We are proud to be included in the newly published report “New and Emerging Transport Technologies and Trends in European Research and Innovation Projects 2024” mentioning our work on digital twins for optimization of EV-related technologies.
In case you missed this year RTR2025 – the conference organizers got you covered. Please find here the recording of the session 8 “Innovative components for more efficient EVs”, where Martin Weinzerl, AVL has presented EM-TECH. This session also gives you an overview on the sister projects
MAXIMA – Modular AXIal flux Motor for Automotive
HEFT – Novel concept of a low cost, high power density and highly efficient recyclable motor for next generation mass produced electric vehicles
VOLTCAR – Design, manufacturing, and validation of ecocycle electric traction motor
CliMAFlux – Circular design and manufacturing techniques for next generation highly-efficient integrated axial flux motor drives for electric vehicles
Thanks a lot to all organizers, the moderators Joao Carrilho Miranda (CINEA) and Damian Backes (ika RWTH-Aachen) for the great exchange.
Beginning of February 2025 was the perfect time for an EM-TECH consortium meeting, kicking-off project year 3. We would like to thank all participants and our kind host University of Bath / IAAPS for a successful meeting full of positive energy and constructive approaches.
Throwback to the E-VOLVE Cluster Webinar…
… and Martin Weinzerl’s presentation on EM-TECH and the project’s smart components for the Software-Defined vehicle. In case you missed the webinar; well here is the recording we are happy to share with you.
Thanks a lot to the more than 80 participants to our webinar and the great feedback received.
We have the opportunity to be present at the new E-VOLVE Cluster webinar on November 22nd 2024. The webinar will feature presentations from EM-TECH and the other cluster projects HighScape, SCAPE, EFFEREST, HiPE, SmartCorners and PowerDrive with the common theme: “SEE MOBILITY E-VOLV(E)ING: Smart Components for the Software-Defined Vehicle of the Future“.
EM-TECH will contribute with a speech by our coordinator DI Martin Weinzerl from AVL List GmbH about “Fast-reaction in-wheel motors driving towards new vehicle control strategies”.
Mark your calendars on November 22nd from 10:00 – 12:00 CET and register today to save your spot at the webinar.
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!
–> For more information, please get in touch with Alejandro Robles Martin.
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?
EM-TECH General Assembly
It was on July 10 and 11 when the EM-TECH consortium got together in Erfurt, Germany for the third general assembly and to discuss the project status and next steps. Special thanks to the colleagues from our partner TU Ilmenau and for hosting the meeting and providing an excellent and amicable framework for intensive exchange.
During the meeting, the project participants were focusing their discussion (among other topics) on:
Thanks a lot to all colleagues involved and looking forward to meet you all on- and offline very soon to continue the work on the actions defined.
Due to the project partners UrbanGold GmbH and AVL and their cooperation within EM-Tech with European partners like Politecnico di Torino on LCA, the EM-Tech project is presented at the website of the Green Tech Valley.
The cluster, active in the south of Austria is following the “Vision 100: 1 World. 0 Carbon. 0 Waste.” and is supporting the large number of partners with know-how and services in the field of climate protection and circular economy.
