In the last 3.5 years, our experts for Functional Coatings have carried out challenging studies by working within a #horizon2020 project designated BAT4EVER EU Project and titled “Autonomous #Polymer based Self-Healing Components for high performant LIBs”. 🔋🔋 On January 31st, 2024 at #VUB in #Brussels, the #BAT4EVER consortium came together with their sister project HIDDEN Project under the umbrella of BATTERY 2030+ initiative and proudly presented their latest results gained throughout these two projects. The joint final event was called "Self-Healing Batteries: Where are we today?". It covered the technical/scientific issues around the introduction of self-healing phenomenon into Li-based batteries and also evaluated the future of this technology in the context of #batteries. Outstanding #speakers shared their expertise on the latest developments in materials for self-healing batteries, #prototyping, modelling, manufacturing and testing in both projects. The event has concluded with a round table discussion on the usage and challenges of self-healing batteries in #industrial applications.

High-speed harmonization panel : bridging the gap between conventional trains and maglev technology

Where are you working this Wednesday? 👀 Michelle Miles is with the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) at a MemberExpo in Telford today 🤩 The first roundtable discussion is around the subject of EV transition ⚡️ In an industry that is always moving forward, we will always be out there learning 👏🏼 #electricvehicles #electricfleet #roadtozero #greenfleet

Milestone: Celebrating 25 Years of Innovation at VAF Instruments!   We are thrilled to announce and celebrate the 25th anniversary of our groundbreaking ViscoSense technology at VAF.   In the maritime industry, where most operating costs are fuel-related, optimizing fuel efficiency is key.   Why does it matter? Well, most of a ship's operating costs are tied to fuel, and efficient fuel usage is crucial. With ViscoSense, we enhance combustion efficiency, prevent engine damage, reduce maintenance costs, and minimize greenhouse gas emissions.   By precisely managing viscosity, we're contributing to a more sustainable and cost-effective maritime future.   Here's to 25 years of innovation, and to many more years of making a positive impact on the seas and the environment! 🥂   #VAF #ViscoSense #MaritimeInnovation #Sustainability #FuelEfficiency #GreenShipping

Let's Unplug & Play! 🔌 We're flipping the switch on the construction game with our electrifying new range debut at INTERMAT Paris . Say hello to the V8e wheel loader equipped with a 0.8 m³ bucket capacity and powered by a 48V powertrain battery. Accompanying it is the SV17e mini excavator, featuring a 48V powertrain battery and an 18.3 kWh battery capacity, perfect for maneuvering through various terrains. And let's not forget the C08e carrier, with a transport weight of 590-750 kg, powered by a 24V powertrain battery and boasting a 10.4 kWh battery capacity. With zero emissions and maximum efficiency, they're not just changing the game, they're leading the charge towards a greener, more sustainable future. Don't miss the spark – join us at Intermat: 📍Stand EXT6C 098! #Unplugged #YanmarCE #Zeroemission #electricmachinery #sustainability

A new ‘unplugged’ era has begun at Yanmar CE. 🔌 This week, Yanmar Compact Equipment takes its first foray into alternative drivelines, with the launch at the Intermat Exhibition in Paris of three all-new electric machines that will soon be available to our EMEA customers! In our new zero emission ‘Unplugged’ lineup are the SV17e mini excavator, V8e compact wheel loader, and versatile C08e tracked carrier. With performance and total cost of ownership more than a match for traditional ICE machines, the SV17e, V8e, and C08e are dedicated to meeting the industry and society’s demands of the future. At the core of Yanmar CE’s design philosophy is an operator-centric approach, embodied by our ‘Building with You’ tagline. For those in EMEA who are ready to shape landscapes while safeguarding the environment, the new Unplugged range is ready to (electrically) empower that vision. ⚡️ #YanmarCE #BuildingWithYOU #business #Innovation #CompactEquipment #construction #earthmoving #Unplugged #electric #Intermat2024

Just as uncomplicated as a diesel: the new MAN eTruck from LoadFox's plant logistics drives, loads and delivers effortlessly and extremely efficiently. The new MAN eTGX has been in regular use for MAN's own logistics service provider LoadFox since November 2023. Covering 600 kilometres with intermediate charging only during driving breaks is no challenge. Following successful journeys between MAN sites Dachau and Nuremberg, the MAN eTGX has now also been deployed on the Dachau-Salzgitter route. There, the electric lion proved that it is ideally suited for long-distance transport. With a typical load of 9 tonnes, the eTruck used around 0.97 kWh/kilometre on the very demanding route over the Kassel mountains. That is less than half the energy required by a diesel vehicle. The experience gained with the eTruck on long-haul routes is important, so that such routes can soon be regularly operated electrically. The MAN eTruck and the LoadFox team have already impressively demonstrated in recent weeks that this will not be a problem in the future either. At this point, a big thank you to all the colleagues involved for their great motivation! #MANTruckAndBus #MANeTruck #MANeTGX #MANSustainability #eMPOWERINGYou #ZeroEmission #LoadFox
