Battery Systems 2024
A vastly growing number of vehicle models are being electrifed, from the smallest passenger cars to the biggest of-road trucks. And the total number of EVs on the road is on the rise everywhere.
But despite all the knowledge that has been gained in the process with regard to the development and production of these vehicles, the following questions remain relevant: What are the best OEM and supplier solutions for developing and manufacturing EV battery systems at this moment? How are these battery systems best integrated into the current car body structures? And who has the most innovative repairability and recycling concepts?
To share their latest insights and updates on these topics, the AUTOMOTIVE CIRCLE will once again bring together its global network of automotive engineers in Bad Nauheim, Germany, on May 14-15, 2024.
