Battery Systems in Car Body Engineering

+++ FULL PROGRAM ONLINE +++ FULL PROGRAM ONLINE +++ FULL PROGRAM ONLINE +++
BATTERY SYSTEM DEVELOPMENTS ARE GAINING MOMENTUM
Slowly but surely, the training wheels are coming off as car makers around the world are making steady progress in the successful development of new battery systems and their integration into the body structure.
New, fully electric vehicles are continuously being added to the product portfolio of OEMs worldwide. But despite all the knowledge that has already been gained in the past few years, and all the lessons learned, two main questions remain relevant because their answers constantly evolve with every new insight and innovation gained: What are the best OEM and supplier solutions for developing and manufacturing EV battery systems at this moment, and how are these battery systems best integrated into the car body structure?
To share their latest insights and innovations on this topic, the Automotive Circle once again cordially invites its global network of automotive engineers to Bad Nauheim (Germany) / online, on June 20-21, 2022.
You will find the full conference program below.
