Result description
The platform is manufactured in a scalable profile design. The fibres in the battery box as well as in node elements come from recycling processes, so that a way to close the loop was also found here. The connection technologies are designed to be detachable. A patent-pending detachable adhesive connection is also used here.
Car sharing providers are predestined users of this invention. They can use the concept to create their own vehicles and thus increase customer benefits. Furthermore, the logistics after use are simplified. The vehicles are disassembled and the reused components are inspected. In the case of minor defects, a remanufacturing process takes place. The platforms can then be used again directly in vehicle assembly for a new generation. Up to 7 life cycles or 1 million km are possible. Updates of the batteries and all superstructures are always possible.
Life-cycle assessment shows savings of emissions already with the first reuse. Costs can also be reduced in the long term, thus contributing to the expansion of car sharing.
Addressing target audiences and expressing needs
- We are sharing our knowledge
- Business partners – SMEs, Entrepreneurs, Large Corporations
- Collaboration
The concept is proven to be ready for the road. We are searching for any collaboration to achieve this major goal. This could be any company or startup in the mobility sector.
- Others/ No specific audience
- Other Actors who can help us fulfil our market potential
- Research and Technology Organisations
R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
The platform was simulated for the most important load cases. Production concepts were developed. Within few months the development of a ready-to-use protoype is possible.
The platform can be scaled to any vehicle the later customer wants. Thus it is possible to produce different platforms for different customers and to implement numerous special requirements.
The solution is sustainable in terms of environment due to high savings of emissions and reduced consumption of ressources. It also shows economic benefits over the long term due to savings in reproduction of new car parts. In the social dimension it helps the most desired application of car sharing to become more sustainable and productive. So it changes the behavior of the people not to own a car, but sharing one with the community.
