING trade press conference, demonstrating the company's commitment to turning this vision into reality. Hari Shanker, Managing Editor of Machine Maker, spoke with Norbert Gemmeke, Managing Director of HARTING Electric, about how this vision is being implemented across various industries. The conversation also ventured into the specific needs of India and Asia, highlighting HARTING Technology Group's tailored approach to different market demands. We're eager to hear your thoughts on this interview.
