In addition to car recycling, car battery recycling is also becoming increasingly important in the Netherlands. Last year, a useful application rate of 63.6% was achieved for discarded drive batteries from electric cars. This is well above the recycling obligation of 50% of the weight of lithium-ion batteries. More facts, figures, and insights about car and car battery recycling can be found in our 2023 sustainability report, "Over Thirty Years of Development and Refinement." https://lnkd.in/epaj9HmB ARN, Janet Kes, Martijn Boelhouwer #car #battery #recycling

“It’s all about continuing to work without long hours of charging. It’s nonsense to think electric machines can’t keep up. We’re proving otherwise.” says Max Aerts of Netherlands based battery charging specialist DENS | Dutch Energy Solutions. I recently caught up with Max at ‘The BEV Experience’ with LiuGong Europe at its HQ in Poland, where it was showcasing its battery range. This includes the 856HE E Max wheel loader, which runs on a 423kWh battery at an operating weight of 21,000 kg. Standing next to the machine, Max explained how its Powerhub can charge the wheel loader from zero to 100% in around an hour and a half, with top up charges taking much less time. The Powerhub also uses the same high density lithium iron phosphate battery cells used by LiuGong Machinery in its electric range. Max: “We are already providing multiple heavy-duty off-grid charging solutions across the world, with our largest Powerhub having 2.3 megawatt hours of energy capacity. This is the equivalent of what an average household uses in an entire year. This allows the 856HE to run for up to two weeks off-grid, on a single Powerhub charge.” “Of course, for large scale power demands, multiple Powerhubs can be delivered to the site and can even be craned into underground projects. The system can also link to solar panels and be trickle charged overnight if standard mains power is available.” In this video, I also reveal how LiuGong will soon be increasing the charging speed of its range. And with the DENS team partnership - “We’re here to power the big shifts,” Max concluded. #electric #electricmachines #batterypower #liugong #allelectric #beyondthebattery #excavators #wheelloaders #batterycharging #offgrid #BEVcharging

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻: 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗮 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 Compliments to ACE Mobility - Automotive Center of Expertise for their excellent magazine spotlighting innovations in autonomous driving, full-electric mobility, and hydrogen-powered vehicles. This edition features the pioneering Green Transport Delta Hydrogen project, led by DAF Trucks NV and backed by the Dutch government, to transform diesel engines into hydrogen combustion engines for non-road and inland waterway applications. As part of this initiative, NPS Driven has been re-engineering a DAF six-cylinder diesel engine for hydrogen use. Peter van der Heijden, Managing Director of NPS Driven, emphasizes the company’s commitment to sustainable powertrain solutions: “In the next 20 years, we must eliminate carbon emissions. Hydrogen offers a viable solution if we can achieve efficient storage and distribution.” The technical team tackled a complex redesign, adapting the engine management system, ECU, and wiring to make a diesel engine hydrogen-compatible without a complete overhaul. Unlike fuel cells, hydrogen combustion engines provide a more cost-effective solution and tolerate lower hydrogen purity levels, opening doors to wider applications. Moving forward, the Green Transport Delta Hydrogen project will undergo extensive testing with additional funding sought from the National Growth Fund. Van der Heijden underscores that government support in establishing a hydrogen distribution network will be key to driving adoption, just as it did for electric vehicles. Thank you, ACE Mobility, for bringing attention to groundbreaking projects like these that shape the future of clean mobility. Together, we’re advancing sustainable solutions, one innovation at a time. Gentiana Tijssen, Nadieh van Kesteren, Christine Swinkels, Freek de Bruijn, Susan Smolders #GreenTransportDelta #Hydrogen

2024, is a 35th year since first bag of #Stanyl was shipped to an #automotive customer. It is also 40th anniversary when Envalior (DSM at that time) together with Twente University of Technology accomplished commercialization of Nylon 4.6, and Envalior announced that it had mastered the industrialized process. When we are with anniversaries, it’s also worth to mention that 30 year ago TER Plastics Polymer Group was recognized by Envalior as a valuable #partner in area of #Engineeringplastics #distribution. So we can say that Stanyl is with us since always. One of first things that comes to mind when hearing Stanyl, is automotive. It’s not without reason, as majority of PA4.6 #market is automotive, however, advantages like excellent mechanical properties above the glass transition temperature, wear and friction performance and extremely good flow behavior in combination with mechanical performance, makes Stanyl a good choice for customer goods as well. Nylon 4.6 can be used as a material for #kitchenware and #household utensils like panhandles, or spatulas, where it is a great #metalreplacement and #lightweight is an added value. If you would like to learn more about Stanyl join us at Polymer-Forum on 16th May in Aschaffenburg, where you can hear about current trends in #engineering #plastics. https://lnkd.in/eeU6S8tQ

The Municipality of Helmond (Gemeente Helmond), the Province of North Brabant (Provincie Noord-Brabant), and property owner Bouwbedrijf van de Ven are investing in the long-term growth of the Automotive Campus. The number of companies on the campus is expected to double in the next ten years. To support this growth and enable faster decision-making, three separate companies will be established focusing on land management, real estate, and overall campus operations. Additionally, we are developing a smart energy system on the campus, allowing companies to exchange energy through a large battery and solar panels. This system addresses grid congestion and enables the campus to continue expanding. The campus not only emphasizes automotive technology but also prioritizes smart energy and battery development, aligning with the vision of removing cars from city centers. With a strong emphasis on digitalization and decarbonization, the Automotive Campus serves as the innovation hub for automotive technology. Mobility plays an increasingly prominent role in the energy transition, intertwining the themes of 'smart' and 'green,' focusing on batteries and energy. The Automotive Campus will play an even larger role beyond mobility, supported by developments such as the Mobility Applied Research Quarter (MARQ), the future applied research center of TNO. These developments, in collaboration with VB+ Vastgoed Groep, RAI Automotive Industry NL , Brainport Development, and the BOM (Brabantse Ontwikkelings Maatschappij), will further strengthen the ecosystem. It's great to see how the Automotive Campus is geared for long-term growth ready for the future with an amazing team: Lex Boon, Ike Wouda, Susan van Gerwen, Marco Stolwijk, Thijs Brans, Bianca van Kessel - Vriesen, and Pieter Rahusen.

🚗 Exciting Presentation Announcement 🚗 Dr. Paul Zandbergen closes the session with his presentation on "The Influence of Vehicle Electrification on Chassis Design". He describes his presentation himself: "This presentation examines the key elements of chassis design and the effects of vehicle electrification on the overall platform concept and related chassis technologies. The initial phase of developing a new vehicle chassis involves establishing attribute targets for vehicle dynamics, braking, acceleration, and NVH, and defining dimensional targets that determine the vehicle's exterior design and size, interior space, and maneuverability. These attribute targets need to be partially redefined for a dedicated Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), which is designed around a large, ideally shaped high voltage battery and not limited by components related to Internal Combustion Engines (ICE). Removing the ICE and adding the battery typically improves the NVH performance of the vehicle but also presents challenges to the vehicle dynamics characteristics. The next step during chassis development involves designing the overall chassis system and its subsystems using updated targets for system and component levels. This includes the development of new vehicle underbody structures, suspension, steering, and brake systems. Integrating propulsion systems into the chassis system is necessary to fully optimize the potential of dedicated BEV architectures and partly offset the high material cost and weight associated with the battery cells. Additionally, integrating chassis underbody components into single units can help reduce manufacturing costs. Finally, the presentation will explore the trends in key chassis mechatronics technologies used in electric vehicles. As the development of dedicated BEV architectures grows, there is a corresponding increase in demand for chassis mechatronics technologies. The presentation will discuss some possible explanations for this trend." #AachenColloquium #ack2024 #Innovation #Research #SustainableMobility #Automotive #Chassis #VehicleDynamics #VehicleElectrification
