EM-TECH @ ECO Mobility 2024


In November 20204, the “19th A3PS – Austrian Association for Advanced Propulsion Systems Conference Eco-Mobility 20204 – Sustainable Energy Carriers and Innovative Propulsion Systems in a Circular Economy” took place in Vienna.

Alejandro Robles Martin from UrbanGold and METTOP GmbH presented the approach for a new end-of-life scenario for in-wheel motors; based on the following key considerations:

🔹 Urge for a directly applicable solution
🔹Lack of standardization
🔹Challenges in the non-destructive extraction
🔹Reduction in rare earths content
🔹Expansion of the primary production industry

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.
