Fully charged with expertise
新技術を促進
NRW州が有する自動車産業での技術革新力の源は、産業界と応用研究機関の密接な連係にあります。例えば、ズゥートヴェストファーレン・オートモーティブ・センターは、自動車メーカー、サプライヤー企業および大学研究所が共同で研究・開発活動、エンジニアリングサービス、また知識移転を行えるプラットフォームとして機能しています。
eモビリティーにおいても、アーヘン、ドルトムント、ミュンスターにコンピテンスセンターを有するNRW州は最高のポテンシャルを発揮しています。
Research factory for battery cell production
What this full charge of battery expertise is capable of is demonstrated by a current research project from NRW. The project involves the establishment of a research factory for battery cell production that is unique in Germany. The concept for "battery cell research production" takes into account the entire life cycle of a battery cell, starting with production and its optimization – also according to energy and resource-saving criteria – right through to recycling. The concept thus contains a convincing and legally feasible approach as to how batteries produced in a test phase can be optimally utilized and then, after the utilization phase, reused via a recycling system. Recycling is to be set up in Ibbenbüren.
