Clean vehicles thanks to digitalization - making the future of mobility sustainable: The project partners of the DigiTain project meet for the 3rd project meeting in Freiburg

Gruppenbild DigitTain — DigiTain participants at the 3rd project meeting in Freiburg

Around 120 participants from the consortium came together in a hybrid format for the third DigiTain project meeting on January 18, 2024. The 90 local participants were welcomed by the project partners Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics (EMI), the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials (IWM) and the Department of Sustainable Systems Engineering (INATECH) in Freiburg. After the welcome address by Dr. Norbert Dölle (Mercedes-Benz, project coordinator) and Prof. Dr. Frank Schäfer (Fraunhofer EMI, host & project partner), the focus was on the current status of the work packages and the report on the goals and milestones achieved by the WP leads. Once again, the participants took the opportunity to discuss further research work and interfaces in workshops and to plan the next steps. The next DigiTain project meeting will take place in July 2024 at the project partner Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoffforschung Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) in Ulm.

TU Dresden presented its latest research results on the sustainability-oriented development process (NEP), digital methods and models, hybrid high-voltage battery housings and fiber-reinforced composite rotor shafts.

The team of scientists from the Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK) and the Chair of Virtual Product Development (VPE) presented innovative solutions that contribute to accelerating the development of sustainable drive systems in the field of mobility.
