🌱 Exciting News from the heart of Green Innovation! 🌍

/in , /by

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

/in , /by

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?

General Assembly

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: 

  • low-level and high level control strategy, in order e.g., to create the control logic behind the e-gear design, and integrate this capability into the overall vehicle control strategy
  • gathering the correct amount of information to support life cycle sustainability assessment (especially focusing on the permanent magnet and e-motor design) while not disclosing highly confidential IPs
  • all inputs needed for the periodic report and consequent review meeting with our project officer

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. 

EM-TECH meets Green Tech Valley

/in /by

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.

EM-TECH project meeting No. 3

It was already the third time, the EM-Tech consortium got together – this time in Torino, Italy. Co-hosted by Politecnico di TorinoCars@Polito and Ideas & Motion, the participants came together discussing the status of the project, the next steps and – as you can see from the pictures – the meeting included a tour to the testing facilities used within the project.

Thanks a lot to our hosts and organizers Nicola Amati, Claudio Romano, Barbara Almond, Saulius, Marius Pakštys and all other colleagues involved. We are looking forward to meeting you all again online and in person.

In October of 2023, the EM-TECH project had the opportunity to be part of an event called “Sustainable Drives: Exploring Innovations in Green Vehicle Propulsion”. It was a great online meeting that included not only our project, but also the projects MAXIMA, VOLTCAR and HEFT.

In case you missed the event, here is a link to rewatch all the presentations:

“Towards the sustainable vehicle era”

/in , /by

“Towards the sustainable vehicle era”

In November, Cars@PolitoPolitecnico di Torino organized and conducted the workshop “Towards the sustainable vehicle era” where the EM-Tech project has been part of the poster session. 

The event, has been an excellent opportunity for both academic as well as industrial partners coming together and exchanging on most recent innovations; such as the EM-Tech partners Cars@PolitoPolitecnico di Torino, represented here by Antonella Accardo and Nicola Amati, and Ideas & Motion, represented by Claudio Romano.

Thank you very much for the fruitful exchange as well as perfect organization of the workshop!

Eco-Mobility 2023

🔵 How to achieve 100 % sustainable mobility? Circular Economy – from Cradle to Grave and back to Cradle 🔵 

On November 16 and 17, the 18th A3PS – Austrian Association for Advanced Propulsion Systems Conference Eco-Mobility 2023 took place in Vienna and the E-VOLVE cluster and all partner projects have been presented by Eric Armengaud, leading the working group “industrialization and exploitation” of the cluster. 

This year’s theme of the conference was “How to achieve 100 % sustainable mobility? Circular Economy – from Cradle to Grave and back to Cradle“ and provided excellent keynote speeches and ground breaking input in the thematic sessions provided by the international participants. 

The E-VOLVE cluster presentation was part of the session “AVC Advanced Vehicle Concepts” and focused on presenting the cluster as well as the projects and their innovative approaches as contribution to the European R&D landscape. Chaired by Brandstätter Bernhard from Virtual Vehicle Research GmbH and lead of the cluster working group “Scientific Board”, the session concluded with a panel discussion with Christian Kurzböck from Virtual Vehicle and a vivid exchange among the participants of the session. 

We would like to thank A3PS and Conference Chair Dr. Michael Noest, MBA in representation of the organizers for the invitation and excellent organization and all participants for the fruitful discussions. We are looking forward to further exchange.
