EM-TECH @ Green Tech Innovator Club

On 8th of October, Alejandro Robles Martin from METTOP / UrbanGold GmbH presented the EM-TECH project at the 🌱 Green Tech Innovator Club, organized by Green Tech Valley in Carinthia, Austria.

The approximately 70 participants coming mainly from Styria and Carinthia including representatives from funding authorities were listening to presentations of relevant national R&D programs and initiatives where EM-TECH created a possible link to a European initiative.

The networking after the presentations gave great room to exchange and discuss new ideas and initiatives. Thanks to Alejandro Robles Martin METTOP UrbanGold GmbH for presenting the EM-TECH project in this over-regional event and thanks to Green Tech Valley for the great organization and hosting of the event.

🌱 Exciting News from the heart of Green Innovation! 🌍

We’re happy to announce that EM-TECH is taking root in the Green Tech Valley with Alejandro Robles Martin from UrbanGold GmbH presenting the EM-TECH Project with the discussion topic “Closing the loop between the manufacturing and recycling industry together” at the InnovatersClub on 8th of October in Klagenfurt, Austria.

The Green Tech Valley is an Austrian hub of over 250 companies and initiatives aiming to:
🔋 Enhance energy efficiency with cutting-edge solutions
♻️ Revolutionize waste management and recycling systems
💡 Create smart, sustainable technologies that will drive Europe’s transition to a carbon-neutral future.

Stay tuned for updates on how this project will bring innovation, sustainability, and renewableenergy to the forefront!

European Researchers Night 2024

This year’s European Researchers Night took place on September 27 and in Graz (Austria), UrbanGold GmbH and Armengaud Innovate GmbH teamed up to represent the EM-TECH project with a joint stand at Life is Science – “In a world turned upside down”.

Visitors to the EM-TECH stand had the chance to engage into (electro) magnetism, discuss and see the effect of magnets including rare earth and build their own mini electric motors. It was inspiring to see the patience and passion the kids devoted to building their mini electric motors. But it was not only the young visitors getting engaged. Just across the other side of the hallway, our E-VOLVE Cluster colleagues HiPE and EFFEREST had a joint stand where children were able to build lemon batteries. Well, it was quite obvious for the team members to get together and combine the experiments by replacing the battery of the electric motor with a lemon. 

All in all, the event attracted more than 1000 visitors and we would like to express our thanks to the organizers acib GmbH, University of Graz and FH-St Pölten for the excellent organization and great experience. 

This year’s European Researchers Event is over – but next year will be coming and we are looking forward to the next ERN on September 26, 2025. And in the meantime (and if you are understanding German), take some time to listen to the newest podcast edition of “Die BioteXperten” diving into the different stations. And maybe you’ll discover the voice of Eric Armengaud presenting the EM-TECH project?

On-board electric powertrain control for the compensation of the longitudinal acceleration oscillations caused by road irregularities

Experimental validation of the simulation plant along the realistic road profile: PSDs of vertical and longitudinal accelerations of the sprung mass at the front axle

Our project participants Pietro Stano, Davide Lazzarini et al. are to be congratulated for their journal paper “On-board electric powertrain control for the compensation of the longitudinal acceleration oscillations caused by road irregularities”, published in Mechanism and Machine Theory, Volume 202, 2024.

The EM-TECH research demonstrated that on-board electric powertrains can be used to enhance ride comfort and the longitudinal vehicle dynamics through the preview-based control of the motor torque, accounting for the road irregularities ahead through the input from road scanning sensors.
