Litens Automotive Group’s Post

Future Technologies for Automotive Batteries: Opportunities and Challenges with Dr. Angelique Janse van Rensburg from BMW Group. Lithium-ion technology is set to be the workhorse of e-mobility for the next decade and thus demands further R&D to improve the usual performance indicators such as energy density, safety, and lifetime. In addition, more sustainable materials and those that allow for faster charging are of high interest to the automotive industry. Selected observations originating from advanced electrode-active materials are discussed in this presentation. https://lnkd.in/eu73FyrR Save €150 with Discount Code 2428-SPK. #AABCEurope

Haosen North America Embarks on a New Journey. Collaborate with Stellantis to Draw the Blueprint for a New Energy Vehicle Power System. Recently, Haosen received an important order for drive motor production line from the globally renowned car company Stellantis. This is the first time Stellantis has independently introduced a new product line in North America, which reflects the recognition and trust of international auto giants in Haosen and is an important milestone for both parties. On the path of new energy, Haosen focuses on decoding high-end intelligent manufacturing. At present, Haosen is capable of providing comprehensive and mature solutions in the field of e-drive. From the production of stator and rotor to the assembly and comprehensive testing of the e-drive system, from new product prototyping and mass production to warehousing & logistics as well as digital management of production lines and factories, Haosen can provide customers with a one-stop whole line intelligent manufacturing solution that spans the entire industry chain and product lifecycle. Looking back at the development history of the enterprise, Haosen helped downstream customers deploy numerous first-of-their-kind equipment, and also achieved the first application and continuous optimization of many new products for upstream suppliers, gaining long-term trust from customers. It achieved the first breakthrough in performance, including a 10-layer flat wire motor stator production line, an 800V high-voltage oil-cooled motor stator production line, an X-pin motor stator production line, and a 46 series large cylindrical cell production line, starting an innovation engine for its own and its partners' competitiveness in the global market. With the continuous deepening of electrification in the automotive industry, Haosen is establishing in-depth cooperation with more and more industry partners to provide innovative impetus for brand transformation. In the future, Haosen will continue to contribute to the sustainable development of the automotive industry with efficient and reliable intelligent production lines and global supporting advantages. #haosen #intelligentproduction #manufacturing #automotiveindustry #collaboration #electricvehicles #project #achievements #inovations #automation #technology #emobility #news #emotor #stator #rotor

Recently back from the eMotor conference and insightful discussions with automotive experts in Europe. Key takeaways: 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Despite skepticism, electrification is on the rise, with legacy brands being prompted by eco-conscious consumers to enhance their EV offerings. Moreover, China's early investment into EVs, driven by environmental and economic concerns, has cemented its lead in the EV value chain, challenging the legacy automotive countries and companies to step up with bold policies and investments. 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀: The industry grapples with three main hurdles, that are also opportunities for differentiation from competition: 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺, 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘷𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵, and 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 (𝘛𝘊𝘖) 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘌𝘝 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺. For example, efforts to meet vehicle's performance needs without compromising efficiency and range, have resulted in oversized systems that impact weight and TCO negatively. Additionally, the widespread use of permanent magnets containing heavy rare-earth elements like Neodymium and Dysprosium in most EV motors introduces long-term economic and geopolitical risks. Addressing the 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘴 knowledge gap is essential for overcoming these challenges, which also opens opportunities for innovation; our 𝗖𝗼𝗶𝗹 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 leverages power electronics expertise to tackle these issues effectively. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗔𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱:  Transforming a century-old incumbent technology (combustion engines) in the capital-intensive automotive industry is a complex and non-linear journey. Opting for divestment and slowdown might seem like a safe bet for some players, but it's the commitment to innovation and resilience that will create competitive edge in the long run. #powerelectronics #electricvehicles #emotortech24

very tangible results of the preparation of ISO and IEC standards for automated charging. While some are still debating whether electric vehicles will replace ICE ones, others are paving the way for the next transition: autonomous parking and autonomous driving. Where do you think autonomous driving, parking and charging will first break through? 1. Ports 2. Warehousing 3. Long haul trucking 4. Robotaxis 5. Passenger car AVP (Automated Valet Parking)? Interested in your thoughts on this

Looking forward to moderate Electrification at #VECS2024 together with Stefan Pettersson and the discussions on how to scale up electromobility!

Before #IAATransportation, the leading trade show for commercial vehicle and transportation, kicks off on 17th of September, Roger Dr. Busch, Corporate Executive Vice President Sales and Application Engineering at MAHLE, indicates what customers and visitors can experience at #MAHLEIAA. “Our path to future mobility is defined: We are convinced that technological diversity is crucial to foster rapid decarbonization of the global transport and commercial vehicle sector. The technical solutions for sustainable drives, that MAHLE can offer, are just as diverse as the requirements and areas of application of today's commercial vehicles. This is exactly what we will demonstrate at #MAHLEIAA“, Busch outlines. “With our broad range of components and systems for battery-electric drives, hydrogen engines, fuel cells, and renewable fuel applications, MAHLE has the right technologies to shape the sustainable transformation of the global transport sector. The visitors to our booth will experience our systematic approach to a fuel cell truck, involving MAHLE fuel cell peripherals, thermal management solutions, and a fully functional heavy-duty e-axle with two integrated SCT e-motors and liquid management modules.

AUTOMOTIVE MARKET NEWS 📰 In the coming years, we are definitely facing an increase in the share of hydrogen-powered vehicles in the automotive market - this is especially concerning for trucks. According to IDTechEx forecasts, one-fifth of zero-emission trucks will run on hydrogen in the coming decades. We can see confirmation of these speculations in the activities of the German company Bosch, which has begun series production of a power module that is based on fuel cells at its largest, as well as oldest, Stuttgart-Feuerbach plant. Moreover, the company's CEO Stefan Hartung has openly admitted that a hydrogen future is beginning at the aforementioned factory. What's more, Bosch is also working on creating a hydrogen engine, by developing direct and indirect hydrogen injection systems. According to the company, such a solution is expected to prove itself primarily in heavy vehicles carrying large loads over long distances. In view of this situation, it remains to watch the hydrogen situation in the automotive industry in detail. #KnaufIndustries #KnaufAutomotive #automotive #hydrogen #fcev #truck #lorry
